I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
It's not what beliefs you hold, but how you hold them.
Even the term "ethnic cleansing" sanitizes the ugly truth.

People have died there and will continue to, so not to minimize what you're saying, but a death camp is explicitly for killing people in large numbers.

A very good question.
Why aren't we seeing the videos people post? Is social media blocking them? I used to see videos people were posting on Bluesky and Threads in Minneapolis, and now I don't see any.

Why are so many undocumented immigrants being held in detention for so long instead of being deported?
Simple. The billionaires who own the detention centers get paid for keeping people here. They don't get paid for people who get deported.
It's not about the law, it's about taking your money.

And until we develop an authentic understanding of this pathology and its causes, we will remain nearly powerless against it.

"Flood the zone with shit" is intended to paralyze by making everything a distraction from everything else.
Note the transgression. Dwell on it as long as you need to.
Also note that the flood is still rising, and you must rise too.

Y’all, I’m kind of upset about these big accounts suggesting the racist post by Trump is a distraction.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

BY THE SAME TOKEN let's cease granting the morally mutilated the rhetorical ability to affect the humanity of others. The subject/object agreement is all wrong. Dehumanization is what an individual does to *oneself* in order to treat a human being inhumanely.

Not to excuse it in the least, but if you're going to do quantitative comparisons then the size of the overall population is relevant too. Just saying it's not as powerful an argument as you may think it is.

Qanon never stopped any CSAM production, never saved any kids, but did help keep a guy in power who probably raped kids with his best friend The World's Most Famous Pedophile. So, in the end, I guess the real Qanon was the friends they met along the way, on the CSAM enthusiast website.
