I remember 2003.
My English teacher had us all make personal book binders for our journals. Mine was covered in anti war decals criticizing Bush.
I got called in to the office and lectured by my principal about how Sadam was a terrorist and told I was a terrorist sympathizer and got detention.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

Millions of us have been against this since (at least) 2002... and that is why we had to be politically marginalized.
Under capitalism, within the logic of the superrich, there's no profit in justice or peace. Or in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Thin veneer of a silver lining: logging into Bluesky and seeing everyone on the feed agreeing this is a horrible apocalyptic sequel to all that we endured during the War on Terror era.
At least it's not just me being retraumatized today.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 97 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

ICE is conducting mass deportations whether people resist quietly or resist loud. Not sure what good optics do for the people torn from their families and communities.

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities:
Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly.
If any of these are your hometowns—get ready.
If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”
