Don’t wanna take away from the infuriation and frustration of the Alex Pretti murder. However:

The “Say His/Her Name” IS FOR BLACK PEOPLE!

The “Rest In Power” IS FOR BLACK PEOPLE!

The context of these sayings were rooted in BLACK PEOPLE killed unjustly.

Here comes Portland Police, once again fearlessly ready to put their lives on the line to protect the ICE building.

This is why "centrism" is so useless because it doesnt contextualize that both of the party platforms have shifted rightward over the past generations. A centrist today is much more right leaning then a centrist in the 90s.

I really need people to understand that ICE expansion has been a bipartisan goal for decades and that blaming only trump or only republicans is short-sighted and part of what got us into this mess

If people were vigilant about ICE activities during BOTH admins we probably wouldnt have this machine

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

People are acting like the US flag existed in this prejudice-free time before white nationalism existed

and it simply did not, the two have always been associated

I'd rather have decent neighbors than "patriots"

Nationalism is a big part of what got us here

This is what is driving me insane lately. I am so happy to see people rally in person. But until we can rally under the banner of human rights for every single last one of us we are going to just recreate fascism with a different figurehead over and over. And i dont see myself as radical for that.

Yes, and thats why i am so bothered by the "pro america" aesthetic of the no kings rallies, you're not going to out nationalism that nationalists. You're just showing them that you agree that white americanism is the thing worth defending here, the "american way of life", and not the actual people

the thing about the whole “we should reclaim the flag” argument is that I don’t know your warm and fuzzy feelings of attachment to a piece of cloth should trump the centuries of violence and death done underneath it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nationalism is nationalism. Doesnt really matter which party does it, it glorifies the same thing. I remember the debate over american flags at the 50501 protests and how some folks just could *not* grasp how an american flag could make another human being uncomfortable. They refused to try.

I guess my question is, is it more important to you to attempt to ammeliorate an image that has always represented white nationalism?

Or to actually hear out non-white people when they say, hey i dont feel represented by patriotism, and i don't want to be associated with patriotism?

If you put an american flag on any of your organizing materials theres like a 99% chance that i'm not going to trust you from the jump. Its a weird fucking identity to make appeals to, especially right now.

This is 10 months old and it feels more true each day
this is what freaks me out MOST about the dem party right now, is they're leaning into their national identity as a response to right-wing fascism, instead of unifying the party around solidarity among afflicted groups

What this says is that Alex Pretti and Renee Good were not the first people to be killed by ICE since Trump took office. Not even close. What this says is that they lied and smeared those people too. They told you those people deserved it and you didn't ask questions.

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

I think what scares me about the "this is un american" rhetoric is that it is still an appeal to nationalist identity. And making appeals to nationalist identity in the current "america for americans only" climate feels very short sighted.

The reality is that we are only doomed to repeat history when we refuse to learn from it.
