I don’t think anyone would argue that colonization included genocide. What I’m saying is that you can dilute it if you use in other situations.

The endgame of authoritarian regimes is to no longer need popular approval. So don't be too sanguine about Trump's plummeting popularity.

This is SO horrible…
ICE is thug scum
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Words have definitions. If the word is used outside its’ definition, then yeah, the meaning is diluted. If we’re honest, we’ll use “genocide” where it’s really happening. English is a much larger language than some people give it credit for. Just be honest.

All the signs of an imminent U.S. air campaign against targets in Venezuela are flashing red today.
This is a huge mistake.

⚠️ MILITARY BUILDUP – While tracking ICE flights, we keep on noticing more and more of these (unrelated) military cargo planes going to and from Puerto Rico.

Good lord…
i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
