DADDYING blog: Our Daddying Thoughts Post-Election
Daddying Editor Scott Beller and Daddying Film Festival & Forum Founder Allan Shedlin, offer their daddying thoughts after digesting results of the 2024 Presidential Election.
bit.ly
My 1st post here is for my daughters (and yours), whose voices and spirits may be strong but their rights to speak up, speak freely, and assert autonomy over their own bodies are at great risk. I am forever their ally, their advocate, and their Dad.

Someone sent me this photo, which must have been taken while I was writing the column below about “Seeing People.”
Without Dorothea’s work we’d know much less about the last time our country ran en masse concentration camps.
Please read it to understand why now we know, we must Document Everything.

A Democratic Party that reflected the values of its base would put this into its national platform: "Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans."
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

UPDATED MINNESOTA ICE GUIDANCE: “All targets must be have a criminal Nexus”
So… that wasn’t the case up until now? Is this not an admission of guilt? 🤷🏼

Lawyer: I've been representing a mother and her 5 children. The two youngest children have lived 20% of their lives in that facility. We've had awful reports of mental health deterioration. This facility is a jail. It's unconscionable that there are children at this facility.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Any “concessions” that Senate Democrats squeeze out of Republicans are pure theater. Trump and Stephen Miller will ignore them anyway — it’s all LIES.
Schumer and every Senate Democrat must STOP funding ICE and Border Patrol NOW. No more blank checks for brutality and murder.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

As I noted here, ICE's masks have given them impunity to inflict harm without consequences, just like the Klan.
And just like the Klan, when they're unmasked by new laws, they'll be weakened across the board.

It's amazing how this radical "step too far" is how every law enforcement officer in the country operated for our entire history.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Much of detainee medical care is handled by private contractors. Investigators have documented repeated failures to meet medical standards. But federal spending on detention keeps rising.

A hallmark of authoritarian regimes is that anyone close to the autocrat who attains too much power gets stabbed in the back by everyone else in the autocrat's orbit. This chaos and conflict is to prevent too much power accumulation that threatens the leader. Miller will be pushed out.
