ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

During the campaign season of 2024 (too short and also too long) I keep telling people about the "Trump reign of terror" that was coming if Trump+Vance won. I felt ridiculous saying that. But I saw the "Mass Deportation Now" signs at the RNC. Now it's here. Now lots of people are using that phrase.
