"This isn't who we are!"
It is, though. None of this is new; as Black & Indigenous folks have *been* telling us, our euro-settler-colonial states have always been doing this to them.
We settlers need to start actually listening, & learn from them.

Training is not the issue.
Abolition is solution though.
Abolition is solution though.
A watchdog group has revealed that high-ranking ICE officials knew of a 353% increase in excessive use of force early last year. Officers in these incidents shattered car windows, deployed chemical agents, used extreme physical force to detain people, and killed at least one individual.
Docs Show ICE Agents Were Trained on Law and Deescalation. They’ve Ignored It.
Materials obtained in a FOIA request show ICE agents have grossly ignored their training this past year.

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

Here is some history on the Emmett Till memorial
All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.
It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Interesting that the statement issued by 80+ countries at the UN on the issue of Israel's "de facto annexation" measures reiterated a commitment to taking proactive steps in line with the ICJ ruling on the illegality of the occupation, and yet not a single major European power has done so yet.

I am more and more convinced that when cis people want to debate whether trans people get human rights, the only correct response is "I don't treat whether or not people get human rights as a debate topic or hang around people who do" followed by leaving.
