Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Indistinguishable from a kidnapping (because it is) but exercising their illegitimate authority in such a way to provoke maximum fear - that they could be operating anywhere without warning or ID, and being unidentified, practically inviting attempts to resist that can be used to justify their acts.

If we begin to understand that what unite Latinx peoples is not flan, but rather the centuries of struggles with European and U.S. colonialisms, it will be a lot easier to understand the significance of Black liberation to Latinidad.

In my three years in that court, I never saw a white child shackled.

I saw 9-year-olds, 11-year-olds, children with intellectual disabilities, children who had suffered profound abuse--all shackled for hours. But what shocked me most: no one had objected in years. The government officials had become desensitized to everyday brutality.

THREAD. One of the moments that changed my career was my first day as a public defender in D.C.'s juvenile court. When I walked into the courtroom, which is closed to the public, all the little children were fully shackled in metal chains on their wrists, waists, and feet.
