This Pirkei Avot quote helps me feel a little less like I have to solve everything (it’s literally been thousands of years of people feeling overwhelmed!) and it cracked me up when someone stuck it on the pics of the tiny backhoe trying to dig out the EverGiven ship when it got stuck.

I know the idea of “better” policing is as old a demand as civil rights movements in this country, the impulse to call for it at this moment is so terribly cruel that it can only be understood as aligned with the terrorists.

It’s so telling when people think Black and Brown people saying “this is what has been happening to us” is meant to make them care *less* about the victim and not a wakeup call that they should have cared *more* when it was happening to other people

absolutely. the righteousness isn’t about just a absence/void of care, but a refusal of care. it’s ayn randification: “my refusal to care about others is virtue, actually”
which then frames people who *do* care about others as pathological, gripped by the vice of empathy

Very much related.
Folks not in MN (since MN have this down) - if you're tracking, they're tracking you. You can't do mutual aid if you're on the radar. Don't lead the bastards to your neighbors you're fighting to protect.

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.
