But Faine, you don’t understand, if you call yourself a cynic it inoculates you from having to do anything or fight for anything

It’s not like many of us under 45 have any valuable real estate to protect here, dipshits
They raised a generation of Millennials to, rightly or wrongly, believe in an America where things like this are anathema to our very being. They then made sure the economy we had for our adult lives was demonstrably worse than the one our parents enjoyed. We are idealistic and have little to lose.

In many--even most!--situations, our national case of oppositional defiant disorder is an enormous pain in the ass. In this particular instance, an entire population that reflexively reacts to pressure with "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" is, in fact, a Good.

The Ukrainian opposition was also dragged kicking and screaming to the fight by the revolutionary self-organised people. It'll happen in America too, regardless of how spineless the Democrats are.

He was directing traffic around an ICE operation on Eat Street, looking out for public safety. Then he was shielding another protester with his body while ICE pepper sprayed them both.
He died protecting his community.
He should be alive to tell the story.
Abolish ICE forever.

Dear media,
As you report on another inexcusable act of violence by ICE against the American people, remember:
HOMELAND SECURITY LIES ROUTINELY AS A MATTER OF POLICY.
If you feel compelled to include the Trump regime's version of events, you must include that context.
Thank you.

They were always talking about the government coming for their slaves, coming for Jim Crow, and freeing their migrant serf labor force.
It was always a threat that government would expand freedom.

I am beyond sick and tired with folks acting like this wasn't always the case.
At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I wonder if it has yet dawned on any of the innumerable commentators petrified of “polarization” that racism, homophobia, transphobia, fear of immigrants, etc, are not targets of polarization that need to be brought into some vacuous big tent but are rather, in their essence, engines of polarization

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:
1) They were beating a struggling man with batons
2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back
3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away
4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

Nearly half a dozen agents wrestling one individual to the ground and then one of them just starts shooting in the dog pile, steps back and unloads on the guy on the street.

The reason I’m angry all the time is I spent the last 5 years trying to work on this with the The Adults in The Room™️ who briefly had the pretension they were taking this seriously, and they all abandoned it when it got “too political”—which was a form of surrendering to metapolitical terrorism.
It's really not that hard to draw a line from brushing off memeified social media Nazi content as "hahaha it's just a joke, lighten up, nobody takes this seriously," to murdering people in the street.
This is a good article about how pseudoarchaeological & pseudohistorical content can soften & spread extremist viewpoints. Extremists know how to weaponize & exploit this point:
"Even if a viewer doesn’t understand the underlying ideology, the memes can lead to more, and more overt, neo-Nazi dreck."

Call your senators. ICE today is a product of ICE of yesterday, of our carceral and policing and security logic — that’s all true. But shooting civilians point blank in the street with impunity is turning a corner we won’t come back from. Please call them today & tell them not to fund this.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
