One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

Regardless of stances, every single American should be outraged that government officials can take someone away, not for committing a crime or doing harm, but for voicing their beliefs & standing up against indiscriminate violence.

If it can happen to Mahmoud Khalil, it can happen to anyone.

“get well soon” coming from a neurotypical actually means :

figure out that weird sh!t you got going on so we can get back to normal and act like this didn’t happen before i use this as an excuse to end our friendship, because clocks ticking and this doesn’t help my social currency 👍🏿

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Big Companies in 2020: "We are committed to learning & growing. Here is our plan to support diversity and inclusion in our company."

The same big companies in January of 2025: "WHEW! GLAD THAT'S OVER!" *Tosses diversity plan and staff out*

Y'all are not about to "content of their character" us to death.

A thread of other things MLK said that certain folks will never share on MLK DAY:

Problem solving isn’t the same as creativity. The former requires the latter but same isn’t true vice versa.

People that defend AI art make me realize that the people with the most power in our technocratic society fundamentally don’t understand what it means to be a human.

We can absolutely talk about antiblackness and intracommunity issue without the adherence to white supremacy and its ugly legs and condoning it even when mad.

Cause now you losing the plot . I’m mad at other marginalized groups sure:

But I ain’t rooting for deportation

Not cuz we’re “lucky” but because the state has displaced that violence elsewhere.
