The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

In times like this there’s a real risk that comes with framing decency as radical.
When we talk about being radicalized we need to go beyond empathy and into collective struggle against systems of oppression.
Caring for others is necessary, but it’s not sufficient.
