Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Many people saying “well there’s finally video evidence” and? Have you not seen the near-daily videos of brown people being chased and zip tied and pulled out of their cars and beaten?
Am I living in the twilight zone?

I wish people were as horrified about immigrants being kidnapped and killed in detention centers as they are about this shooting at the same time I am very glad there is finally some larger momentum building against this and I hope it sustains.

Genocide isn't just killing people, it's also killing their social customs and religious rituals
And death rituals are among the most important rituals in almost every culture
To deny burials and death rituals isn't just cruel. it's a strategic snd demoralizing part of a genocidal campaign

“post-mortem detention” is far from the worst atrocity the Israeli state commits, but it’s so cartoonishly and needlessly awful, you want to think it couldn’t actually be true
and yet it is
and yet it is
> [Palestinian prisoner and martyr Walid Daqqa] entered prison as a young man of 24, exited it at 62. His body is currently in postmortem detention, a refrigerator. It will remain there until his false sentence is completed, in eight months’ time.

turns out when you legitimate a taste for bigotry people gravitate to the parties that serve it as an entree rather than as a garnish
