What strikes me as the strange idea is the notion that all fights for justice are preemptively responsible for any backlash they may engender, and should (naturally) pre-surrender. History would look very different under this view. Choose justice. The only way out is through. We fight on.
Very strange this idea that what Trump et al are doing now means that people who criticized the “wokeness” that preceded him should now apologize for getting things wrong. It seems far more likely they got many things right and the prior moment paved the way for this one.

“I’ve been disappeared because a rainforest killing plagiarism machine picked me out of a hat”, coming to a dystopia near you
Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

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.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.
