THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.
I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

The fact that nobody in the US is facing consequences for Epstein is a reason why Epstein existed. There are two Americas.
We aren't living in the same world as those who live consequence free.

I could name a lot of examples here, but the one that is often overlooked is The Intruder (1962). Directed by Roger Corman (that Roger Corman) and starring William Shatner (that William Shatner). Filmed in the midst of the Civil Rights era. Shockingly relevant even today.

Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever...
But that's not the only shocking number:
- There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.

One effect of the gendered split in the US political imagination, in which liberals are feminized and conservatives are masculinized, is that liberals’ opposition to the right is cast as disavowed sexual desire. Liberals secretly want fascism, in this view, the same way women secretly want rape.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE.
Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE.
Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA.

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
