Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The white house used a chains emoji to (jim) crow about Lemon's arrest. A chained Black man is not a subtle dog whistle, it's a very clear nod to this countries slave owning beginnings, which ideologically this administration either seeks to deny or rewrite to say "slaves were happy."

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

CBS buried an interview with a 25 year police veteran who clearly explains why ICE’s killing of Renee Good in Minnesota was unlawful and unjustified—just like they did with CECOT. So I’m airing it. This is the danger of billionaire owned media and censorship under the Trump regime.

I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

I don’t think nearly enough people are willing to connect the dots between the all hands on deck effort to discredit and ban critical histories, even those that sought to expand the “patriotic” vision like the 1619 Project, and our current moment where this vision is now supposedly hegemonic.
