Fishpimp. Former expeditioneer. Sorry if I snap at you. I’m irked.
One day out of the year I’m not going to say anything at all negative nor lend any energy to those that do. Maybe I’ll try and make it a habit (more than one day a year). 🎅

The 2nd Amendment is a remnant of slavery, which is a big part of why the Right doesn’t want people to understand black history in context. America’s current love affair with guns was born of racism.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

If ICE comes into your workplace dont let them single anyone out or separate citizens from non citizens. Stay in 1 group, especially if there are people present who are at risk of detention. Hold hands & lock arms if necessary. Know where it is safe to hide or easily escape from if it gets to that.
