Again, what ICE does EVERY DAY is devastate relationships and destroy people. This is their job. Rage for Renee needs to not mark her murder as especially egregious because of her citizenship status. Rather, this was an escalation of force in the defense of a massive project of ethnic cleansing.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

if ice agents don't like this i have a suggestion about the "rest of their lives" bit

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

fuck every single person who gets angry at trans people for criticizing people like Gavin Newsom and claiming that we're doing purity politics. the anti-trans movement is THE issue leading the fascist charge. if you are unable to hold an extremely hard line on this, you lose literally everything.

The thing about "Les Misérables" is that its central doomed uprising is unambiguously left wing — in the *book*. But the *musical* cuts out all those political details. The lyrics of "Do You Hear the People Sing?" are just vaguely populist, not neo-Jacobin.

anyways, this is why reproductive oppression is not simply constitutive of a substantialist account of bodies but concerns effects on the entirety of all women and all trans people - because no gender oppressed person is able to escape the *consequences of* reproductive exploitation, even if

This man has been doing good for decades, but also, damn, does he know protest messaging and optics. He's got his one-sentence, clear summary of what he's there to protest and he is going to make sure everyone hears it.
