ICE is putting the immigrants it sweeps up mainly into privately owned prisons. All of those prisons, and the communities where they are located, now have a direct financial incentive in maintaining fascist immigration policy. Awesome dynamic, nothing could possibly go wrong.

The most fundamental characteristic of fascism is its cult of violence. Where there is no pre-existing violence to exploit, violence must be manufactured.

Aggrieved whites pretending they only lost out because of "unfair advantages" to minorities is an old script. The Bakke ruling against racial quotas came after Allan Bakke was rejected by 12 different med schools. He sued the one that had a racial quota, arguing that and that alone kept him out.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The interesting thing about people dragging the folks in that NYT piece who said that they didn’t vote for moms to get deported is that the article is about how these women are organizing for a member of their community, aggressively and openly, and actually, that’s good.

One thing about this crew sock thing — if you have short legs, the sock cuts precious inches off. Now you’re just a pumpkin with kneecaps. If that’s what you want, fine. As for me and my house, we will be wearing ankle socks.
