Surprised more people haven’t impersonated police officers now that all you need is to be a white guy in a crappy face mask who says “I’m the police”

I feel sad that one of my first thoughts was man, I can’t wait for the “balanced” news coverage that paints a right wing assassin as someone who his neighbors liked who just happened to assassinate someone on Saturday.

DISTURBING: ICE in Las Vegas threw teenagers against a wall, handcuffed them, scraped up their faces, bruised their arms — just for looking “illegal” while they were on their way home from a birthday party. This is what cowardice looks like with a badge.

“You’re just too sensitive.” If you've ever been told this by someone who also left you feeling small, confused, or like you had to explain yourself constantly, this blog is for you. You were reacting normally to abnormal behavior. #narcissisticabuse #gaslighting #cptsd

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Yep. 1000% And they are rendered invisible by anti Blackness in the immigration movement that mostly doesn’t center their experience (let alone reference them) in the work And Black civil rights orgs don’t have this as a plank in their work sadly And anti immigrant folks count on this.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Interesting. I’ve been told these families are willing to use violence against their children if they date someone Black. I was today years old learning they have a disgusting ws phrase for strengthening their bloodline. Sounds plausible considering their consistent anti-Black aggression.

Was it North Carolina that needed FEMA funding that the White House denied? Well, if you watch what’s happening in LA you’ll see the misallocation of taxpayer funds to support the felon they elected being their retribution as he campaigned. He swiftly abuses taxpayer money for his ego projects.

This is a good read (published in 2013) about the normalization of increasingly militant policing throughout decades. The police were built on the rotten foundation of upholding fascism and protecting the ruling class, while brutalizing and oppressing people of color and marginalized communities.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

Buchenwald Bondi said: "The grand jury found that over the past 9 years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring" So the head of the DOJ doesn't even know that the grand jury doesn't investigate anything. Repubs & the media not only allowing this bs but fostering it.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
