BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

I have yet to see any of the House Dems who voted against DHS funding condemn their 7 colleagues who voted for it, or call out leadership for failing to whip up a unified front of opposition.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but there should be publically aired tribunals for as long as it takes to hold every last one of these thugs accountable. No one, not even the people who file paperwork or handle payroll, should be immune from prosecution.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

“As many of us who have lived at the southern border and have worked to resist and mitigate the impacts of its militarization have warned for decades: the borderlands are a laboratory for the rest of the country”

Personal hero is a nun I met in Texas who waited until her mother died to break into the School of the Americas to stick a cross in the lawn with the names of the nuns killed in El Salvador in 1980 bc she knew she would go to prison and “couldn’t let her mama see that.” She ended up doing 6 months.

Same, and in all of the time I’ve spent reporting, observing and volunteering on the US-Mexico border some of the most radical leftist people I’ve met have been religious leaders, priests or nuns.

From the great David Wojnarowicz (thread):

"I wake up every morning in this killing machine called america & I’m carrying this rage like a blood filled egg & there’s a thin line between inside & the outside a thin line between thought & action & that line is simply made up of blood & muscle & bone"

"For someone my age who was in the civil rights movement, and in other struggles of the 1960s, I’ve seen miracles happen," the revolutionary and historian responded. "I’ve seen ordinary people do the most heroic things. When you’ve had the privilege of knowing so many great fighters and resisters, you can’t lay down the sword, even if things seem objectively hopeless." "I’ve always been influenced by the poems Brecht wrote in the late 30s, during the second world war, after everything had been incinerated, all the dreams and values of an entire generation destroyed, and Brecht said, well, it’s a new dark ages … how do people resist in the dark ages?" "What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight."

Aware that he only had a few months left to live the great Mike Davis gave one of his final interviews to the Guardian in 202.

"You’ve been organizing for social change your whole life. How do you deal with a future that feels so bleak?" Lois Beckett asked.
