Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff. For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2069...

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All
In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

4. Fonction idéologique : Ce langage individualise le malheur, naturalise la misère et invisibilise la lutte des classes. 5. Changer le langage permet d’agir politiquement : Dire « *Nom de la personne* est morte faute de logement » rend visible la cause réelle et critique l’ordre social.

2. Déshumanisation : Le terme « SDF » essentialise la personne à une catégorie abstraite, effaçant son humanité et sa singularité. 3. Responsabilité du système : La phrase évite de pointer le rôle de la société, de la propriété privée et de l’État dans cette mort.

Dire "un SDF est mort de froid" est problématique car cette formulation masque les causes sociales et la responsabilité collective. 1. Langage et naturalisation : « Mort de froid » suggère un phénomène naturel, alors que c’est l’exclusion, le manque de logement et l’organisation sociale qui tuent.
