Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

The VISIBLE Act would require federal agents to wear visible ID and ban their use of ski masks and other non-medical face coverings. Urge your members of Congress to support this critical bill at aclu.org/pass_visible.
A brown graphic with tan text that reads: “When ICE agents come into our communities, we need to know who is behind the mask.” Below this text is a smaller graphic containing two images: on the left, an image of a person holding a sign that reads “immigrants are welcome here” with a blue overlay, and on the right, an image of an ICE officer wearing a mask and helmet with a tan overlay. The ACLU logo is featured in tan in the bottom left corner.

Pulitzer prize for this Jay L. Clenendin image of LAPD stormtroopers in front of Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)"
About 3 dozen LAPD officers in full riot gear, standing around looking confused, bored, aimless. A waste of taxpayer money, a threatening show of force without morality or purpose. Behind them, the north wall of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, covered with Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)" mural: against a field of stark red, white letters that read, in part, WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

It's not that everyone "deserves" due process. It is that everyone in this country is GUARANTEED due process. It is not a matter of deserving it. It is a matter of law. I realize in some ways its a distinction without a difference, but I feel like we turn "deserve" into a measure not a fact.

ICE should be abolished Not because of their abject cruelty, but because their cruelty is their only function. There is nothing ICE does that someone from any other department can't already do. It's the "Promoting human suffering domestically" part of the taxes we send to the government
