renakj.bsky.social @renakj.bsky.social · 21/01/2026many of the tactics we are seeing right now are direct imports from policing. cops and ICE and law enforcement are part of the same political constituency and same project of state violence. the overlap in the communities they target is MASSIVE which we are seeing in this enforcement in real time. 010

renakj.bsky.social @renakj.bsky.social · 30/08/2025gives me chills that people can see somebody experiencing houselessness & feel that *they* are the victims of that story. and that the policy solution is ensuring that they no longer have to see or be proximate to that person, rather than addressing the conditions that leave people without housing. 030

renakj.bsky.social @renakj.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Oh absolutely. I think it’s both depending on the circumstance. Like when you think about criminalization of abortion, for example, there’s the issue that now police are called when someone miscarries at the hospital. But of course there’s the other issue of cops doing whatever tf they want. 010
renakj.bsky.social @renakj.bsky.social · 27/06/2025I think the idea is more like: it’s nothing if humans don’t enforce it and, even then, we they have the capacity to enforce it in the face of people actually massively organizing in defiance of it. But largely agree. 110
