I talk to MAGA voters a lot. They are open and honest about supporting mass deportation. They think it's a good thing, and they support the mission of ICE. The language they use to justify it and to excuse the horrors, is *exactly* the same language that centrist Dems use to justify US policing.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Ta-Nehisi Coates wields words like sledgehammers.

A paragraph from Ta-Nehisi Coates' book The Message, which reads: "It may seem strange that people who have already attained a position of power through violence invest so much time in justifying their plunder with words. But even plunderers are human beings whose violent ambitions must contend with the guilt that gnaws at them when they meet the eyes of their victims. And so a story must be told, one that raises a wall between themselves and those they seek to throttle and rob."

this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional

One former Cigna executive recalled how the US health insurer used to frequently face threats when claims were denied. “We’d have times when you’d deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent would freak out,” said the former executive.

Another industry executive said: “What’s most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity.”

Burger King does revenue on the order of billions. Fines for violating labor laws like this should not be so small that they are effectively just a line item. Treating this as a petty crime while throwing the book at shoplifters is crazy.

John Brown was executed #OTD in 1859. His embrace of violence as a means to empower enslaved people to take their freedom occurred within a system of violence that made slavery possible and in which it thrived. That's something to remember next time you dismiss Brown by calling him a "terrorist." 🗃️

We’ll see amnesia the other way, as well—Trump will claim credit for something Biden achieved, while liberals imagine that brutal treatment of foreigners is unique to Trump. As on so many issues related to nationalism, Trump may have pioneered exclusion but Biden consolidated and systematized it.

Why would Israel shoot a 10-year-old girl in the chest? This is horrific.

A 10yo girl displaced from #NorthGaza shot in the chest crossing an Israeli forces checkpoint south. The @UNOCHA team stabilized & referred her to hospital.

Israel killed 100 people in Gaza today. I listened to NPR this evening, and this wasn’t even reported in passing. There was even a report about an initiative to save endangered wolves somewhere, but no mention of the 100 people who were killed in less than 24 hours.

It's true that bluesky isn't great for news and commentary about Palestine. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. But we have to keep trying because it's crucial to talk about Palestine precisely where it feels unwelcome.
