This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

I also think it's interesting how no one takes into account: - How many competent POC officers got removed - Hegseth PT physical demands > functional combat training - Many of these troops enlisted & trained during COVID, may have had it multiple times - Morale vs. senseless war

Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Walia reminds us that calls to abolish ICE must be rooted in a broader abolitionist politick, as ICE is a bipartisan piece of the carceral machine. Abolishing ICE means abolishing the DHS means abolishing borders means abolishing all carceral systems.

A screenshot of an excerpt from an article that reads, "But what the past decades of immigration struggles have taught us is that we must learn to resist a singular focus on ICE as a rogue agency, looking instead to how the sprawling border policing apparatus has been built up over years as a bipartisan effort. We certainly do need to abolish ICE, but that cannot be the only goal. The agency’s abuses are not new, not created by Republicans alone, and not distinct from other enforcement agencies: they are tethered to otherwise normalized carceral and militarized infrastructures that will persist even without it. Abolish ICE is part of a broader political project that strikes at the heart of the border."

A screenshot of an excerpt from an article that reads, "It is not enough, then, to focus on the governance and oversight of ICE because the agency is not an anomaly. Instead, we must question all carceral systems that capture an expanding web of subjugated people. As abolitionist Mariame Kaba insists, the abolition of policing goes beyond the police, recognizing that child welfare reporting, drug courts, mandatory psychiatric treatment, and immigration detention are also forms of criminalization and control that are counter to providing meaningful safety. Abolishing ICE, then, is the floor towards abolishing all policing and carceral systems. Abolishing ICE also means permanent, full rights for migrants and abolishing the border itself—a structuring force for all immigration, policing, and military violence."

If an officer …takes advantage… of a person in custody, what you are seeing is an embedded toxic power dynamic. ALL officers are culpable because this power imbalance is baked in. A feature, not a bug.

To state the obvious, this is at odds with the government being accountable to the public. Sure, some info is confidential or private. But in broad strokes, either you have a secret government that acts with impunity, or you have an open government that acts with accountability.

I see “vote blue no matter who” discourse starting up again. I’d like to remind you that both parties will cater to rich donors over “the poors” and therefore do not represent the people. Their policy decisions show they don’t consider you a person until you’re no longer poor. You’re beneath them.
