This is what evil looks like. It’s frankly terrifying how quickly the United States is succumbing to authoritarianism. The building blocks were there, the signs were on the wall that it could happen. But to see ice becoming the paramilitary enforcement wing of maga is truly frightening. They operate without oversight, without fear, and without legal repercussions.
If we can get through Trump we have so much reform to just get back to baseline that I’m not sure it’s even possible.
I’m certain that these jobs are attracting sociopaths who literally want to use their positions of power to harm people. It was bad enough with regular cops but with ICE flaunting their disregard for the law the monsters are coming out in droves. Terrifying.
Anyway, this article has convinced me to start carrying my passport as a vaguely Latino looking person with a Spanish last name in Texas. (I am Filipino American lol.)
Jesus fucking Christ, this is infuriating to read. That second arrest I distinctly remember reading / seeing videos of. I genuinely don’t know how we come back from this.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
