The ICE Agent Cometh They’re not hiding anymore.

ICE is in the airports now.
Not the border.
Right where you travel.
And the hardest truth?
Some of the faces enforcing it look like us.
The mask is off.

The dictatorship of capital doesn’t give a damn about the American people. Every dollar wasted, every guard deployed, is oppression and brutality enforcing compliance. The state exists to protect capital, not us. #CapitalOverPeople #StateViolence

Autocratic systems can be of religious nature or governed by strongmen, despots, oligarchs, tyrant families or autocrats ruling apartheid systems or nationalist, populist, ultra-right, fascist, theocratic or kleptocratic regimes. #Autocracies#Coercion #StateViolence

The 4 basic levels of Authoritarianism, from least restrictive to total domination of society & the individual.

Notes on Totalitarianism

US #ImmigrationPolicy is #StephenMiller's totalitarian testing playground. Its use of #Ideology, #Surveillance & #StateViolence against #Civilian #authoritarianism to its most extreme. We are already on the path to #Stalin 's Soviet Union, #Hitler's post-1934 Nazi Germany & #NorthKorea.

The Golden Age Of America! #PoliticalBullying #AbuseOfPower #Intimidation #Coercion #StateViolence

Another chilling, horrific display of state violence being used to restrict the reproduction of racially marginalized people. #ReproductiveJustice #ICE #StateViolence

The reason Nazi Germany gets referenced before enslavement or Jim Crow is simple. Whiteness recognizes itself in one story and absolves itself in the others. Empathy that arrives late isn't insight, it’s self-preservation. #SelectiveEmpathy #StateViolence
