"What the federal government has been doing to people assumed to be immigrants is different from normal police brutality. It is a targeted campaign. We are witnessing, for the first time since Jim Crow, American death squads."

ICE are despicable. I wrote this about them. youtu.be/bKpjs6zClXw?...
There have been many targeted police campaigns: against Fred Hampton and leftwing groups like the Black Panthers and Catholic Workers. Everything unfolding now is the result of the militarized police state that many of your loyal readers have advocated for decades.
bsky.app/profile/hill... I used to wonder how 1930s Germany happened; I haven’t in 10 yrs+ 2 lines that haunted me : “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing The appalling silence of the good-MLK Silence isn’t an option, they’re killing ppl
ICE and CBP remind me of the Stanford Prison Guard Experiment led this time by Stephen Miller while recruiting masked white supremacists, Jan 6 domestic terrorists, & sociopaths The murder & constitutional violations dont stop in the streets, the concentration camps are rampant w abuse & deaths👇
ICE, Proud Boys, Patriot Front, Oath Keepers. All racist, militarized, goon squads for a gangster regime. Gonna get worse before a chance at better. open.substack.com/pub/davidbgr...
Did the whitest person at the @thebulwark.com write this or just the dumbest? Seriously, what an obtuse set of observations. Go read a history book about modern police brutality, then put on your shirt that reads “JVL is a moron.”
At least you admit in part the problem which, as you correctly point out, isn't new to American history. But you fail to mention the racial component that's undeniable. A much more honest & constructive observation is to begin with this history, Jim Crow being one & Indigenous people killed another.
