    So they intend to stay in every major city for years, to establish a permeant presence as soon as possible, as if there will be a constant stream of people to detain and deport. It's foolish to believe they will stop at illegals.

      If they come for you neighbor in the morning, you should assume that they will come for you at night.

      They're already detaining people regardless of citizenship status. Local courts are literally being overloaded with habeas corpus cases. One ICE lawyer literally asked to be put in jail so they could get a good nights sleep.

      People know it won't stop there, but this make them fear, so they pretend nothing is happening, they just close their eyes and wait something to change even when they know nothing will change.

        I think a lot about white supremacy culture, and I think one in-obvious feature is how scared of white folks the white-bodied people generally seem to be.

        That fear seems like a rational choice- one of my very first experiences of folks with white bodies as a human was them cutting the tip of my penis off, so I get why folks are generally afraid.

        But that culture seems to be defined by its ability to normalize the harms it does to all who touch it, to reshape folks so that they don't even notice what gets cut off, and when the examine the scars they are forced to admit surely that must be the right and clean thing to do to all humans, even the ones who can't cut off -all- the dirty parts of their skin.

        What makes that fear interesting to me is how much of said fear gets sublimated in so many diffuse ways.

        The contradictions around folks who have an identity-defining amount of firepower and fear of the state, yet who tremble in fear to actually oppose the state are subliminal; that fear expresses itself as a deeply activating hatred for anyone who does anything as banal as to get in the street and yell.

        It's kind of a wild thing to witness.

      Given that DHS is collecting info on Reddit, I would assume that "domestic terrorists" (i.e. registered Democrats) will be ending up in old KMarts converted into concentration camps by 2H 2028 at the latest.
