- Reposted by Obliquely obviousThe US embargo on Cuba goes back 66 years. According to a state dept memo at the time, the people of Cuba supported Castro, who had removed the US backed dictatorship. Thus it was decided to "deny money and supplies to Cuba" to "bring about hunger, desperation, and the overthrow of government"

- Reposted by Obliquely obviousSome US soldiers dropped Ace of Spades cards to mark kills in Vietnam. It's a move that got picked up by some white supremacist accelerationists, and now by ICE. They are dropping death cards when they disappear people and building concentration camps. We need to be very plain about the severity.

- Reposted by Obliquely obviousI don't think it's hyperbole to say that the only way to ensure a free and just society for our children and grandchildren is to enact policies as soon as possible that tax billionaires out of existence, removes their influence from politics, and breaks up the companies they've consolidated.

- Reposted by Obliquely obviousReminders: Law enforcement lies out of the gate as a rule about shootings in general. I don't say this to diminish anyone's reactions to what ICE is doing. Those reactions are appropriate, and we should be raging against this violence. We should also have a baseline understanding of state violence.

- Reposted by Obliquely obviousPredicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
- Reposted by Obliquely obviousThis is all pretense. They know they're going to lose big in November. So, they're preemptively establishing (false) claims and manufacturing (false) evidence. Which they'll use to justify (illegally) invalidating state election results and refusing to give up power.

- Reposted by Obliquely obviousNow that most of the country wants to abolish ICE, get ready for the goalposts to shift, so that abolish ICE becomes "reform ICE" as we get closer to the election. We have to continue pressure to make sure we really mean abolish, when we say it, otherwise we will be sold out.

- Reposted by Obliquely obviousDHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.
