This seems an excellent starter post for another thread of reposts on #USpol and #AbolishICE. Feel free to mute thread if you’ve had enough US doom & gloom in your feed.

  Whenever you see what #ICE is doing in front of cameras, you must imagine what they're doing where nobody can see them--like in the concentration camps the USA is building. It's easy to read those words and much harder to fathom what they mean; that this is happening in our day and age, in what until recently was believed to be a first world country. "Abolish ICE" doesn't go nearly far enough in my view.

    "...the vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval. ... In Minneapolis ... There are countless videos from ICE Watch observers that show agents leaving without detaining anyone after they encounter resistance." https://www.ms.now/opinion/minneapolis-ice-watch-protesters-violence-research

    Tear gas — currently being deployed in Minneapolis — can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. From our 2020 investigation: https://www.propublica.org/article/tear-gas-is-way-more-dangerous-than-police-let-on-especially-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #Minneapolis #Minnesota #Protest #Police #Health #Trump #ICE
