Everything that is happening now has been the SOP against Black communities for the better part of two centuries. It is impossible for me to be "outraged" because this situation is nothing more than macabre nostalgia.
All the shootings, detainments, dehumanization... it's all par for the course.
I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

A healthy democracy cannot have a standing force of vastly-funded, barely trained, heavily armed and masked secret police riven with a not insignificant number of white nationalists just waiting around to brutalize people.
Abolish ICE

It’s crazy how the “Don’t tread on me!” and “Live free or die” crowd is fine with masked gangs of anonymous armed federal agents hassling, detaining, and assaulting people on the streets “papers please”-style.
This feels like the most basic freedom of not living in a fascist police state.
This weekend, I'll be on panels with a slew of incredible talent at this virtual comic con.
Please join us - it's going to be awesome.
