The raids allegedly began in response to a recent ProPublica article featuring letters and drawings from children inside the San Antonio-area immigrant detention site.

    You’d think stealing children’s drawings would result in a “are we the baddies” come to Jesus moment for these people, but at this point it’s clear these monsters have no souls.

      I think most people would have that moment somewhere before they started locking children into prison for the crime of existing in the wrong place.

        True. Lots of what should be reflective moments along the way. Can’t reflect when you have shit for brains, I guess

    Abusers never seek to change or repair, only to cover up their offenses. It’s well past time to stop the crimes against humanity

      Not “only to cover up their offenses“ but, most importantly, to continue them.

    Well that’s gotta be near the top of the list of activities that will immediately put you on the “we’re the baddies” list.

    If you worked for GEO or CoreCivic, it should be a mark worse than a criminal record getting another job.

        What are you doing that’s more effective so we can emulate it? Legit question, I’ll do more if I know what it is that needs doing and is realistically doable (hence asking what you are personally doing about it)

        Every successful political resistance includes a healthy protest movement. It is necessary.

        • stop ignoring history of social change
        • pay attention to all the other important aspects of resistance that are building momentum and being set up
        • don’t be a saboteur and plunge into pointless violence
        • apply pressure, including violence, in a disciplined and strategic manner
        • whining, whinging, and demanding bad strategy and worse tactics are a win for the opposition
        • everyone can contribute to resistance in many ways
        • a coordinated front is necessary, but also mass noncompliance and microresistance
        • get to work yourself in more constructive ways

        May I add that while the whole world is dealing with a surge in authoritarian bullshit, the particular case of the USA is going to require much more than just a shift in the political roster. The problem is deeply cultural, as evidenced by the hollywood style approach of so many armchair tacticians. Start there, and work on you and yours while also taking direct action.
