Things aren’t looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it

Part of the reason we are seeing such an active protest movement now is that ICE is doing its thing in Minneapolis, which was able to mobilize the existing activist network that was created as a result of the police murder of notable
whiteblack person George Floyd. This murder was national news and led to police reform in a bunch of states.When notable
whiteSalvadorian person Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegal deported to a foreign torture prison, there was nation wide protest, with Senate Chris Van Hollen traveling to El Salvador. This nationwide protest movement eventually secured his release.
