An excellent summary here via @… about how the structures of our civil society have failed to stop ICE from becoming Trump’s Brownshirts.
The one thing the piece omits: someone •is• stopping ICE. It’s the citizens filling the streets, honking and shouting and filming and generally harassing ICE, doing the work our government has failed to do. If it were not for that response being so widespread, sustained, and forceful, we’d be in far worse place right now. https://mastodon.social/@AnnaAnthro/115616389777857234

Between February 12th and 15th, the U.S. sent 299 people—from countries such as Afghanistan, Cameroon, Somalia, and Iran—to Panama. On February 20th and 25th, the U.S. sent an additional 200 people, including 81 children, to Costa Rica. Soon afterward came third-country-deportation flights to Uzbekistan and El Salvador, where more than 250 non-Salvadoran immigrants were detained in the brutal Terrorism Confinement Center.
It is oft repeated that you can't solve social problems with technical solutions.
However, there's a flip side to this: you can actually create social problems via technical choices.
