The irony of two ICE agents, one black and one seemingly a Cuban immigrant, racially profiling a black man and cuffing him and carting him off without ever even identifying him because they say he’s an immigrant.

It kills me how often these videos show brown and black ICE agents violating the US Constitution to abduct and beat people for being brown or black. I don’t care how much ICE pays, it’s not worth selling out your own values and everything that was supposed to be good about this country.

    And you don’t seem to understand that desperation is no excuse

    This is exactly what I meant when I said anyone who dares to say words with nuance or depth gets jumped on.

    I never said it was an excuse. Nothing in any of my comments says or implies that. I very literally and directly said these people don’t get to use claiming they were just following orders as an excuse for evil actions.

    Trying to understand why people sign up with groups like this is important if you want to stop them and learn how to keep the same thing from happening over and over again. Trying to understand the reasoning behind a person doing awful things isn’t excusing those things.

    You’re just so full of hate that you see lots of words and they seem confusing so you get angry and think the other person is “part of the problem.” Don’t become the thing you hate. That’s how those MAGA folks act. If learning the roots of how a genocidal army forms and grows and understanding that the people doing these things are human and have human reasons for doing them is something you think is a problem then you’re starting to see education as the enemy just as much as they do. That’s not a good thing.
