At this point, the article-a-day on what terrible new violence is happening in detention centers feels very similar to me to the sharing and resharing of viral videos of police assaulting Black people #AbolishICE #AbolishBorderPatrol #AbolishAllPrisons
The detailed descriptions of these intentional and violent abuses aren’t moving many of the readers/viewers. In fact, there are millions of people who are GRATIFIED by this violence, because it’s exactly what they WANT to see #AbolishICE #AbolishBorderPatrol #AbolishAllPrisons
