Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case has me fucked up.

I don't even know what to really say about it. Truth be told I was kind of numb when the first migrants where shipped off to CECOT and GITMO, which is bad on my part, maybe it was a coping mechanism idk. But this guy's harrowing case, the case of all these migrants that did nothing wrong outside of crossing a stupid line in the sand for the hopes of finding a better life, has me despairing even harder than usual. I just keep thinking about this all day and I feel guilty that my stupid first world white ass is free and allowed to partake in the empire's treats while these people are sent off to concentration camps, probably to die.

I know this should radicalize me even further and strengthen my resolve to be a better leftist but I just catch myself like slipping into nihilism that it's all futile and the bad guys have won.

  • It is absolutely terrifying. But I know what you mean - this should be radicalising people but this, along with how difficult life is now (so many people struggling immensely just to stay afloat) people are just getting worn down and despairing. People in the US are also probably too scared to take to the streets in case this happens to them.

      The best we can muster is some lib protests with epic Drumpf clapbacks.

      • I'm wondering now if this is at least part of the reason for the cost of living crisis, housing crisis, long wait times for medical care, etc. Maybe it was intended to wear us down and exhaust us so we'd be less able to fight back. Maybe what Trump is doing is just the start.
