FUCK ICE.

Ive been reading an excellent book recently, dear reader.

Its called The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World and it’s written by Anthony Lowenstien. This book has been particularly interesting with a lot of discourse ongoing about ice tactics, people such as Hasan Piker, Taylor Lorenz, and others, have compared the tactics of ice to that of the IDF, to much backlash,but in fact, they are correct. ICE is using the playbook of isreali occupation to occupy american cities. fascism and imperialism will always come for its own eventually, it is the natural course of these things that they will turn against others and upon themselves.

ICE cannot continue, even with some modest reforms. There is one solution here, and it is a simple one. We MUST abolish ice. ICE is not an old agency, it is only 6 years older than me. (im 16) it can be abolished, and any democrat who wants to be a senator, or a congressperson, or president, MUST committ to this, because otherwise this endless cycle of violence will continue, Ice will continue abusing immigrants, but we wont talk about it nearly as much. ICE will simply murder the brown and black people in silence, instead of the white people theyve been murdering out loud. Did you know on new years day a black man named Keith Porter was killed by ice? i bet you didnt, because he didnt get the same coverage alex pretti did, the same that renee good did. Because renee and alex were white, they were worthy of a bruce springsteen song, But keith? Keith was a black man. so no tears will be cried for him, and murders like his will continue as long as ice does.

So, all this to conclude, WE MUST abolish ICE, and if you can, go out an protest today, shut it down. try not to participate in the economy, skip work or school if you can, and attend a protest near you.
