Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case has me fucked up. (hexbear.net)

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.

Has me thinking about how if i got abducted there would be 0 news coverage, maybe a few people asking where i went who ultimately have no reach and eventually fading away drowned out by all the immense chaos rn and whatever other social media celebrity trends rise up

Im sure there’s people already who’ve been abducted and aren’t known

I know of a man in Texas who was a nuisance for a local city council. He disappeared one day, then his YouTube channel vanished.

Can you share their name/channel or any info?

[–] Liberteez@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

I can't unfortunately, it was someone else I know well who was following him and told me about this. All I can specificy was that it was in McAllen Texas, and that it made the news for one Texas TV station and one Mexican TV station when he became a missing person
