It's wild how like it's become normalized that there's paramilitary race soldiers on the street arresting anyone who's not white. (hexbear.net)

Just saw some footage today on the news of ice just straight up brown shirting it and made me feel despair. And we're still stuck arguing if Trump is racist or not when his goon squad are doing shit like this.

There’s a lot of anxiety in the Latino community but luckily ICE isn’t super active here, or not yet. Some of the guys in their early 20s I worked with over the summer seemed a bit indifferent “they won’t get me”, but that could be a lot of 20s male bravado. For what it’s worth they were citizens but I don’t know if their parents were. One guy who was closer to my age, came over at 19, full pathed his citizenship, he was a lot more pragmatic. Still had faith in the system he was personally safe from deportation but knew all this was about racism not “the border” so he knew he might get profiled and fucked with. But it’s just a low simmering feeling. Halloween was quiet. Día de Los Muertos was quiet. I’m just waiting for it to get worse.
