People - Americans - many of them innocent, are being kidnapped off the street and sent, without due process, to a black hole in El Salvador that the government claimed in court it is impossible to retrieve them from.
The scope of these kidnappings expands every day. They will come for you or your loved ones. We know this from every piece of history.
The father from Maryland “erroneously” sent to El Salvador is a nameable rallying point.
It is easily the most horrific and tangible aspect of the administration right now. And, these protests of ours notoriously lack a focused message or flash point.
And, personally, I feel like any more time spent at rallies where the speakers gloss over this and instead use the opportunity to speak to thousands of gathered centrists and liberals to politely recite poetry and ask “Are there any 90s kids in the audience? 🤪,” before we all break for brunch, is, well - I’m not sure how much more I can take. And I know I’m not alone.
We need to take this seriously. We need to use these events to wake each other up and agitate, not pat each other on the back.
And I firmly believe the best possible opportunity to do this is to focus on the horrific actions of ICE.
