I totally get it and it sucks. I'm grossed out that the media didn't pick up the non white people.

However the moment people were told, they stood up and I think that's great.

Purity testing is the greatest enemy of the left (or maybe it's bad tofu?)

The right looks for allies, the left looks for traitors. We can't let mistakes and misunderstandings divide us.

Betcha this guy ain't feeling too clever these days

Who were they protesting in support of? White people?

Stop trying to divide us racially.

I think everybody understands that ICE Apes are killing all sorts of people, but I think the Good and Pretti deaths have become lightning rods because first, they were filmed, and second, because they were both clear cases of execution.

If we had video of the other deaths, and they proved to be just as heinous, and not in response to a brandished weapon for instance, then they'd be just as notorious. It was the video that made the biggest difference in blowing up these incidents, which is why it is a big win that ICE seems to be adding body cameras to all their Apes.

For those who want to believe that the only reason that we are getting upset about Good and Pretti is because they are white, should remember that there was widespread national outcry over the video torture murder of George Floyd, and the execution of the sleeping Breonna Taylor. Most Americans get just as outraged by the official murders of any American citizen, not just the white ones.

That said, I will acknowledge that these victims being white have done a lot to make MAGAs question ICE policies, while they wouldn't have cared if they were POC.

It's video, from multiple angles, that made the difference, not their race.

Sure I agree but can we we just list all the names of the people affected without the cringe "You only know about the white ones" bait for disengagement? We want to capture as many as people as possible into this movement against fascism, it's just fucking not the time to finger-wag and shame and even imply that we're not all on the same fucking side here. If you can't see how this pushes away average Americans you either don't care or don't understand how human emotional intelligence works.

Also, sure, fine, great. Impeaching Noem and "abolishing ICE" is good, but why is that the thesis? Why is that our goal? why isn't it "Impeach, overthrow or primary every politician who has enabled this fascist takeover of America"?

Something about this whole message feels a little off, and we need to be careful for any traces of divisive language and narrow goals for what we want.

It's not paranoia to say that there are truly evil people working around the clock to pay other people to seed our discourse with red-herrings, argument-bait and division. There are very real-seeming people who are actually just poor souls in other countries being farmed and paid by twitter to run propaganda campaigns, to make arguments and to get their materials shared and reshared as much as possible. If there's ever a time to lash out at anyone creating problems and division like rabid bulldogs, it's now.

The administration is all over the country at the moment buying up warehouses to store ICE kidnapees. There will be way more than 100 deaths by the end of 2026 if the trajectory of current events isn't brought to a halt immediately.

I agree with the sentiment, but I will clarify, people know the names of two of the 9 people not solely because of their skin colour...

But those two were violently murdered on camera in front of a crowd. No footage of the other 7 incidents is publicly available so far from what I've checked. Other than Keith Porter, the rest were in ICE custody at the time of murder, so no cameras present to immediately disprove the administration's bold-faced lies.

See this article for info on 8 of the 9. Latest on the 31 Dec 2025 murder of Keith Porter.

The entire GOP, senate, congress, are significant amount of white. this should this also fall onto the constituents who are still supporting trump and his mob. Would be great if they could learn empathy past skin color so they can see the full truth of their cruelty they unleashed upon the world.

9 that we know of.

I would say since we don't know who all killed and since everyone is wearing a mask. Hold every ICE goon and CBP goon personally responsible for each and every death and prosecute them as a serial killer.

And of course remember that Felony Murder is a thing. You can be held accountable even if you didn’t pull the trigger.

Fucking fascist paramilitaries.

May justice be done

I love the "it's neat to car about the victims but you suck for not caring about allllll the victims you jerk" trope. This is how movements lose people.
