Since DuckDuckGo has decided to regionalize all my search results even when no region is selected (why?!? -
Methinks the bubble is popping.@Lydie yeah. Mushroom cloud is a fair analogy. Raining down radioactivity, ensuring that devastation spreads far beyond the initial blast zone.

Methinks the bubble is popping.@Lydie that is the bubble's hiss as it slowly releases a bit of putrid air. When it pops, you will not be in doubt. That's the awful thing about it. The explosive collapse. "Pop" undersells how impactful it is.

Hey. While I'm giving y'all the whole "Black people experience this every day, it's not new for us," let me give you one more important Black nugget of info:@mekkaokereke Amen. I just want to add: there are photos that are historically important as well as deeply traumatic to see. Kent State, Napalm Girl, Emmett Till's body, etc. But the difference is whether one needs to see them to understand a reality being denied. A deeply shocking photo can shed light, change minds, and shift political agendas. So there are people who DO need to see this video. It's unnecessary for those who know all too well that ICE is a rogue paramilitary force that gleefully terrorizes, kidnaps, and murders civilians of all ages/races/statuses--without consequence. Those won't learn anything new from it. Arguably, ICE even wants its opposition to take in many videos like this, to heighten fear and acquiescence.
Stay angry, stay mobilized, but _do_ share the video to individuals who still are deluding themselves about what ICE is. Because that's who needs a searing traumatic image that they can't get out of their heads. They need to confront the disconnects that they are clinging to.
