@julieofthespirits If you're not hearing that being discussed enough, then find those who are working on it and boost them.

@julieofthespirits If you haven't heard anyone bring that up, it's because you aren't listening to enough of the people out here. We want our neighbors back, and we're working for it. Some people are being released and returned--not enough, but far more than there would be if that work wasn't being done.

@inthehands I know, and it was their initial strategy with the DC Guard deployment and the beginning of the whole occupying cities thing, and it was dangerously close to working in terms of public opinion and legislative support. They try to tell us that targets are dangerous gang members, and it turns out they can't actually make people believe that about roofers and preschool teachers, but it's going to take work to make everyone stands firm on no kidnapping or concentration camps for ANYONE

@inthehands My big concern right now is that, since they're not getting any traction with trying to portray immigrants as a danger that they can save us from, they're going to pivot the kidnapping machinery back to targeting homeless people and Black Americans, the everyday fears of the Nextdoor and Facebook groups that neighbors hung out in before they'd ever heard of Signal. If we're not careful, they'll get the local cops back on their side and the block chats back to going along with it.
