ICE raids and unlawful detention are new for everyone else. I've had to deal with this my whole life.🤷🏿♂️
More than 100X as many Black men a month will have an experience like this, than people being mistreated by ICE. Not a typo. One hundred times more innocent people harmed like this, even though both populations are about the same size, ~50M Black people, and ~50M immigrants.
But people will still hop on here to say both: "ICE is terrible!" and "Woke 1 went too far!"🤡

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Speaking of “woke” … G Elliott Morris pointed to this today, and I read it and was 🤯 over the disrespect shown to Jamelle by Michelle Cottle, and to Black people in general. She basically waved her hands and said: no one cares what y’all think “woke” means, that word is owned by white people now. I only read the transcript, and I’m impressed by Jamelle’s ability to be grumpy and (appropriately) dismissive without giving offense. A survival skill for someone like him, no doubt. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/opinion/politics-maga-right-left-woke-primaries.html

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Ignoring the first problem, is what gave us the second one.
