Politicians aren’t nearly outraged enough at the Trump regime disappearing these students of color. I’m not qwhite sure why?? But I bet we’d hear a very different tune if these students had the complexion for protection.

If you’re willing to sit silent when Black & brown people are denied due process and abducted by a fascist regime, then don’t be surprised when you’re the next victim of that same regime. That’s how fascism has always advanced—through complicit silence.

@QasimRashid A long story retold many times in many places but people hunker down hoping it will not happen to them
@QasimRashid First they came for the trans people and everyone was quiet-we know the rest.
It’s the same tactic #nazis in 1930s used. Once you accept that it is ok to throw one minority under the bus, the domino is in motion.

@QasimRashid

TIL a new phrase : Complexion of Protection.

#ComplexionOfProtection

@QasimRashid not sure why governors aren't activating their national guards to protective their citizens and legal residents for illegal kidnapping and detention

@QasimRashid

@QasimRashid when they come for the rest of us, there won't be anyone left to help. :(
@QasimRashid The path for a full authoritarian rule is the ability to normalize disappearing people that oppose.
@QasimRashid
I think we are appalled, outraged, disgusted, even a bit panicky, but we don't know what to DO about it.
I live in a completely blue state. My senators and congress people are all on board. How can we affect this?
@QasimRashid I don’t think I realized this many students have been taken! Thanks for this montage-it helps me to put things in perspective!
Disappearing? Like when the KGB and Gestapo kidnapped people and they weren't seen ever again, and wound up found in a mass grave decades later? I did not realize things were that bad in the U.S.
@QasimRashid You cannot see what is not shown. The Majority of Americans are Sickened And Fearful of this Administrations behavior(Hopes for a Supreme Court --this is unacceptable. When in Rome...Our Rights are Human Rights! This nazi Regime is not affordable.
@QasimRashid disappeared?? That’s terrifying. I’m so sorry that’s happening. I’m in Australia. We’re not hearing much about that.
