I really cannot stress this enough. When I visited France, I visited a building where I read an entry in a log book where a Nazi recorded my great-grandmother's death in the camps. The name of this building was the "Musée de la Résistance et de la *Déportation*". It was not the "museum of the death camps" because they don't _call_ them death camps. While it's happening, they call it "deportations". The name "death camps" shows up once the occupying army is rolling their tanks into your capital.

When I say that "abolishing ICE is the centrist position" I mean that as someone who, perhaps as a squishy centrist lib dummy, does not want violence. This is the position that ICE agents should favor. They should favor it because the other thing, the "left-wing" position, the thing that any student of history can tell you *is what happens* to the "deportation police" once such a thing exists, is *much, much worse for them*. And the LA protests are approaching that outcome *fast*.

Like, speaking of France, can anybody else think of a time that a popular uprising targeted a prison in an urban center where political prisoners were being taken? Anyone pass world history in high school and remember anything interesting that happened to the people *running* that prison? Did it work out really well for them?

I'm just… I'm so fucking tired.
