so like...putting ICE in airports is just a de facto ban on flying for non-white/trans/immigrant/marginalized people, right?

i'm very privileged in a lot of ways, but this combined with ICE now looking for trans immigrants specifically, i really can't see how it's safe for anyone to fly (esp anyone of a marginalized identity).

i get that this is the point of the fascist regime, but like i feel like this is a major step towards no travel period.

idk, am i overreacting here? i'm definitely not going to pretend this isn't horrible, but i also don't want to overstate the risk, though the only conclusion i'm coming to is "no air travel until TBD". i want to think oh maybe this won't be so bad we'll see how it goes this week, but also i don't want to normalize fascism and ignore risks just to feel better.

"history repeats itself twice:

first by tragedy;

second by farce;

third by a second farce that makes you wonder if the previous farce was really the farce or if that was a different tragedy and this is the farce because *this* time it's really farcical, or this is the farce to the tragedy of the previous farce;

forth by oops we are invading the middle east again."
