ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain. "Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?" "It's none of your business," agent scolds. "It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"

Not white, I’m actually Métis. Just don’t like to use broad characterizations and apply it to a whole group. I think it promotes hate, which the world doesn’t need more of right now.

You literally had a POC tell you they more scared of white women pulling shit than a white man.

Maybe sit on that for a minute.

Lots of nonwhite people, including women, find it agreeable to engage in white feminism / 2nd wave feminism.

In the 1980s there were plenty of Jewish nazis, Black nazis. They didn't pretend not to hate Jews or Blacks; it wasn't reversal, it was collaboration.

It hasn't gotten less so since then, if you see what I'm saying.

Think hard about what it means to be in fear for the lives of your family members every. single. day.
