ngl there is racist connotations in the way people label ICE as "masked thugs" or "gang members". by doing this you're disassociating ICE from state institutions & associating them with racialized terms of criminality in order to reinforce the idea that they're dangerous. In reality they're just cops & this is just cop shit.

it genuinely sucks that words change and become racist. the R word was meant to be the correct term. but assholes exist.

language changes, too fast if you ask me. but it does. we have no choice but to keep with the times.
