Mark Greene on How ICE Is a Weapon of the Epstein Class

ICE has killed yet another person – a 26-year-old Columbian man in Biddleford, Maine.

According to initial reports, this young man, who was authorized to work in the United States and was not the target of a warrant, was shot through the windshield of his car by ICE agents. These agents then dragged him out of his vehicle and handcuffed him as he lay dying on the road. There are also reports that this brutal and unwarranted killing took place in front of the young man’s wife and three-year-old daughter.

In response to this shooting, residents of Biddleford have spontaneously taken to the streets in protest (right and below).

This killing is the eleventh by ICE agents this year. To date, there has been absolutely no accountability demanded from those responsible for these execution-style deaths, and no justice for those killed or for their families.

ICE is out of control as it continues to act without impunity as the domestic terrorist organization that it is. The Trump regime is not going to stop this madness as it is of its making. ICE, by design, is Trump’s personal paramilitary group. Only a massive disruption to “business as usual” across the country will bring this travesty to a halt – localized general strikes, in other words. Those who are profiting from the fascist Trump regime and, in particular, the expansion of ICE and the building of for-profit detention centers have to be hit were it hurts most. We also have to organize locally to support workers and their families who will be most impacted by these strike actions.

We also need to be very clear about what ICE is really all about and who it is that benefits from its deadly actions in our communities. In understanding this, Mark Greene’s recent commentary is very helpful. Following is what he says about ICE as a weapon of the Eptsein class. Greene wrote his piece in the aftermath of the July 9 shooting death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE agents in Houston, Texas.

_________________

We need to understand exactly what’s being created inside ICE, inside Homeland Security. The murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is one of hundreds of murders that have taken place either in detention centers or on the streets of our cities. Over 1,000 detainees disappeared from Alligator Alcatraz in Florida. Their records [have gone missing from ICE’s online database, with their families and attorneys unable to locate them].

It takes time for tens of thousands of men in an organization like ICE to slowly become desensitized to violence and torture. And it can only happen when these federal organizations, led by men like Donald Trump and Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, say explicitly to their officers that there are no limits on what they can do. It takes time for those men to believe it. It takes time for those men to try out little acts of violence fotst, to look around at the cameras pointed at them and say, I guess nobody’s gonna stop me. And slowly but surely, they grow their appetite for violence and cruelty.

The number of people that we do not know about, who have lost their lives in massive detention centers, people who are held in those centers not because they can’t be deported but because a private prison corporation is making massive profits every day that they hold those individuals.

It’s no accident that the men and women who run an operation designed to make profit off human torture and murder are also in the Epstein files. Over twenty people in the Trump administration are named in the Epstein files. This is the systemic and brutal torture being funded, operationalized, and profited off of by the Epstein class.

ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, and Homeland Security have become a massive for-profit murder and torture operation. And what comes next is they cease to make their mission immigrants and turn this huge infrastructure they’re building onto controlling and detaining American citizens.

We are at a grave and dangerous point in American history. This level of violence and torture being organized and implemented by our federal government isn’t going to end until the Republican Party loses its majorities in the Congress and eventually its grip on the White House.

But elections alone aren’t going to save us. And the only way this is going to end is if millions of Americans show up in the streets of our cities and demand that this ends. And it will not happen in a a single day. It may take months. We may be looking at an American Spring where we finally say this level of brutality, this level of savagery, this level of Epstein class violence must end.

“The World Is Watching”: Salazar Felicita on the Killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo

No body cameras. An unmarked vehicle. Officers in civilian clothing. A man is dead.

Stop arguing for just a moment, and let that sink in.

This is no longer just about one life. This is about the soul of our nation.

The whole world is watching America right now. They’re watching to see whether we still believe in justice, accountability, and the dignity of every human life – or whether we’ve become so divided that we’ve forgotten how to see each other as people.

Our greatest threat has never been one another. Yet every day we’re pushed further apart – by fear, by anger, by politics, by hatred. We are fighting each other while losing sight of what has always made this country strong: our unity.

When a nation is divided from within, it appears weaker to those who wish it harm. History reminds us that countries are strongest when their people stand together, not when they turn against one another.

This is bigger than immigration. Bigger than political parties. Bigger than race. Bigger than any single headline.

This is about whether we still have the courage to say that every human life matters, that every family deserves answers, and that justice should never depend on who you are or where you come from.

If we continue to let hate define us, then hate wins. If we continue to treat our neighbors as enemies, then we are helping destroy the very nation we claim to love.

America has always been at its best when ordinary people chose courage over fear, compassion over cruelty, and unity over division.

The world is watching.

Our children are watching.

History is watching.

The question is no longer who is right.

The question is who we will become.

Let’s choose to be remembered as the generation that refused to let hate have the final word. Let’s rise together – not as Republicans or Democrats, not as immigrants or citizens, not divided by race or background – but as human beings who refused to give up on each other.

Because if we lose our humanity, we’ve already lost everything that ever made America worth fighting for.

I Am One With the Beloved

I share this morning two expressions of wisdom and beauty.

The first is my adaptation of Lesson 124 of A Course in Miracles – Volume II: Workbook for Students: “Let me remember I am one with God.”

The second is the Jake Nava-directed music video for Tina Turner’s 2000 single, “Whatever You Need” (from her 1999 album, Twenty-Four Seven).

As you’ll see and hear, both the reading from A Course in Miracles and the lyrics of Tina’s song share a number of spiritual insights and truths.

I should note that the original Course in Miracles text uses the metaphor of father for the Divine Presence. I prefer and use the metaphor of lover as expressed in the phrase “Beloved One.” As with the previous adaptations I’ve shared (see here, here and here), if this one resonates with you, feel free to make it even more meaningful by using your preferred images and words: “God,” “Allah,” “Lord,” “Jesus,” “Holy One,” “Mother.” . . . I trust that they all serve as different pathways leading up the same holy mountain or, to use another metaphor, different gateways leading inwards to our center, the deepest part of which we all share. For as Henri Nouwen so beautifully reminds us: “In the depths of my being, I meet my fellow humans with whom I share [all things].”

____________________

Let me remember I am one with God.
Today let us give thanks for our Identity in God, the Beloved One of our Soul. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and that heals. At one with the Beloved and with the universe we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that the Beloved goes everywhere with us.

How holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear, and death give place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for the Beloved One is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with us as we walk on.

What we receive is our eternal gift to those who follow after, and to those who went before or stayed with us a while. And the Beloved One, Who loves us with the equal love in which we were created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave.

Today we will not doubt His Love for us, nor question His protection and His care. No meaningless anxieties can come between our faith and our awareness of the Beloved’s Presence. We are one with Him today in recognition and rememberance. We feel the Beloved in our hearts. Our minds contain His Thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only the loving and the lovable.

We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the distressed, the lonely and afraid, who are restored to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were created. And we see it in the dying and the dead as well, restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it first within ourselves.

No miracle can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. No thought of theirs but has the power to heal all forms of suffering in anyone, in times gone by and times as yet to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Their thoughts are timeless, and apart from distance as apart from time.

We join in this awareness as we say that we are one with the Beloved. For in these words we say as well that we are saved and healed; that we can save and heal accordingly. We have accepted, and we now would give. . . . Today we would experience ourselves at one with the Beloved, so that the world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the world is freed. As we deny our separation from the Beloved One, the world is healed along with us.

Peace be to you today. Secure your peace by practicing awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is with you. Sometime today, whenever it seems best, devote a half-an-hour to the thought that you are one with God. This is our first attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. We will trust God’s Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will not fail. Abide with God this half an hour. God will do the rest.

Your benefit will not be less if you believe that nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind. This half-an-hour will be framed in gold, with every minute like a diamond set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you will see the Beloved’s face upon it, in reflection of your own.

Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half-an-hour will hold out to you, to look upon yourself. When you are ready you will find it there, within your mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the thought to which you gave this half-an-hour, thankfully aware no time was ever better spent.

Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass, and understand the sinless light you see belongs to you; the loveliness you look on is your own. Count this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body’s eyes to see. And yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see.

Add further jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you today, by hourly repeating to yourself:

Let me remember I am one with God,
at one with the world and all within it,
and at one with my Self,
in everlasting holiness and peace.

________________

Now, it might seem a stretch for some to find similarities between the above text from A Course in Miracles and a song by the Queen of Rock’n’Roll, Tina Turner. But to my ears, mind and heart the similarities are there.

Tina was a practicing Nichiren Buddhist and Buddhism holds that reincarnation is part of the human/spiritual experience. Tina most resolutely explores reincarnation in her 1984 song “I Might Have Been Queen,” but she also does so in her later song “Whatever You Need,” which is about souls coming together in recognition over successive lifetimes.

These souls recognize that only love is ultimately real, and that the sacred source of all things (called “God” my many) is Love. Their ultimate identity is in this Love, a Love that illuminates the truth that we are all one. Moving through life with this truth and the illuminating vision it provides, ensures that, in the words of A Course in Miracles, “everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and heals.”

I don’t know about you, but I feel and see that energy of blessing and healing in the video for Tina’s “Whatever You Need.”

In what other lives have I known your kiss?
And what forgotten moments have I felt like this?
The way you touch me, I come undone
You know me more than anyone
Whatever you want

In what other lives have I touched your face?
And what words did we whisper
in a strange forbidden place?
To be with you, is to find myself
We’re two of a kind, you and I
I couldn’t love anyone else

You are my beginning, my end
You are my lover, my friend
In this life, in this time

Whatever you want, whatever you need
I will be right here waiting
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
I will be right here waiting, yeah, yeah, yeah

In what other lives, did I feel your skin?
And when exactly did I breathe you in?
Feel like I’ve known you for a thousand years
You’re so familiar to me and there is no fear

Watch the sun go down, yeah, yeah
My past and future in you are bound, oh yeah
I watch as time moves on, I’m alive and strong
And when I’m with you, there’s no right, no wrong

– “Whatever You Need”

Quote of the Day

Nolan Wells’ death is all over my timeline. I’m seeing mostly Black folks talking about it and saying this is a cautionary tale for why Black parents should side eye these kinds of friendships where their child is “the only Black kid” in white spaces. What looks like acceptance and belonging could end up being a trap.

Fourth of July. Mississippi. An island. Water. A cluster of white boys. One Black boy missing. Nobody bothered to report him missing. That combination of facts lands in the Black imagination with historical weight and triggers our collective nervous system.

Black people are not reacting in a vacuum. We carry a whole archive of similar stories. We know what water has meant. We know what “boys being boys” has covered. We know what “accident” has sometimes been asked to explain. We know how many Black deaths have become official shrugs because the living white witnesses were granted innocence before the dead Black youth was granted humanity.

Now, that does not mean we know what happened here. But it does mean we know why Black folk are suspicious.

Tommy J. Housman on Reactions to the “Defining Image” of Trump’s America

It’s being called “one of the most iconic photos of our time,” a future Pulitzer-winning photograph, and “the defining image” of Trump’s America.

Here’s what social commentator and media critic Tommy J. Housman has to say about Cheney Orr’s photo and the reactions it is generating.

Yesterday I posted a photograph of a Black woman sitting alone on a train surrounded by members of Patriot Front, a white nationalist and known hate organization that openly organized, promoted, live-streamed, and later claimed responsibility for the event. The post reached more than 80,000 people, generated over 21,000 engagements, and received more than 3,000 comments. What concerns me is how many people rushed to defend, excuse, minimize, or redirect attention away from an organization whose entire purpose is built around racial nationalism and exclusion. Instead of discussing why groups like this exist, why they are growing, or why Black Americans might find such imagery threatening, many commenters immediately began comparing it to unrelated crimes committed by random black individuals or openly expressing support for the organization itself. Completely ignoring the historical context of hate groups and what hate groups mean to Black people such as enslavement m, imprisonment, beating, rape, and death by lynching. Instead of acknowledging this history, people chose to laugh.

That should alarm every decent person in this country. Black Americans do not view organized groups of masked white nationalists through the lens of abstract political theory. They view them through the lens of slavery, lynching, segregation, racial terror, voter suppression, church bombings, and generations of organized efforts to intimidate and control Black people. What I saw in the comments was not thoughtful disagreement. I saw deflection, whataboutism, historical ignorance, and in some cases outright sympathy for a movement that defines itself through exclusion.

I saw similar reactions across multiple posts discussing the same event. That suggests a deeper problem than a handful of internet trolls. We have reached a point where large numbers of people seem more offended by criticism of a white nationalist organization than by the existence of the organization itself. Real strength is protecting people who are vulnerable. Real courage is standing against intimidation and hatred, not marching anonymously behind masks in a crowd. If thousands of Americans can look at a photograph of organized racial intimidation and see nothing wrong with it – or worse, defend it – we should all be asking ourselves what that says about the state of our country. Almost every comment and Laffey face was from a white man. Cowards.

On July 4th, Two Very Different Marches

This morning my friends Kathleen and Rita and I participated in a somber ritual of remembrance and call to action for all who have died in ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) detention.

Following is how the online community Humanizing Through Story described our gathering, one that was organized by the Minnesota chapter of the Sunrise Movement.

Today, July 4th, a funeral was held for the 52 people who died in ICE detention during the Trump administration. Hundreds of people rallied and carried caskets, one for each of the 52 victims. They crossed the Hennepin Avenue Bridge, marching in silence to the sound of songs led by The Singing Resistance. They marched to downtown Minneapolis, where they laid the caskets on the ground outside the U.S. Department of Justice building. There, they held a funeral service featuring eulogies, speeches, and songs honoring all the lives taken by ICE.

The 52 deaths represent only recorded accounts. This administration is actively trying to hide accusations of abuse and harm, and it recently issued a directive to stop recording deaths of immigrants who were recently released from custody. There have been multiple accounts of immigrants, including the elderly and those with mental health issues, being released by ICE in unfamiliar cities or during frigid winter temperatures, where they subsequently died. This number also does not account for other deaths’s involving ICE, such as those of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

There are endless reports of abuse, sexual assault, rape, torture, the withholding of food, contaminated water, the denial of medical care, and other inhumane conditions and treatment toward immigrants held in detention centers across the country. This protest was held not only to honor those who have died but also to raise awareness and call for an end to the inhumane treatment and detention of our neighbors.

Meanwhile, Melinda Fulton reports on a very different march that took place today in the nation’s capital.

I’m watching masked white nationalists march through Washington, D.C., on the Fourth of July carrying Confederate flags and “Reclaim America” banners, and I’m supposed to believe this has nothing to do with the man in the White House. I’m supposed to pretend this is just some fringe spectacle, disconnected from the political climate we’ve been living through for years.

But this is exactly what a Trump presidency looks like when you stop listening to the speeches and start paying attention to who feels empowered enough to march openly through the nation’s capital.

These aren’t random provocateurs looking for attention. They are members of Patriot Front, a white nationalist, neo fascist organization that openly promotes the idea of turning America into a white ethnostate. They chose to parade through Washington on the 250th anniversary of the United States because they believed that was the moment to make themselves seen.

Every time someone tells me that “MAGA is just about loving America,” I think about scenes like this. I think about the Confederate flags. The matching uniforms. The masks hiding their faces. The chants about “reclaiming” a country that never belonged exclusively to one race in the first place.

I think about years of rhetoric describing immigrants as “poisoning the blood” of the nation, warning about “invaders,” talking about “enemies within,” and constantly dividing Americans into “real Americans” and everyone else. Then I watch groups like Patriot Front step confidently into the streets, and I’m expected to believe there’s no connection.

MAGA Republicans are the reason I want change in this country. They want me to believe this is normal now. They want me to accept that open white nationalism is just another political viewpoint, that marching through the capital in masks with fascist slogans deserves the same respect as people peacefully demanding equal rights. I refuse. If this is what Trump’s America looks like in the streets, then I’m going to keep saying exactly what I see. Those are his people. This is his movement. And if you’re still defending him, you don’t get to act shocked when people inspired by that movement show up dressed for a racist parade on America’s birthday.

Matthew Remski on Historian Heather Cox Richardson’s “Really Superficial” Understanding of How to Fight Fascism

Says author and social commentator Matthew Remski . . .

So I’ve noticed that a lot of people adore Heather Cox Richardson as their politics whisperer, and I’ve wondered what the fuss was about. And so [I recently watched] a video she posted in the wake of the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America] wins in New York. She said it was a "40-minute grad seminar to stem the tide of misunderstanding about whether the Mamdani [winning] picks are communists." So the vibe was partly to chastise right wing influencers for their hysteria [and] partly to reassure centrist Democrats that things are still the same.

I haven’t watched much of her content or read her books which I’m sure are more nuanced. But I think it’s fair to take this primer video as a solid sample of what she wants to communicate about the definitions of capitalism, communism, fascism, and socialism to her one million plus YouTube subscribers.

So she said that she wanted to describe these systems as economic systems first. So if I hear an intention like that, I’ve got a way of quickly measuring where the person is coming from and whose interests they’re possibly serving. You just copy the transcript from YouTube, paste it into any document, and run some word searches.

Here are the words she never utters in a talk about economy: “capital,” “labor,” “manufacturing,” “union,” “strikes,” “wages,” “appropriation,” “expropriation,” “exploitation,” “surplus,” “inequality,” “struggle,” “reform,” “taxation,” “redistribution,” “socialized,” and “revolution.”

In other words, she’s not talking about economy at all. The closest she comes to defining capitalism is as a system in which we tend to honor the idea of private enterprise and private property. No capital as a social relation; no idea of money that expands through capturing labor powewr. If you listen carefully to this lecture, you’ll come away thinking that liberal democracy comes from American elites deciding altogether on a sensible regulatory regime and not through labor violence or ruling class fear of revolution that forced the New Deal and every other gain like blood from a stone.

So based on this alone, I’d humbly offer that if you care about how power works, how capitalism works; if you care about modern imperialism and neocolonialism; if you care about working people, inequality, and the perpetual love affair between capitalists and fascists, and how liberal democracies basically play the wedding march for them down the aisle of history, Richardson may not help you with any of that because these ideas are actively suppressed by the liberal point of view she comes from but which she also presents – and many other preople take – as rational, neutral, correcting misunderstandings. She’s just calling balls and strikes from her fair position, taking the view from nowhere.

And I get why people love her. I lived in New England for a bunch of years, and I’m sure she is – or could be – a kind and gracious neighbor, a professor you really liked; someone you feel warm about. But as a Facebook historian, she appears to be doing full time propaganda for the legacy Democrats. And it’s not going to help anyone understand how to fight fascism. It’s really superficial.
