I believe there are political event horizons in our history—moments where our actions, or inactions, help or hinder our chances for real systemic change. After Sandy Hook, when we didn't burn it all to the ground (metaphorically speaking), we made gun reform all but impossible. Politicians now know there is nothing too horrendous that we'd (metaphorically) burn down a (hypothetical) Wendy's about it. After George Floyd's murder, when we stopped marching because they [painted a street](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter_Plaza) and [cosplayed](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-and-off-the-avenue/the-embarrassment-of-democrats-wearing-kente-cloth-stoles) the Black diaspora, they knew we weren't serious about defunding the police. And they were right after all. This is that moment for ICE. If, even now, after the viral murder of Renee Nicole Good, members of popular culture aren't compelled to say the thing, then it's a wrap. Say the thing, motherfuckers. Seeing a lots of famously micro-step left-of-center white dudes getting real long in the tooth towards ICE suddenly. Which, fine, great-great-great. Love to see it. But come on Stephen Colbert. Let's get it poppin' Gruber. Say the thing. Call for ICE to be abolished. Finish the damn job. Because if it's unjustified death that riles you up. Boy, do we have some catching up to do. I don't ever mean to diminish anyone's oppressed identities. Just that, if 70 white people died in detention, if we learned that others were issued forced sterilizations, there'd be riots in the Hamptons. I'm just saying, these people died for us so we could have a tangerine during lockdown. No one came to save them. And now we're hunting them down like animals. And no one can do shit about it because we gave ICE far too much power and money. And for what? Abolish ICE. Say it motherfuckers. Say it.
