ICE is feeding Muslim detainees pork at its Krome detention center in Miami and its chaplain dismisses this basic, deliberate dignity violation by saying “it is what it is.”

Facebook just published an announcement this afternoon: "Today we are taking action against Facebook Pages, Groups and Instagram accounts tied to offline anarchist groups that support violent acts amidst protests, US-based militia organizations and QAnon."
PNWYLF, IGD News, and Crimethinc's pages are all down on facebook already. Instagrams not yet effected, but stay tuned.
The absurd and intentional association of anarchists with "US-based militia organizations and QAnon" is a dangerous and misleading attempt to establish a narrative that will justify further censorship and repression.

In banning anarchist accounts they define as "violent," Facebook is falling in lockstep with Donald Trump—putting the pieces in place to ensure that the police and Federal forces have a free hand to employ violence against civilians without consequence. …

It's always important to remind that if this images had come from a developing country, the American public would be outraged and there would be talks to sanction the brutal government perpetrating this repression on protesters, to say the least.

Crimethincs Statement on Facebooks ban. Repost far and wide.
The definition of violence is not neutral. The way Facebook defines it, it is legitimate for police to kill a thousand people per year while kidnapping and imprisoning millions—but it is unconscionable "violence" to toss a tear gas canister back to the police who shot it.
