When somebody is harmed by police or ICE or whatever thugs this awful wave of fascism unleashes on us, and when you hear that that person deserved it, or that the harm just sort of magically •happened• but nobody •did• it, ask:
“Says who? How do we know?”
“•Who• caused the harm? Does the language the police are using hide the actor?”
“Did that story come from anyone beside a cop?”
“Could they have made this up? Does it sound like all the other stories we now •know• they just made up?”
“Are the reporters who brought me this news asking •any• of these questions? Or do I have to do it all myself?”
Believe with caution.
