on ICE

I just can't believe that something like ICE exists, in our era. Being Jewish, I grew up knowing about the Holocaust and Good Germans and I've been to Buchenwald and seen just how thin the veneer of "we didn't know" really is. Nor am I under any delusions about the ethics of the average American.

Still. The part of me that is, against all evidence to the contrary, an optimist about the behaviour of collective groups of humans just can't fathom how easily people swallow the concept of a state-funded organization routinely carrying out massive physical, emotional, and sexual abuse of children. The more I read, the more I want to vomit.

In other news, some shitheads bombed an Indian restaurant in Mississauga with an IED, because we aren't immune from it up here either. My handful of friends there have all checked in safely, and fortunately no one was killed. There were two parties going on, at least one for children. Suspects still on the lam. Cops aren't ruling out a hate crime or terrorism. Light-skinned suspects. I won't draw any conclusions at this juncture but you can probably guess what I'm thinking.
