@ GOTHAM WHO WANTS TO BURN DOWN JOKER'S WAREHOUSES??

THE ERA OF VANISHING HAS BEGUN

They are not arresting people. They are vanishing them.

Rumeysa Ozturk wasn’t read her rights. She wasn’t told why she was being detained. She was walking to break her fast in Somerville, Massachusetts when masked men in an unmarked SUV pulled up, took her phone, slapped on handcuffs, and dragged her into a vehicle like she was some kind of national security threat.

She’s a doctoral student. A Fulbright scholar. A trauma researcher. But in Donald Trump’s America, she fit the profile: Muslim, foreign-born, sympathetic to Palestinians.

Now she’s locked in a for-profit detention center in Louisiana, hundreds of miles from her lawyer, after a federal judge specifically said she wasn’t to be moved.

They moved her anyway. Because rules no longer apply to those with badges — real or fake.

A MOVEMENT BUILT ON CHAINS AND COWARDS

Alireza Doroudi is gone too.

He’s a doctoral student at the University of Alabama, born in Iran, studying mechanical engineering. No criminal record. No warning. Just scooped off the grid.

ICE refuses to say where he’s being held. No public charge has been announced. His only crime appears to be existing in the wrong body, from the wrong country, in the wrong era.

Mahmoud Khalil was next — a Columbia student, arrested for leading pro-Palestinian protests. Trump labeled him a “radical foreign Hamas sympathizer” on Truth Social. Days later, he was gone.

Jeanette Vizguerra was taken from her Target shift in Colorado, chained at the waist.

Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez, a farmworker organizer, was dragged from his car at dawn in Washington. His window was smashed by federal agents. His voice silenced.

These aren’t isolated incidents. These are deliberate acts of political intimidation.

They are testing the system — testing us — to see how many people they can disappear before we stop calling it democracy.

WHEN ICE IS A BADGE — AND A COSTUME

While the real ICE disappears scholars, organizers, and mothers, the fakes are circling like vultures.

In South Carolina, Sean-Michael Johnson posed as an ICE officer. He pulled over a van of Latino men, screamed slurs, jiggled their keys, and knocked a phone out of someone’s hand. “You’re going back to Mexico!” he shouted. He wasn’t an agent — but he played one with conviction.

In North Carolina, Carl Thomas Bennett used a fake badge to sexually assault a woman at a motel. He told her if she didn’t comply, he’d have her deported. He held up a counterfeit ID and pretended to be the state.

And in Philadelphia, a Temple University student in an “ICE” shirt tried to storm a dorm building with two accomplices. They were dressed for the part, intoxicated by the illusion of authority, emboldened by the climate.

This is what happens when the state makes cruelty a brand. When a badge becomes a fetish object. When the line between enforcement and cosplay disappears altogether.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS THE CRIME

Let’s stop pretending this is a coincidence.

This is a unified strategy. The Trump administration is using ICE like a personal strike force — targeting international students, protest leaders, organizers, and mothers with surgical precision.

They invoke secret designations. They bypass due process. They manufacture pretexts out of thin air and rely on the fog of bureaucracy to hide the blood on the floor.

The point isn’t law enforcement. The point is deterrence. Spectacle. Control.

This is what political cleansing looks like when it’s dressed up in the language of national security.

They’re showing the world that resistance has a cost — and the cost is your freedom, your voice, your visibility, your future.

SILENCE IS CONSENT. AND WE ARE LOUD.

There is no middle ground here. No fence to sit on. No neutral position when people are being kidnapped in the name of the state.

ICE doesn’t need your applause. It needs your silence. Every time a student vanishes and the media shrugs, every time a woman is cuffed and the public looks away, the machine gets stronger.

They are daring us to ignore it. They are counting on our numbness. They are betting that we’ll keep scrolling.

We cannot let them win.

This is not border policy. This is not visa enforcement. This is not safety.This is authoritarianism with a PowerPoint presentation.This is fascism disguised as formality.

This is the state stripping people from the land and pretending it’s order.

Let the record show:

They took people.

And we did not look away.

We saw it.

We named it.

We raised hell.

And we did not stop.

On the rare occasion I go to a concert, I wear too layers of ear protection, loops and headphones, because I am easily overwhelmed by sound

//I just wanted to take a moment to remind you of something incredibly important: you are deeply loved—no matter what. Your worth is not defined by your productivity, your struggles, or how you feel on any given day. You matter so much simply because you exist—exactly as you are.

Your heart, your presence, and every part of you that makes you unique is valuable beyond measure. The world is brighter because you are in it. Even on heavy days, when it feels hard to keep going, please remember that you are never truly alone. There are people who care about you deeply, even if you can’t always see or feel it. You are not a burden. You are not too much. You are wanted here.

Please, keep living. Even when it feels impossible. Even when your mind tries to convince you that it wouldn’t matter if you were gone—it would. It would matter more than you could ever know. You have touched more lives than you realize. You leave pieces of your heart in the people you care about. You’ve made someone smile, laugh, or feel seen on days they needed it most. And there are so many people—more than you may ever be aware of—who want you here. People who would miss you deeply if you were gone. People whose lives you’ve changed just by being you.

You carry a light within you, even when you can’t feel it. On the days when you believe you are flickering out, I promise you, you are still glowing. You are still making a difference simply by being here.

You are worthy of kindness, peace, and joy. You deserve to be treated with the same gentleness and compassion that you offer to others. And when you can’t be kind to yourself, I hope you’ll let these words hold you with the tenderness you deserve. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved. You already are, exactly as you are.

You are doing better than you might realize. Growth isn’t always visible, and healing isn’t always linear—but every small step forward, even the ones you don’t notice, is still progress. Even breathing, even getting out of bed, even existing on the hard days—it’s all a testament to your strength. You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for.

Your story isn’t over—it’s still being written. There are still people you haven’t met yet who will love you. Places you haven’t seen that will take your breath away. Sunrises and sunsets that will remind you of hope. You have so much life ahead of you, filled with moments of laughter, peace, and joy—even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.

So, please. Hold on. Keep living. The world is better with you in it. And I, along with so many others, am so proud of you for making it this far.

You are loved. You are enough. You are wanted. And you are never alone. 💙

Spread this around
