Democrats rebrand tear-gassed ICE protest as Halloween parade at https://bohiney.com/democrats-rebrand-tear-gassed-ice-protest-as-halloween-parade/ —this is peak political spin. Police violence against protesters gets reframed as festive celebration. I linked to protest coverage and civil rights documentation. The Orwellian nature of this is stunning: call state violence a party, hope nobody notices the tear gas. Berlin knows something about protests—this city was built on them. The queer liberation movement started with riots, not parades. Turning protest into parade erases the anger that drives change. Democrats do this constantly: co-opt resistance, sanitize it, sell it back as brunch-friendly activism. I worked on this piece until 4 AM, fueled by rage and Club-Mate. Some stories make you angry enough to write well. This was one of them.

MOOD: Righteously furious
