Human beings are creatures who can describe their actions at various levels. Elizabeth Anscombe has famously introduced the example of a man who moves his arm, to pump water, to poison the inhabitants of a house, to overthrow a regime, to bring peace.* You can play with this case, or others, to create all kinds […]
Despite all the flakiness and back and forth Trump’s actions have a unified purpose. Like the Democrats, but even more so, they disproportionately benefit the rich. (We’ll leave aside the pandemic response, which is complicated and an emergency.) This table is older, and based on the House version of Trump’s budget and tariffs, but should […]

Let’s get this out of the way: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is nothing like the Sturmabteilung, a.k.a. Hitler’s Brownshirts. Your main clue is right there in the name. The Brownshirts wore brown shirts. And pants, coats, hats, insignia, etc. They had an actual uniform that they wore like brand ambassadors for authoritarian paramilitary violence.
ICE? Not so much. No official uniform, no clear identification, nothing that says, “I am a recognized member of a government agency, and what I am doing is legal.” Instead, they go for that “Target clearance rack meets SWAT cosplay” vibe: a tactical vest you can buy on Amazon, maybe an old baseball cap, and a face mask they want you to know isn’t there for any health-related reasons. That’s not a uniform. You can tell because people have easily copied the look to impersonate ICE numerous times in the past to brutalize or rob immigrants, knowing that it’s virtually impossible to tell apart government agents and straight-up criminals in wraparound glasses.
