General Discussion

was the lie we told ourselves (and tried to tell others) when the right picked up on the fact that many of the people who initiated the phrase "defund the police" meant precisely that - take all their money away.

When we say defund ICE - it means literally that - take all their money away. Once you take their money away, they no longer exist. I have no problem at all with that (unlike the "defund" the police - which most of us never meant literally and we had to twist ourselves into pretzels to try to explain away).
