I often think of the Siddiqi quote that “every border implies the violence required to maintain it,” and how one of the biggest tricks neoliberalism pulled off over the last 30 years is getting people to think the infrastructure of said maintenance could only ever be aimed outward or downward.

A hell of a photo by Lily Kepner of the Austin American-Statesman

A line of Texas state troopers faces the camera on the leafy campus of UT Austin. Behind them, a police prisoner-transport van stands with its back doors open as an arrested student protestor stands with several officers, including one with zip ties hanging from his belt. All around them are more state troopers, local police, and, further away, protesters and onlookers

Another trick is getting people to think Them would always mean Those People on the Other Side of the Border Line. Never Us. That’s a seriously blood chilling photo. 🥶🥶🥶
