Detectiveguapo3 - Rebecca

I really, REALLY need people to stop focusing on whether or not any of the people deported to El Salvador committed any crimes. Nothing justifies being sent to a concentration camp. Nothing. And focusing on criminality at all just lays the foundation for denial and continued oppression in the future. We've seen this happen in the past. Romani people were just as targeted as Jewish people in the Holocaust. There were several places that successfully wiped out their entire Romani population at that time. After the fall of Nazi Germany, some Romani people were kept imprisoned BECAUSE they were supposedly imprisoned for crimes, not their ethnic background. But we all know how racial profiling and biases in the justice system lead to disproportionate targeting of racial minorities. The ethnic cleansing of Romani people is routinely erased from discussions of the Holocaust because they were already a group treated as being inherently criminal, and therefore deserving of being locked up. And they are still seen that way by white Europeans to this day. We see this exact same mindset with the way that many groups of immigrants are treated in the USA today.

The line needs to be drawn in black ink- human beings should never be treated like this. Nobody from anywhere, regardless of what they have or have not done, should be sent to that prison. Not Salvadorians, not immigrants to the US, not legal residents, not US citizens, not even genuine gang members. Nobody.

thinking about Jason never being the hero of his own story. he's a supporting character for piper and Percy and Leo and Apollo. his tragic final stand is part of Apollo's story. it's so fascinating actually because while Thalia thrives by and benefits from never being the main character, Jason gets failed by the gods and doomed by the narrative.

Did y'all know that the famous line "You are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires" isn't even a spoken line in the books? Kate never hears that; it's part of his inner monologue. Do y'all know how annoyed I was when reading the books and the line was not even spoken?
