When I was 11, on 17th Nov 1989, in Czechoslovakia, my father was watching the evening news on our (black and white) TV, as usual.

There was a protest and the state media was reporting on it. When the reporter said, “our camera broke down and we can only show black and white pictures”, my father IMMEDIATELY jumped up and angrily said, “that’s bs, you don’t want to show how they [the protesting students] got beaten up [by the police]!”

This was an interesting life lesson. So yeah, sure, technical difficulties…

Yeah, your tech is now under the control of Donald Trump. That’s the issue.

I was going to suggest using pro-ICE rhetoric dripping with over the top sarcasm, but there are too many sufficiently smart pro-ICE people who’d see through it and too many anti-ICE who might have trouble discerning it. And then there’s the issue of getting the tone right in a stressful and dangerous situation.
