A “Well, actually…” pinned comment on a horrible physical injury.

It’s so important we are accurate as fuck with our language when describing the horrible shit ICE is doing to us.
Part of her hand was not blown off. Her hand was split between her middle finger and pointer finger. This is still a severe and traumatic injury but again…. language and accuracy is important. DO NOT give MAGA the opportunity to damage our credibility by exaggerating. What truly happened to this woman is horrific enough.
It doesn’t hurt to be as accurate in our description as possible as information becomes available, because it shows to people who is being responsible and serious with their knowledge. But we shouldn’t expect anything from Chuds themselves except inventing a story to justify what happened regardless of the facts.
They’re working backwards from “The actions of ICE are good and correct” and they largely are deeply unserious in their replies when disagreeing with the facts of the matter. The narratives they spin are merely a front-facing excuse to justify their our-might-makes-right worldview. Just look at how some of them ran with an invented story about Pretti brandishing a gun at ICE.
The fascists want to assert racist and patriarchal violence upon the everyone (including in usually more subtle or unnoticed ways upon themselves, which keeps them in line) and anything they say is an excuse in service of this, so handle your interactions with them accordingly.

It’s so fucking exhausting
They're going to lie anyway, so make sure you're always painfully accurate!I’m sure they use the same rigorous tone policing when talking about Gaza

If anyone tries to downplay or well actually this, just pick up a hammer and ask them to put their hand on the table
