The cruelty really IS the point.
It’s meant to scare us all & stop resistance.
Seems to be having the opposite effect, even across the political spectrum.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.
He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.
The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.
ICE reportedly denied the request.
Unimaginable cruelty.

Fascism is just criminality with political power. It's all about enriching yourself and to hell with anyone else. Lying, hurting people, killing - doesn't matter. It's all about the grift and avoiding being caught.

With enough public encouragement, I might be inclined to blog the following:
The Trump campaign’s decision to not jettison Corey Lewandowski into the sun may have been a fatal mistake, and it makes getting rid of Noem vs. Stephen Miller much more complicated.

The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

It's not radical to think every vote should count.
It's not radical to think every constituency should matter.
It's not radical to think 34% of the vote is not a landslide.
It's not radical to want to vote for the party you truly support.
