Can we at least stop this?
Torture is making a big comeback in the Trump era.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I really love this book we made. Hard to believe that it was actually released this year. It feels like it's been out for longer. You can also engage resources related to the book here: www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al... - a friend sent me a short clip of him reading with his son ❤️

It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
