My thought on the moment is that he’s just a useful idiot being kept around, his information carefully curated, his health and cognitive decline managed by teams of professionals, in order to make obscene amounts of money for the world’s worst people, the human consequences be damned.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the Right Wing elites who thought they could use Hitler for their own advantage? They were the first people that Hitler murdered after he secured total power.

Hitler's NSDAP never gained the support of more than one-third of voters in free and fair elections! Just like far-right leaders today, Hitler came to power because of the collaboration of right-wing elites, who either wanted to "fight off the left" or thought they could play the far right.

What is so striking about tech billionaires like Musk and Bezos is that there is nothing there, no class, no grace, no humour, no empathy, no style, no wit, no depth, no charm. Empty avatars of materialist greed and techno-capitalist authoritarianism devoid of all meaning.

I will never in my life understand why people think it's acceptable for people to be locked up, maimed, tortured, and possibly killed all because they crossed the border without filling out the appropriate forms or have the right paperwork... That's what it boils down to.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

First they killed children and Republicans did nothing because they were not children. Now they’re killing adults and Republicans will do nothing because they are not adults.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now. Like / share if you agree.

BREAKING: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmarked cars with no uniforms or identification as law enforcement to abduct people, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they’re ICE for days afterwards.
