"This rivals the family separation policy of the first Trump administration for sheer inhumanity. But it also harms Americans in very real ways. Who will want to study or come work here in this climate? Just one example, nearly 25% of practicing doctors in the United States are international medical graduates, demonstrates how this harms our own future prospects."
"We can make an educated guess. By February 11, NBC was reporting that Trump, who had promised mass deportations while on the campaign trail, wasn’t happy with the pace of removals. They reported that a person who was 'familiar with Trump’s thinking' said that 'It’s driving him nuts they’re not deporting more people.'”
"Why did ICE arrest a mechanical engineering student at the University of Alabama, a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, a recent graduate of Columbia with a green card, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School who came here after protesting for Ukraine, and students at Georgetown and Cornell? What prompted Secretary of State Marco Rubio to claim at least 300 student visas had been revoked?"

"They would perhaps contribute to a sense of agency, rather than powerlessness. Walter Lippman once lamented how the press was 'a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision.'

"The federal worker; the trans soldier; the cancer patient whose clinical trial was halted. Just as importantly, what if we stuck with them, after the news cycle has moved on? I think we’d find stories that surprise us—of tragedy and despair, certainly, but also of resilience and fortitude."

"Lately, as we live through this perilous moment for American democracy, I’ve been thinking about the protagonists in the stories we write. The tendency is to think of President Trump and others in his administration as the main characters in this drama. But what if we fixed more of our attention on the people living with the consequences of his policies?"

The Greater Cleveland Food Bank lost 20 truckloads—$2 million worth—of emergency food this week due to agent orange admin cuts. That’s a MILLION POUNDS of food GONE. This is either incompetence or deliberate cruelty.

“‘Ruthless, hateful, deeply racist and fundamentally violent ideology’ is a ‘grave threat to the world’, says former UN expert who resigned over UK, US complicity in Israel’s genocide”
Eric Lee states it pretty clearly
"If the U.S. gov't can go around the streets of this country, pick people up, throw them into the back of vans, drive them to detention centers 1000 miles away, that's it. That's the End of Democracy."
shame shame The Gleeful #Cruelty of the #WhiteHouse #X Account - Welcome to the #4chan administration. White House Comms Director states - “The arrests will continue.

Kristi Noem got all gussied up—
Apparently with fake eyelashes, hair extensions...
And a $50,000 Rolex watch
To stand in front of the prisoners locked up in a crowded El Salvador prison cell
and film her saber-rattling video shoot.
*ICE agents kidnap you and throw you into a cell*
You: "You can't do this! I'm a citizen!"
Fascist Thug: "We don't believe you."
You: "I'll prove it!"
Fascist Thug: "Really? To whom? You think your cellmates in El Salvador will care?"
The Trump administration sent a Venezuelan national with no criminal record to a Salvadoran megaprison based on an administrative error, according to The Miami Herald.
