  • They are already kidnapping innocent people in the street and disappearing them for life imprisonment with no chance of parole in El Salvador. There’s no due process, not even any consideration of evidence. They’ll kidnap whoever they want to. When their victim’s innocence is pointed out, ICE say there’s nothing they can do to get them back. Those innocent people just have to work as slaves in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives, even when known to be innocent, and even when American. Now these Nazis are ramping up their concentration camp program and will not hesitate to disappear innocent people to secret camps in the USA. No one is safe. This is the time to start fighting.



















  • I think there have been societies with genuine protections for free speech, and even in the USA there have been better times and worse. So I wouldn’t say that shutting down free speech is “what we are as a species.” As a species we have many impulses to be hostile to those we disagree with, but we also have the ability to see past these and to build societal systems that protect people’s right to speak freely. It’s up to us whether we pursue the latter or give up.
