The War on Terror, esp under Bush & Obama, was an effort at creating ungoverned spaces where killing specific kinds of proposed subhumans (eg Arabs) didn’t trigger rule of law or human rights concerns. MAGA is simply expanding these spaces stateside to a new proposed subhuman: “the brown immigrant”

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why.

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.
1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.
A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

One of the biggest achievements of the attack on “wokeness” (a piece of purely far-right framing) was that it made a lot of people have contempt for the demographics who were giving the earliest warnings of what Musk was up to. It’s hard to listen to those who you don’t consider to be fully human.

The weaponisation of free speech by reactionaries has been incredibly successful and core to the mainstreaming of their ideas
It's shocking so many fell for the idea that power doesn't matter when it comes to it
It should be obvious that free speech without equal access to it is undemocratic
