I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.
people do understand that the nuremberg trials were largely show trials to distract from the fact that the US was poaching any high profile nazis that were beneficial to their cause & that denazification in the west sectors didn't really take off

May the ghost of Alex Pretti haunt ICE agents' every waking moment. May they hear noises that jerk them out of sleep, may objects fly around their homes, may his eyes loom large in all of the dreams. May they not know another night of sleep, drenched in their sweat. So mote it be.

On the one hand, who cares what I think? On the other hand I can’t stay silent. Silence feels like approval.
ICE is out of control. Immigrants are a key part of American life. Tariffs should only be used to encourage American production. This is all wrong.
That was murder, plain and simple.

not everything in the US is The Worst™️ and at times like this i'm so grateful to be reminded of it
Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.
But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.
The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

A message today from the prophet Isaiah:
"There will be no gloom for those who were in anguish....for the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian."
Let's go break some rods.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.
