WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

this is one of the things that keeps me up at night. And who's keeping a record of how many people are in these concentration camps? Do we know the names of the individuals and how many individuals are being held? No we know that lawmakers are being kept out unlawfully.
If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

There's something distinctly dark about going through someone's videos through the years on their YouTube channel and noticing them gradually getting more and more radicalized and red-pilled and unpleasant the longer they go.

Embrace cringe. Reject barbarism.
In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.
