"Every disturbing news report about a wrongful deportation or military-style raid of an apartment building should come as a reminder that the US government is using its prosecutorial discretion—it is *choosing*—to normalize casual cruelty and overt racism."
A year of hell for immigrants
In the first Trump administration, cruelty was the point. Now, it is the norm.

Jessica: Trump doesn't have the same issues that Joe Biden did. He doesn't have a supply chain problem. He doesn't have a global health pandemic. He's just setting our economy on fire and not in a good way. Like the dumpster fire way

7/ LaTosha Almond was sent home despite having an open bedsore on her lower back.
Her mother described it as as large as a dinner plate, so deep that it showed bone. “It was pouring out yellow and gray pus,” she said.

It gets worse. Trump also says straight out that an invasion of Venezuela "on land" is coming and says he'd expand all this to Mexico and Colombia. Incredibly, no one even bothers pointing out anymore that he is claiming authority to do all of this without Congress:
