Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

So now, rather than deport migrants, we’re going to hold them indefinitely in concentration camps in Guantanamo.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.
"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

Second try the charm?
Frontier Airlines proposes to buy Spirit Airlines again.
“The materials, which are based on Spirit's bankruptcy court filings, also demonstrate that Spirit's standalone plan will likely result in an unprofitable airline with a high debt load and limited likelihood of success.”

So it wasn’t just Black History Month that Trump wanted wiped out. If you’re anything but white and male you’re a non-person in New America.

As with things you become accustomed to, I usually don’t give it a second thought. But I’ve noticed it a lot more the last couple of weeks.

Approval for Trump 2.0 is enjoying a higher honeymoon than in 2016 but he is still historically unpopular.
He has by a good margin the worst honeymoon approval of any president on record, just not counting Trump 1.0.

What made the exhibit and these cartoons especially tragic, of course, is that we - but not the people of the time - know what the ultimate consequences were.
Unable to immigrate to a place of refuge, millions perished a few years later in the Holocaust.

A few years ago, I got to see an amazing exhibit at the Center for Jewish History on the last time America shut its door to immigration.
Especially striking were cartoons from the period. I finally went back & dug some of them up because they seem to speak equally to our age. A short thread 🧵
