the predictable results of a bunch of Haitians immigrating to live in a small Pennsylvania town:
1) the town gets somewhat more Haitian
2) the Haitians get dramatically more Pennsylvanian

Trump is now smearing Haitians in the small town of Charleroi, PA in truly vile terms.
But the town manager tells me everything Trump is saying is a lie:
*Haitians aren't taking Americans' jobs
*No 2000% population increase
*No uptick in crime

We talk a lot about Trump's role in accelerating violent fascism among the right but I firmly believe that a state that willingly murders someone they know to be innocent such as in this case is signalling that they are willing to murder any of us as long as there's some sort of legal process for it
MO Supreme Court denied Marcellus Williams’ request to halt his execution. Governor Parson has also declined to intervene. As of right now, the State of Missouri plans to murder an innocent man at 6pm tomorrow, Sept. 24th. It’s a textbook case for eliminating the death penalty. This is just so sad.

I don’t care that it’s old news, I don’t care that his supporters don’t care, I don’t care that this is just how he talks. A presidential candidate saying that people should go to jail for their opinions about his political allies should be a five-alarm fire in the discourse.
