This has bugged me for a while. These photos of US government folks at the CECOT prison are so evocative of a photo I saw in an exhibit in Dachau.
CAUTION: Photos at the link are deeply distressing, but I provide it if you don't want to take my word for it.

Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

NEW: AOC in Vegas.
Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥
“If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”
