This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.

It must also be said that the resistance of the broader US public to the lure of fascism in the 1930s was not due to any moral clarity but because they were relentlessly propagandized by FDR and allies to reject these ideas and embrace more liberal ones. They weren’t better people than we are.
I’d also like to add that we don’t have very many stories about fascist ideology here in the United States aside from 1930s “America First” movements when Confederates, Redeemers, the first and second Klan, Dixiecrats, and McCarthyism all have hallmarks of fascist thinking.
