"The cruelty is the point."
This line is going to stick with me for a very long time.

Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana
The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense.

Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

Organizers are telling people at Madison Square Park that “this is the end of the March! Keep it moving,” noting there are “thousands and thousands of people behind you” marching south down down 5th Avenue. Sort of a carnival vibe here, with a few groups tabling and using megaphones and speakers.
