They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

"In the days following the event, the woman says she hasn’t been able to sleep, is in physical pain from the way she was handled by the agents, and keeps reliving what happened. “The way I was treated left me feeling traumatized, humiliated, degraded, and unheard.”"
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Given the way white conservative lawlessness forms a *defining feature* of what has been called democracy in the U.S., something we desperately need coming out of this current crisis is a body of history more directly critical of the state in the U.S., esp pre-1960s.
