All Black Lives Matter, Los Angeles June 2020

Last year, more Americans were killed for BEING Muslim than by a Muslim terrorist. Also re: terrorism, Americans are more likely to be killed by an abusive spouse than a jihadist. Xenophobia lives!

Our immigration system’s capacity for cruelty: we condone leveraging special needs children against their desperate parents in defense of a border. A line in the dirt.

Imagine being that ICE agent in Laredo... imagine spending your night following an ambulance carrying a sick child, standing outside her hospital roo mall night. What thoughts go through your ind during those hours? Imagine watching as nurses prepare a terrified post-op child to be transferred to a detention facility for unaccompanied minors alone, though her parents are nearby, as are family detention facilities. What goes through your mind as you escort her gurney out of the hospital? Is this just part of your job? Is it serving some grander goal? In the face of abject cruelty, how does your mind abstract from your actions? Blame it on the chain of command? Reduce the child to less than human? Is that how you cope with treating this family so inhumanely? How? How? I really can’t understand.

“Those who can withstand the battering ram for at least 90 minutes while also being “aesthetically pleasing” (on the US-facing side) have a shot at winning a lucrative piece of one of the US government’s largest infrastructure projects in decades.”

The Guardian is not fucking around with these headlines.

Right-wing populists often define “the people” in racial or nativist terms, specifically distinguishing them from foreigners and other out-groups who don’t share the correct “national character” — which, in Western countries, is often coded as white and Christian. And they claim that elites have sacrificed the people to open borders and globalism, often through institutions like the European Union. Left-wing populists, by contrast, tend to define “the people” in class terms and to rail against wealthy capitalist elites. Hugo Chávez, for instance, claimed that Venezuela’s poor and middle classes were being oppressed by the country’s wealthy elite and by international financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. But social scientists have found that populists, regardless of ideology, tend to do the same things once in power: undermine liberal-democratic institutions and centralize power in their own hands — often by claiming that checks on their power would prevent them from fully carrying out the will of the people.
