As Timothy Snyder says, evil is at our door now, at the door of all Americans, knocking and being welcomed in:
"Individuals associated with the federal government have, in defiance of a court order and without a trial or any form of due process, deported hundreds of people from the territory of the United States to El Salvador, where they will be held indefinitely in a concentration camp."

"You do not know who was on those two planes to El Salvador. The individuals who arranged the deportation claim that the deportees were 'foreign alien terrorists,' but we have no way of knowing whether this is true. They also claim that they were 'monsters,' which is not true. We do not know the names of the human beings who were deported."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"Anyone can be dehumanized, portrayed as a 'monster,' and the dehumanization proceeds from the humiliation of the body. If you took one of these deportees, gave him a certain haircut, and put him in a suit, he would look like a cabinet member. If you take a cabinet member, shave off his hair, put him in a prison jumpsuit, chain his hands, and then put him between two masked men who frogwalk him to a deportation plane, he would like like a criminal."
"The photos and videos of humans beings to whom this is done are dehumanizing, and deliberately so. …
This deportation was planned as a political spectacle. The deportees were carefully chosen, as was the language used to describe them. The messaging was obviously coordinated in advance. And the entire humiliating procedure was carried out before cameras that were already in place."
But my 401(k)!

As Brian Stelter notes, Dartmouth political science professor characterizes the video of Trump goons deporting those they rounded up and sent to El Salvador as follows:
"Truly fascist propaganda."

@wdlindsy In order to deport the Venezuelans, the Trump regime used some weird law that dates all the way back to 1798, a time of slavery and racism. Surprising? I think not!
