In recent days, fascist Republican state governors and genuine pieces of garbage Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott have been engaged in a bit of light human trafficking, for funsies.

Abbot even decided to get his laughs on Christmas Day.

It’s like this: the most vulnerable people in our country are asylum seekers and immigrants fleeing political and economic upheavals, many of which we—by which I mean our nation and our economic and political structures—helped cause.

Our country’s policies toward these people once they arrive here are broken and cruel and unjust, leaning deeply into our blameless society’s supremacist foundational lies; lies that insist some people simply do not matter.

DeSantis and Abbott and the fascists who support them have a big problem with these policies, to wit: they aren’t nearly cruel or broken *enough,* and they have recently seen disturbing signs that these policies might become marginally less cruel and broken and unjust.

As it happens, there are people here in this country who actually believe our policies should be more open, welcoming, and accommodating; who even believe we share some collective responsibility for creating a world in which we enjoy stability and wealth from policies that have created instability and collapse elsewhere, who want to make our policies less harsh, more just, less broken; who are, as a result, opposed to the current direction, and say so, and some even do something about it.
