[The Philadelphia Inquirer]: When this is over, U.S. rights abusers must be tried for crimes against humanity. By Will Bunch April 13, 2025
Escalating reports of human rights crimes from Kristi Noem's propaganda to ICE cruelty must be wiped clean with justice.

"I want to know who these people are, because they are wantonly committing human rights violations in my name and yours. Because when all this nonsense is over — and I swear that one day it will be, at the ballot box or in the streets or by any means necessary, even though I might not live to see it — I want more than just people feeling ashamed of their role in this spree of inhumanity.
I want justice."
@jeffmcneill @jackhutton Exactly.
"You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
"once the State of Israel was allowed to genocide Gaza humanity left the planet" - all that was holy
Kristi Noem is mean and cruel to hide her stupidity.
This is the really telling bit. At the moment, those people still know, somewhere inside, that this is wrong.
But I fear there will come a time when they feel entirely free to show their faces.
@jackhutton People didn't work this out in 1967? Or in the Poll Tax riots of 1992?
Or on 2021/01/06? No, actually the prosecutions there were considerably aided by the anti-mask rhetoric of the instigators. Counter-point.
That was my first take. They know what they are doing is abhorrent.
But they are doing it anyway.
It won't. As soon as people like this are turfed out, we all breathe a sigh of relief and move on. "Move on" becomes our ideology. (C.f. Guantanamo Bay.)
That's why we keep ending up here again.
@jackhutton I want to know how paying $6 million to another country to hold 300 prisoners is “America First”.
Please understand I’m not advocating for profiting from locking people up. That’s disgusting, I’m just saying that if this administration was really about America first wouldn’t we be paying American trades people to build prisons in America and paying American people to work in those prisons, and American businesses to feed the people in the prisons ?
Our taxpayers can give $6 million to another country to make money off prisoners from America? How is this America first?
@BLTpizza @jackhutton I also suspect it’s money laundering. I live in New Hampshire and Governor Sununu made a big show about shipping 300 troops down to the southern border a couple years ago.
They were sent for six months but the budget line item for it was outrageous. He never even tried to justify the ridiculously large amount. And I know the soldiers who were sent didn’t get paid a proportionate amount to what the taxpayers were charged.
It’s a grift for all of them. And yes, absolutely a threatening intimidation tactic.
I've been saying this too. Other countries are using the US to launder money, and/or the US is using other countries to launder money. It's a two-way grift street. The US response to Ukraine and to Israel are proof enough for me.
@jackhutton
Does the author realise that human rights have basically no legal standing in the USA?
Yeah I know it's ironic, but the topic the US diplomats liked to use to irritate the "bad guys" is not the law in the USA.
Now civil right violations have been traditionally a civil issue, basically PD are used to pay for breaking your civil rights.
If Americans want this to end in their lifetime they are going to do a lot more than they are doing now. And quickly.
Without more overt action now, Trump will ensure there are no mid-terms.
18 months to save a country, at most, maybe less.
Americans also need to consider that if Trump succeeds in dismantling Democracy now, whoever follows him may be even worse.
That's a big ask for a country that was founded on colonization, genocide and white supremacy, that continues to this day, btw.
Agreed
But short of a failed attempt to annex planet followed by unconditional surrender, this will end with bloated orangutan's state funeral while defenders of the orthodoxy urge us to not speak ill of the dead
Like cops & clergy, politicians believe public shares their glorified view of their stations & tarnishing that image will damage society more than any crime committed
But public doesn't share their delusions & these "look ahead" decrees corrode what they seek to preserve
@jackhutton Don't look to America's other right-wing party for justice. If the Democrats are ever in a position to bring these people to justice, you are going to hear a lot about "healing" and "moving forward" etc. Look at how the Obama administration passed on charging anyone for the crimes committed in Iraq.
Those in power will never do anything that sets a precedent for holding powerful people accountable for their crimes because they know it will come back to bite them.
This is why it's important to get & keep evidence.
The lack of evidence was how IG Farben skated on its Nuremberg charges.
1. Get depositions by witnesses
2. Copies of documentation
3. Examples of public corruption
4. Money laundering records
5. Lists of assets stolen or forcibly forfeited
6. Names & DNA of perpetrators so they can't hide in South America
7. Names of donors, quislings, & collaborators who can be convinced to flip and testify
Build a case against the GOP.
@jackhutton I wonder if Obama ever thinks about what an abject moral and leadership failure it was to say "we tortured some folks" and then let the war criminals off with a tepid scolding.
I sure do.
@jackhutton This picture always triggers me.
Why is there a front row of people shirts off but the others are not?
This inhuman vision is staged to make anyone believe that this is okay. That they deserve to be trated like this without a chance of due process.
This is insanity.
I don't want Kristi Noem jailed.
Costs money.
I don't want Kristi Noem executed.
Costs money.
I want her tossed into a stone pit that she can't climb out of.
Then I want 20 starving dogs released in.
@jackhutton I really wish it would happen, but it's not. Obama didn't even do anything to the torture people during GWB.
Hell, we can't even get John Yoo's car keyed in Berkeley.
