"I do think there’s something really important to say about that, which is people never want to think that the camps they’re doing, that their country is doing, are like those other camps. ...

What Trump is doing that is new is he is externalizing that violence, right? That stuff that was kind of hidden before."

"Trump is seizing the tools that he’s been left. And he and his allies are working together to do the purging of people of color. The purging of anyone that’s deemed the outsider or the foreigner. It has been weaponized into this much, much more dangerous state."

"And with the number of detention beds in terms of expansions and the warehousing, the potential for this, we’re really looking at stuff on the scale of the concentration camp systems that most people have heard of.”

Concentration camps? Someone else does that kind of thing — not us Americans, especially not us white American Christians who voted in a majority for Trump 3 times.

"As part of its strategy of arresting and warehousing immigrants in abhorrent conditions which are leading to illness and even death, the Trump administration is grabbing up pregnant and unaccompanied migrant children from across the country and shipping them off to Texas so that they can’t get safe and legal abortions — and where they also don’t get adequate medical care."

The Trump Administration is Trafficking Pregnant Children to Texas So They Can't Get Abortions

At least half of these unaccompanied migrant kids are rape victims, and all are being denied adequate medical care for high-risk pregnancies in a state with sky-high maternal mortality rates.

Throughline by Jill Filipovic

"This is an administration rule: If an undocumented child is pregnant, she goes to a single South Texas shelter in San Benito, where abortion is outlawed and where she will be hours away from the large hospitals that have the kind of specialized obstetric care that pregnant girls need."

"The girls are being sent to Texas specifically because Texas bans abortion, and moving them there means that they won’t be able to end their pregnancies. …

The directive came from Angie Salazar, the director of refugee resettlement, but was pulled directly from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 plan."

"While the Trump administration has since drawn down its deployment of agents to Minneapolis, the people who live here don’t feel as though things have changed. One Uber driver I spoke to—a Somali American with U.S. citizenship—said he’d been pulled over three times since the killing [of Alex Pretti]."

At the Spot Where Alex Pretti Was Killed

“Any righteous person would have done the same.”

The Bulwark

"Each time, an ICE agent claimed he looked like someone they’d flagged as being in the country illegally. They searched his car even after he produced papers; he now doesn’t drive without them. In one instance, he was held for 40 minutes before they let him go. In another, a customer sat in the backseat as the interrogation took place."

"The first reason that Trumpism will not end with Trump is that the core of Trumpism is fascism…and the GOP as a whole has demonstrated that it loves fascism, with or without Trump.

Fascism is a circular project; hatred of marginalized people is used to justify authoritarianism, and then authoritarianism is used to pursue violent assaults on marginalized people."

Defeating Trump Isn’t Enough

The Supreme Court tariff decision is not much reason to cheer.

"Antiseptic judicial rhetoric cannot do justice to what is happening. Across the interior of the United States, agents of the federal government—masked, anonymous, armed with military weapons, operating from unmarked vehicles, acting without warrants of any kind—are seizing persons for civil immigration violations and imprisoning them without any semblance of due process."

Judge Rebukes Masked ICE Arrests as ‘Secret-Policing’ Regime (1)

A federal judge excoriated immigration agents for making arrests while wearing masks that conceal their identities in a scathing opinion that references a “regime of secret policing” and mask-wearing by Ku Klux Klan members.
