I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.

The autocrat's toadies destroy functioning governance and launch crisis after crisis in order to create a nation that runs on patronage in which he's the only one able to do anything for anyone.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Some folks on here get very mad when you criticize Democrats. But the ground they think they’re holding has fallen away completely. The writing is on the wall for our democracy if the party doesn’t change its approach (and leadership).

The Democrats’ lack of imagination and will to fight is staggering. If the other side is breaking the law, maybe some civil disobedience that actually disrupts the business of government is called for? Jeffries needs to go. Schumer needs to go. Pelosi and her allies like Cuellar too.
