Part (but far from all) of what's horrific here is: a woman weighing the consequences of speaking up about being sexually assaulted, because speaking up imposes burdens and costs (and so does not speaking up).

It is depressing. It also illustrates that it’s not enough to imprison the figurehead of authoritarian movements. Until the entire ecosystem that amplifies and cultivates fascism is uprooted, fascism will continue to sprout from it.

Since July 27, brave people have been occupying an ancient cottonwood tree to block the construction of Trump's border wall, which is destroying the region's ecology. This morning, Border Patrol raided the camp, arresting a number of people and killing the tree. Background: crimethinc.com/lochiel

The Atlantic did not fact-check their main subject though. Maybe it doesn't matter to the point here, but he's not a "lifelong Democrat" and they let him falsely make that claim without checking. Maybe the interesting thing is that people don't want to admit their past votes for Trump.

In response to this, the DeSantis administration releases a statement saying that they'd make this outrageous cage "even smaller if we could." The Department of Homeland Security's own Inspector General said it violated every detention standard and posed a significant danger to health and safety.
"At least ten million illegal aliens entered our country under the Biden administration. Florida decided to do something about it," Lanfranconi said. "The left-wing media wants to focus on a confinement area for violent criminal aliens who have proven they cannot remain peaceful while awaiting deportation. While it adheres to all federal standards for criminal confinement, we'd make it even smaller if we could."
