Cuban Americans in power don’t yet realize that Cubans are the primary victims of third-country removal. Hell, a certain Cuban American former senator is rubber-stamping it! They might think their proximity to whiteness will protect them from this white supremacist government. It will not.

Two most important facts: 1) since Trump became President, attacks on Ukraine have grown substantially in volume and scale. 2) Since Trump became President the US has committed zero (yes, zero) new dollars to support Ukraine.

Just a note about USA Today: They are reporting on the upcoming No Kings protests, listing state by state, no paywalls. Here's Florida, for example: www.usatoday.com/story/news/2... Now that the TV nets are pretty much cowed, what we used to call the "McNews" might be crucial for getting info.

The irony of Jews dealing with Antisemitism & Muslims dealing with Islamophobia is that Republicans hate ALL of us. They *pretend* to oppose antisemitism because it happens to be slightly more politically advantageous at the moment (plus their End Times obsession), but they’ll come for us as well.

Great message: Respect for human rights and international law are foundations of international peace and order. I fear that those who should get the message won't. But, it remains true nonetheless and their deafness to it is why they are, in the end, enemies of peace.

This is so dangerous! President Trump is deliberately inciting race hatred against an ethnic minority, calling on the people of Minnesota to "fight back" against "Somali immigrants." This must be a terrifying moment for the Somali community (who are overwhelmingly US citizens).

ICE appears to be using the parking lot of the Roxbury warehouse for processing and brief detention, and at least once appears to have taken people inside. But also, read this inside look from a federal contractor about how everyone knew the warehouse plan was insane but Miller demanded inhumanity.
NPR spoke to an official at a government contractor whose company was approached to convert several of the warehouses into ICE facilities. He spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from the government.

"No one that we spoke to at DHS was for this idea whatsoever. The deputy director told us point-blank that they had pushed back very hard on it. Everybody knew warehouses are horrible places to put people," he says.

At a meeting with a deputy director at DHS, he says, his company proposed an alternative: FEMA-style camps in Texas that would be more humane.

He says that idea was swiftly shot down. While White House adviser Stephen Miller was not at the meeting, they were told that this was not what Miller wanted.

The contractor says his understanding from that meeting was that "Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted."

"Steve Miller certainly seemed to make that point to everyone that he wanted it to be cruel. This was what Miller had stated to the DHS at that time, to the DHS director and deputy director. What surprised me was just how adamant the people were that it was going to happen. Damn the consequences. I would say in 25 years of working with the U.S. government, I've never been in that position before."
