"Amazing. New CNN poll has Trump's approval on immigration absolutely tanking. It's down to 42-58. A 19-point net swing against him on this issue in just the last few months.

Curious what those who keep saying we're in the midst of a huge societal backlash to 1965 immigration law think of this."

"The measure was approved by a vote of 627-8, with one abstention, at the UCC’s 35th biennial General Synod, which began on Friday and continued through Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri. The resolution reaffirmed a prior resolution from the 31st synod, in 2017, 'On Becoming an Immigrant Welcoming Church.'”

"The administration sure is working HARD to avoid accountability, because they know the shit they’re doing is criminal, that there is a chance that someday this regime will not be in charge and the rule of law will return, 'just following orders' won’t cut it, and they know what they’re doing will disgrace their family names for generations to come."

"It is unbecoming of public officials and corrosive of the common good to speak of the deterrence value of 'alligators and pythons' at the Collier-Dade facility. Common decency requires that we remember the individuals being detained are fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters of distressed relatives."

"There is little doubt that as Americans learn more about what mass deportation actually entails, their opposition to it has grown. Intended in part to spur 'self-deportation,' cruel and draconian facilities like 'Alligator Alcatraz' might actually be compelling voters to leave the Republican tent."

"He noted that while the Chinese have internment camps for Uyghurs—whose treatment by China Secretary of State Marco Rubio has condemned—we learned of them through satellite imagery and hacked documents, not a CCP marketing campaign.

'They’re embarrassed by it,' he said. 'We sell merch.'”

"'“I think it’s the first time in human history a detention camp, a concentration camp, an internment camp is selling merch, so that’s pretty depraved,' Thomas Kennedy, a veteran immigration advocate and consultant for the Florida Immigration Coalition, told me."

"I believe bland coverage of Trump’s horrors has become a national sedative. We aren’t outraged about the eight people sent to South Sudan who then vanished. We now take for granted that hundreds of Venezuelans are being detained at a notorious prison in El Salvador know for inhumane conditions."

"Which makes being strong-willed all the more important. Also important is remembering that this is a wildly unstable situation and what happens next is at least partly up to us."

Solnit appends a salient reminder of what inevitably happens to cruel, overweening dictators and dictator wannabees, as their hubris blinds them and creates the conditions for their downfall.

"Will we soon all be as blasé as these reporters about potentially thousands of our neighbors being disappeared to countries where human rights are routinely violated?

I fear that we will. I fear that we have normalized evil."
