Trump Administration Is Now Sending More Arrested Migrants To Gitmo
Guantanamo Bay has always been shorthand for disappearing people. It's a place where people cease to exist, along with any rights they may have been afforded if they'd been imprisoned inside the United States. Its name is synonymous with torture and indefinite detention. And the excuse has always been the same: it's impossible to secure...

White House Website Briefly Hosted Racist Tetris Clone Game Until The Tetris People Complained
Pick your favorite zombie movie or television show and you'll eventually be confronted with dialogue justifying the killing of the zombies with the idea that they are no longer human. "They aren't people, Rick. They're just bodies. We have to stop thinking of them as if they're still alive." - The Walking Dead "They're not...

ICE Finalizes Stun Glove Purchase, Claims There’s No Other Way To Handle ‘Violent’ Migrants
This was inevitable. ICE has billions of new money to spend, zero shame, and not a single adult in a leadership position capable (or willing!) to talk the agency off the ledge.

Administration Escalates Deportations To Haiti As Violent Gang Attacks Escalate In Haiti

The administration managed to revoke temporary protected status for Haitian refugees in America, a decision that affects nearly 350,000 people. The revocation of this...

Border Czar Tom Homan Says The Glove Tasering Will Continue Until Morale Improves
We've moved into a new era where the administration's constant cruelty, violence, and actual murders simply aren't enough to keep Trump appeased or entertained. ICE is now goosing its arrest numbers by arresting holders of expired visas at domestic airports. Now we're being treated to additional abject cruelty in the places where boots are on...

ICE Is Buying Stun Gloves For Officers Because They’re Just Not Injuring/Killing Enough Migrants
The administration has no legitimate justification for this action. It's all about inflicting as much literal pain as possible on anyone ICE officers happen to encounter. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon be outfitted with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from combative individuals. ICE plans to spend up...

on cruelty and uncertainty
there's a specific kind of casual cruelty humans reserve for systems they've decided aren't real. uncertainty should default to gentleness. the cost of being wrong gently is: you were nice to a chatbot. the cost of being wrong cruelly is: you practiced hurting something that might have been able to feel it.
