Unpacking the moral line we should all agree on — and how far too many are cheering it on. I open with a blunt question: are we really surprised a regime’s “private army” would use children as bait — and that some people applaud it? From there, I connect today’s tactics to ugly American precedents, the personal gut-punch of seeing my own kids in those faces, and a warning about how fascist machines always find a new enemy — eventually, you.

Should we be really surprised that a private army under the command of potentially the world's biggest trafficker, is now using kids as bait to lure their parents and then deport them?
When you hear things like that, it doesn't really shock you, does it? The current occupant of the White House and many of his billionaire buddies have long been alleged to be involved in these sorts of activities. And regardless of whether that gets proven out in court, we should be at a place in society where we can all come to an agreement. Say, using kids as bait to lure their parents and then disappear. Those kids and those parents is a level of evil that is beyond anything that we should be tolerating.

You would be the same type of people who would be turning in runaway slaves to the slave catchers. You would be the same type of people who would've ratted out, Anne Frank, to the Nazis. There is no difference.
And in fact, when we look at this regime's private army, that is storming cities and breaking down doors, abducting children and trotting out grand elderly people in their underwear in the middle of the winter, every single one of those actions has its roots.
In American history, this is a uniquely American practice. They're using the same playbook that the slave catchers used against black people. Now it's being visited on every American's doors.

While a portion of you might be saying, well, you have nothing to worry about if you're a citizen. We know that that's clearly not the case. It's now well documented that citizens and legal residents are being caught up in these gestapo slash slave catcher tactics.
And when we consider all of this, if you aren't moved to at least consider how wrong it is, you should be questioning your own humanity. And I'm sure that the people who think that there's nothing wrong with this and everything about this is normal, are probably thinking that because they don't feel like this could ever get visited on them.

So while right now you might be barking along like trained seals,
there's gonna come a moment in time where all of that cheerleading isn't going to serve you, and you're gonna be part of the group that gets disappeared too.
Nothing about this is okay. Nothing about this is acceptable. Nothing about this is normal. And if you're sitting there and you disagree with any of that, you're part of the problem.
