"Zeroed in on, hollowed out
Eroded and run down

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

It’s fascism from here on out as long as they have those two things
