Democrats need to be clear that as soon as decent human beings are in charge again the standards go back *IMMEDIATELY AND WITH NO GRACE PERIOD.*
Manufacturers need to be very clear that they better stay on schedule or suffer the consequences.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

Democrats have a habit of eating their own then losing elections.
Republicans don't give a fuck what people think.
The world is far from perfect. Now is not the time to sit elections out. 20M Democrats did just that in '24, look where we are.
This could be our last chance to save democracy.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.
“It’s just a horrible, horrible, horrible place,” he said of his detention camp. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”
