A follow-up thought of my own. Tikkun Olam (תיקון עולם) is a Hebrew phrase meaning "repair of the world."

If one's life (and thus death) is irrelevant and forgettable, then one has failed to do even a small part of that repair.

Reading some FDR quotes:

"In these days of difficulty, we Americans everywhere must and shall choose the path of social justice...the path of faith, the path of hope, and the path of love toward our fellow man."

"Among American citizens, there should be no forgotten men and no forgotten races."

It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

CISA Acting Director Madhu Gottumukkala tried to access classified info he didn't need.

His employees set up a lie detector test - which he failed.

So DHS suspended him.

No, wait, they suspended the employees who stopped him from illegally accessing classified info he wasn't cleared to see.
