This cannot be emphasized enough: This lack of empathy an individual would have to have in order to say this/do this, given what had just occurred, is profoundly pathological.
Know this: Extricating empathy is a high priority of the Trump regime-Project 2025.

The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.
