It does. Andrys is going to die in that prison because he'll be singled out for being gay.
He's received a virtual death sentence with no court order, no deportation hearing and zero due process.
This is actually evil and harkens to the time when Nazis sent LGBT people to concentration camps.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

And a reminder that we have work to do: this is in many ways the source of much of the problems we’re facing.
We have to build up media if we want to succeed. Not trying to fix old media. Not fighting the ones we don’t live. Creating and building our own ecosystem.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

As Marc Elias, an elections lawyer who litigates on behalf of Democrats, told me, “When Donald Trump says that he does not believe there should be voting machines, you should believe him. When he says there should only be voting on Election Day, you should believe him.”
Trump Is Still Trying to Undermine Elections
Now that Trump has installed election deniers throughout his Administration, he has been busy dismantling the guardrails protecting voting and voters.

If you love wolves, you should be very concerned - the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the very legislation that saved gray wolves, Red Wolves, and Mexican gray wolves, is under attack. Call on your representatives in Congress to save the ESA.

If the government shuts down it is 100% on them.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

If you don’t stand up for rule of law, nothing else matters. It’s the mechanism of accountability in democracies. If Trump can do anything he wants with shutting down agencies, it’s naive to imagine he will follow the rules in elections and beyond. Preserving rule of law is existential to democracy.
