"In a stark recasting of Orwell’s original insight, in 2024 it was not Trump and his MAGA allies who cloaked their intentions in euphemism and ambiguity. Instead, it was mainstream media, pollsters, and political consultants who retreated into vagueness—minimizing or outright ignoring Trump's explicit threats in an effort to avoid accusations of bias, partisanship, or alarmism."

"In the shadow of mid-20th-century atrocities, George Orwell warned us in his indispensable essay, 'Politics and the English Language,' that political speech often serves primarily to defend the indefensible through 'euphemism, question-begging, and sheer cloudy vagueness.' Today, this warning rings truer than ever.

"The reason I think we're at the numbers we're at is because this movement has been building a very long time. And one of the things that we need to do when we reclaim America and an America for everybody is to push these people back under the rock they came from. Because that's really where this kind of mentality should be in a healthy society. They'll always be there, but they shouldn't be running everything."

"There is the idea of othering and ... you can see the way the administration began these flights with individuals that they believed they had constructed this image of them as these terrible human beings. Again, although 90% of them do not have criminal records, but they could do it. They had brown skin."

"They’re painted not as people, but as animals. As monsters. As rapists. As the scourge of American society. The messaging isn’t accidental. It is the exact kind of dehumanization that makes cruelty palatable, even desirable. ...

This is the playbook. This has always been the playbook. Turn the masses against the vulnerable. Make cruelty the point. Then repeat the lie until the truth chokes on its own breath."

"Reminiscent of Hitler’s grotesque propaganda, where Jews were cast as vermin, stripped of their humanity so that no one would care when they were disappeared, the Trump apparatus is manufacturing the same cruelty, recast for modern America. The new 'vermin' are the immigrants. The undocumented. The vulnerable. The desperate."

It’s begun.

The #SocialSecurity Admin this week entered the names & SSNs of >6,000 mostly Latino immigrants into a database it uses to track #dead people, effectively #erasing their ability to receive #benefits or #work legally in the #UnitedStates….

The move, requested by #DHS Secy [& dog killer] #KristiNoem, is aimed at putting pressure on the #undocumented immigrants to leave the country.

The goal is to cut those people off from using crucial financial services like bank accounts & credit cards, along w/their access to government benefits.

The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing #SocialSecurity’s “death master file,” which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the govt believes should be TREATED AS IF THEY ARE DEAD.

„United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said Tuesday that Gaza had become "a killing field" because Israel has continued to block aid, an accusation an Israeli official quickly denied, saying there was "no shortage" of aid.“
