Blood in the streets

The Killing-in-the-Streets phase of Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon’s shock and awe campaign has begun.

If you support this, whatever moral sense you once possessed has evaporated. If you believe ICE agents will become more circumspect after Minneapolis, you’re dangerously deluded. If you think I’m being hysterical – hair on fire, screaming the sky is falling – then you probably dismiss the thousands marching in subzero Minneapolis weather as paid radical left-wing terrorists.

JD Vance wants you to believe ICE targets “the worst of the worst.” Right. That explains the 2-year-olds and 5-year-olds.

The Shock and Awe campaign just escalated. DHS now allows ICE to break down doors without warrants. Agents have arrest quotas to meet. The next logical step? Weekly killing quotas. Killing in the streets becomes the new normal.

Listen. Hear that?

No, you don’t. What you’re listening for is outrage from GOP officials like Rep. Hurd – those pillars of moral certitude who express their outrage through silence.
