With each passing day, the #unitedstates sinks deeper in the #cesspool of an egregiously #corrupt #fascist #authoritarian #state. #Rights are mere illusions under #Trump.
According to Vox, Trump has asked #SCOTUS to disregard the Convention Against Torture.

@peteorrall From this article:
“Many immigrants, in other words, could be deported without any judge or other neutral adjudicator considering whether the immigrant will be tortured in the country the Trump administration wants to send them to — both circumventing the Convention Against Torture and giving the administration a cruel new weapon in its immigration crackdown.”
@peteorrall I don’t know why I’m surprised. But this is horrifying.
Unfortunately, the writing has been on the wall for years. #Trump has proven track record of #racist and #dehumanizing rhetoric. As much as he #lies pathologically, he is pathologically honest about his #corruption and will to violate #humanrights. His raging contempt for #life is palpable internationally.
70M "Americans" gave their ultimate support to #DirtbagDon in November 2024. It speaks volumes to what values #americans really hold.
It's fucked up. We must resist and insist.
@cobalt123 Yes, 100%. Anyone who cannot see that cruelty is the point is part of the problem.
The right's stance on immigration and the border is just a thin veil on racism and xenophobia.
Anyone who wants to publicly argue that they should be allowed to torture people should themselves be tortured.
Yes, 100%. The same goes for slavery too....because unfortunately this country has several packs of halfwits who think we should go back to that.
Ugh, this country! 🤮
