"Many Americans continue to be astonished and offended that they might be punished for killing a migrant on the border."

With #humanitarian #catastrophes unfolding on several continents,
the response of the #wealthy #world has been to 💥demand tighter borders and higher fences.
⚠️There is no blockbuster charity single raising money for starving refugees from the civil war raging in Sudan.
🆘And now, the cruel taunts come not just from schoolyard bullies and cranks on the political fringes, but from the lips of a man who stood on the presidential debate stage on Tuesday -- a former president who once again has a coin-flip shot at regaining the most powerful office in the world.
And so I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised by that lowest of moments at the debate,
when Donald Trump repeated a vile, baseless claim that Haitian immigrants were killing and eating household pets in Springfield, Ohio.
This allegation appears to stem from viral social media posts and statements at public meetings.
It was picked up by some of the most rancid figures at the #fringe of the #MAGA-verse,
then quickly hopscotched from there to a social media post by Trump’s running mate, JD #Vance,
and finally to the debate stage, sputtered by #Trump himself.
There is something particularly #insidious about this claim,
uttered at this time, from that stage.
#Food and #pets are, to use a Freudian term, highly overdetermined #symbols in our political life.
They are capable of receiving and holding a multiplicity of very potent meanings, transmitting deep messages about #identity and #belonging.
You can tell how powerful this type of slur is by how quickly and vociferously it has animated so many on the right.
Figures who flirt with the mainstream have eagerly jumped into the fray.
The conservative culture warrior #Christopher #Rufo has offered a $5,000 bounty for anyone who can find proof that a Haitian immigrant had in fact eaten a cat.
It is not hard to imagine how this could quickly escalate into #vigilante #violence against Haitians in America.
On Thursday, city officials in Springfield, most of whom have pushed back against the false allegations, said they had received #bomb #threats, prompting the evacuation of city buildings.
MAGA bigotry is far more #sinister and #dangerous than weird.
And disbelieving laughter could,
I fear, blind us to moments like this, when truly unacceptable lines are crossed
Today in Labor History August 19, 1916: Strikebreakers attacked and beat picketing IWW strikers in Everett, Washington. The police refused to intervene, claiming it was federal jurisdiction. However, when the strikers retaliated, they arrested the strikers. Vigilante attacks on IWW picketers and speakers escalated and continued for months. In October, vigilantes forced many of the strikers to run a gauntlet, violently beating them in the process. The brutality culminated in the Everett massacre on November 5, when Wobblies (IWW members) sailed over from Seattle to support the strikers. The sheriff called out to them as they docked, “Who is your leader?” And the Wobblies yelled back, “We all are!” The sheriff told them they couldn’t dock. One of the Wobblies said, “Like hell we can’t!” And then a mob of over 200 vigilantes opened fire on them. As a result, seven died and 50 were wounded. John Dos Passos portrays these events in his USA Trilogy.
