Trump has installed dozens of men who follow this ideology into the highest levels of his administration, including Pete Hegseth, who leads the Department of Defense.
This is the doctrine Republicans want all Americans to live by.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.
People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates βlike dogsβ, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care.
This is a human rights crisis.

Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents donβt need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

β’ One meal per day

These are known torture tactics.
Many detainees are legal residents.

Every day we are sinking deeper into the depths of hell as a country.
Trump when Epstein files came up: βI canβt believe you asked a question about Epstein at a time like this with what happened in TX. Seems like a desecration.β
Trump minutes later pointing to the ceiling: βShould I gold leaf the corners? Painting is easy but it wonβt look right.β
