One more time, we seem to live in retaliation nation.
In the Trump maladministion, “mal” not only stands for bad, it stands for “with malice aforethought.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
Thom argues that the arc of American conservatism is wrong, for it bends towards fascism, spurred on by America’s original sin of chattel slaver.

The agents blocked his work truck with unmarked vehicles, broke its windows, and pointed guns at the passengers, according to Portillo. He said his requests for a warrant or explanation of the stop were denied.
He’s been a naturalized citizen for over a decade, has a clean record, and owns a successful small business.

ICE agents attacked and injured an American citizen as he was walking to his school. Here’s a snippet from the report:
(Santa Maria City Council member Gloria–ed.) Soto said it appears the student was racially profiled.
Afterthought:

Via The Charlotte Observer, Sara Pequeño looks at the Trump maladministration’s persecution of Ilhan Omar and says no one should be surprised. A snippet:
>At this point, everyone should be aware that Trump will do whatever he wants. He won’t follow political etiquette that isn’t codified into law, and even then, he may still try to find ways around it. The public humiliation of Omar is not an outlier for Trump – it’s the point of his presidency.
It has become the Republican way of politics.
