"Fear is the accelerant. Racist hierarchy is the point.
Nothing else matters to Miller and, by extension, to Trump. And no matter how unpopular it gets, he can’t give up his quest for 'racial purity.' …
Immigration is the core obsession."
~ Jason Sattler

"Long before Miller held power, he immersed himself in demographic panic, eugenics-era immigration theory, and white nationalist grievance dressed up as 'heritage.' Once inside government, those ideas became policy: the Muslim ban, the dismantling of asylum, mass detention, and family separation. These weren’t mistakes or overreaches. The cruelty was intentional."

"Suffering was the deterrent. Visibility was the feature. And all non-white people who could be easily othered as 'not real Americans' were the targets."

"A year ago, I never used to worry about attracting the attention of 'the authorities.' In fact, I never thought about 'the authorities' as a concept at all, let alone one to be afraid of. I always imagined something called 'the authorities' being a problem for people living in dictatorships, like Iran or Venezuela, not those living in western democracies."

"Renee Good is dead because the Trump regime gave a gun, a badge, and a sense of impunity to the kind of people who want a gun, a badge, and impunity. Her murder was the obvious and intended outcome of a reign of fascist terror Donald Trump and his henchmen are imposing on the American people."

"This is the central truth of the situation: They killed her as a means of imposing terror and control on the American people, and they will continue to behave similarly as long as they can get away with it." …
And the "lies [of the Trump regime] are so transparent that few outside the Trump regime and the most overt of its propagandists are peddling them. But many more news companies are privileging those lies."

"Weeks before an ICE agent shot Renee Good dead in Minneapolis, the Department of Homeland Security in Washington warned about the dangers of confronting suspects in vehicles, according to a November memo leaked to me.
'For safe & effective vehicle extractions, de-escalation is key,' cautioned an internal Customs and Border Patrol guidance, signed by the head of the agency’s compliance directorate."
