The state’s only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years.
They’re also denying her medical attention.

I just want them gone. I don’t want any punitive justice, I don’t want revenge, I just want them stripped of any ability to continue to hurt others. If that means killing em, fine. As long as they’re gone.
That’s worked so well every other time we’ve removed criminals from power and just decided to move on and put the past behind us. When there are no consequences for corrupt use of power, you might as well take your shot and take what you can. The worst it ends is you just going back into private society and living the same life you would be otherwise. And then the next generation of fascists, warmongers, and corrupt officials see it and plan their path.
Stripping them of any ability to cause harm… hasn’t worked?!
The fuck are you talking about?!? It’s the one thing nobody has ever focused on.
Not punishing them hasn’t worked. Two Democratic administrations have decided that the people unjustly wielding government for self-enrichment, bigotry, and war no longer being in power had solved the problem and we shouldn’t get distracted with the past. And now we’re once again in a war in the Middle East for political purposes and seeing corruption and bigotry flourish. With some of the exact same characters and a whole new cast freshly emboldened because they think nothing they do holds any risk. And they’re using the powers built up during those prior sprees that were never dismantled to enact their goals.
Punitive justice has been proven ineffective, over and over again. It’s irrelevant.
Actual definitive action to prevent ability to cause further harm has worked.
I don’t care how anybody feels about the solution, but it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with punching back.
But, no, of course the only way to fight fire is with fire…
