Kiteo, his eyes closed.

a direct line from the post-covid public transit crime panic, which I've written about, to today's horror, laid out plainly by the chief executive. man

Bullshit. It is what most “tough on crime” politicians across the political spectrum in the US (and VERY MUCH Canada as well) have been arguing for decades. Neoliberal politics has always come with fascism sprinkled in. Trump is just carrying all this stuff to its logical conclusion.
