People with a public platform who decry authoritarianism, make a living selling books and public appearances, but who remain silent on genocide are fraudsters. There's nothing more antidemocratic than genocide. Right,

Awful. A teenager, dead by suicide in an ICE detention center. There is now a crisis of suicide inside the detention system; I have never seen anything like it. Suicide has happened before, but they were very rare. This is the third or fourth this year.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.
