the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!
Osservatorio sul complottismo@sulcomplottismo.bsky.social · 2mo agoGreg Bovino at the far-right Remigration summit in Portugal: "Martin Sellner, you've invited me here today. Your ideas, we've talked a lot on that and those ideas mirror each other. We've never talked before face to face until yesterday and we're on the same sheet of music almost immediately".

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
