Economics of the Heart: Constitutional Humanism<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The rebellion of Minneapolis residents against the chaotic invasion of “ICE,” (Project 2025’s version of the Nazi SS) has cast a global spotlight on its warrantless brutality and breathtaking violations of Constitutional rights to due process of citizens, refugees, visitors, and families of every nationality, race, religion, and net worth. The Tweetster’s insatiable need to make people suffer seems to drive everything he does, from insulting press agents aboard Air Force 1 to watching ICE actually murder<\/em> people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ICE has been turned into a semi-secret, Federal, paramilitary “police force” whose sole purpose is to intimidate the public with armed, masked, nameless, agents deliberately violating, for political and financial purposes, the Constitutional rights of American citizens and visitors and without cause or warrant, demeaning, detaining, beating, scaring, and disappearing ordinary citizens and legal visitors for simply going about their business.<\/span><\/p>\n

The entire nation has been awakened by the breathtaking cruelty and indifference of Administration officials associated with law enforcement, who all appear to share a general hatred, disgust, and anger against immigrants, women, non-whites, the better-educated, and the poor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, speaking of money, the “Big Beautiful Bill” passed by Republicans transfers hundreds of billions of dollars from the bottom 90% of individuals and families to the .01% at the very top, making it the largest transfer of wealth from poorest to richest in American history:<\/span><\/p>\n
