A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

A quotation from Robert Green Ingersoll
Is it necessary that Heaven should borrow its light from the glare of Hell?

"Even as President Donald Trump’s hold over the electorate wanes, his administration’s naked authoritarian tendencies intensify. If you can tell a man’s mettle by how he behaves under pressure, Trump—mired in a ludicrous standoff of his own making with Iran and cratering in the polls—is putting on a display of raw narcissism and petty cruelty unparalleled among modern democracies."

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
The doctrine of eternal pain is my trouble with this Christian religion. I reject it on account of its infinite heartlessness.

"It shows him being dropped off outside a locked Tim Hortons, five miles from his home in Buffalo, New York, at night in the dead of winter. Agents made no phone call to his family or his lawyers to let them know Alam was being released and left there.
He was found dead on Tuesday. ...
The cruelty of ICE and Border Patrol agents may be the point, but it comes from the very top by design."

"It’s all out in the open, leading to a hard truth: If cruelty is the point, and the cover-ups are so brazen, what result are they really driving toward? ...
Video evidence that emerged yesterday demonstrated that the Border Patrol actually killed Alam by leaving him outside to die."

"The Trump years will be remembered for its cruelty and cover-ups. The level of sadism and brutality by the White House and its GOP enablers is both shocking and intentional, even as efforts to cover up or distract from crimes remain painfully obvious."

"On Tuesday evening, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind, seriously ill Rohingya refugee from Burma who does not speak English, was found dead in Buffalo—five days after Border Patrol dropped him off on a street corner without notifying his family, who had moved away from the area. He was 56.
When historians reflect on this regime, cruelty will be the word most often used to define it."

Investigative Post offers video footage from the closed Tim Hortons at which CBP dropped Shah Alam off, claiming later — a lie — that they left him at a warm, safe place to which he had asked to be taken.

"As for the claim that Border Patrol had taken Shah Alam to a nice warm place, surveillance video released Thursday night showed that he had been left outside a Tim Horton’s that was closed, at night, as temperatures were dropping. For shoes, all he had were the thin orange booties from the jail."

"It's freezing cold. Clear this man is blind. We've seen a photo of him. Why not just drive an extra five miles? Why not? Or why not call his family? Right. I mean, like one has to make these are not conspiratorial leaps. Right. Like one has to just make practical assumptions that there is absolutely something malicious at play here."

"One has to ask the question, what was the purpose? What was the purpose? Why is this man in Customs and Border Protection's custody? Why? And it makes no legal sense and it makes no practical sense. And at that point… Why in the world are you dropping him ff at a Tim Hortons rather than dropping him off? Like, what is the motivation here, right?"

"Instead, two Border Patrol agents picked him up. And what happened as a result is after taking custody of Shah Alam, they dropped him off at a Tim Hortons on Niagara Street in the Black Rock neighborhood shortly after 8 p.m. in freezing cold Buffalo. Shah Alam and his family live in Broadway Filmer neighborhood on the east side, five miles away."

"Nur Al-Amin Shah Alam should have been released to his family. He should have been notified. His attorney should have notified. His family should have been notified. Instead two Border Patrol agents picked him up."

"And now, abandoned on the subfreezing February streets of the snow capital of America. Because there is really only one point to the ethnic cleansing crusade that began with rabid Trump partisans waving their “Mass Deportation Now!” placards in a Milwaukee arena and ended with a cold, lonely corpse on Perry Street.
That point is cruelty."

"Sham Alam’s name will be added to the growing death toll of a dishonorable Donald Trump regime, alongside Ruben Ray Martinez, Renee Nicole Good, Silverio Villegas González, Alex Pretti, Keith Porter, Geraldo Lunas Campos, and scores of others who’ve been shot, chased down, or sickened and neglected in squalid camps.

"Before security-camera footage confirmed that the coffee shop’s lobby was closed, DHS spent yesterday insisting agents had taken Shah Alam to a 'safe, warm location.'"

"Last week, in Buffalo, Border Patrol agents scooped up a refugee named Nurul Amin Shah Alam. They quickly learned he was in the country legally and not deportable. So they released him—in the parking lot of a closed Tim Horton’s, miles from both his home and the county jail where they’d picked him up."

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind Rohingya refugee from Burma who spoke no English, was picked up by U.S. immigration officials last week. After determining there was no basis to deport him, agents released him five miles from his home without notifying his family. He required a walking stick to navigate unfamiliar surroundings. He died attempting to make his way back."

"And second, Trump, Vance, Miller and others have dehumanized immigrants—and even US citizens who oppose them—to the dangerous point that they don’t view them as human beings. …
Please understand that the system is working exactly as Trump and the GOP planned it."

"There are two reasons why Trump’s Department of Homeland (DHS) agents—be they ICE or Customs Border Patrol (CBP)—so easily kill people. First, they have been told by Donald Trump, JD Vance, Stephen Miller and others in the Trump regime that they are immune from criminal prosecution."

"Buffalo Mayor Sean M. Ryan described Shah Alam's death as both 'preventable' and 'deeply disturbing' in a statement shared to social media on Feb. 25.
'A vulnerable man — nearly blind and unable to speak English — was left alone on a cold winter night with no known attempt to leave him in a safe, secure location,' Ryan said."

"Here’s a horrible story about our horrific Nazis & what they do to innocent humans. Yeah, just another one of those! 'Blind Dad of 2 Is Found Dead After Being Released by Border Patrol and Left to Find His Way Home 5 Miles Away' is the headline. But we want you to note what publication it’s in. Because when it’s in People magazine, that means it’s breaking through all the way."

"A spokesperson for Border Patrol, in a statement Wednesday evening, said after agents determined Shah Alam was not supposed to be in their custody, they 'offered him a courtesy ride, which he chose to accept to a coffee shop.' That Tim Hortons, the spokesperson said, was 'determined to be a warm, safe location near his last known address, rather than be released directly from the Border Patrol station.'”

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
The cultivation of wide sympathies, given the instinctive germ, is mainly an intellectual matter: it depends upon the right direction of attention, and the realization of facts which militarists and authoritarians suppress. Take, for example, Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon going round the battlefield of Austerlitz after the victory. Most histories leave the battlefield as soon as the battle is over; by the simple expedient of lingering on it for another twelve hours, a completely different picture of war is produced. This is done, not by suppressing facts, but by giving more facts. And what applies to battles applies equally to other forms of cruelty. In all cases, it should be quite unnecessary to point the moral; the right telling of the story should be sufficient. Do not moralize, but let the facts produce their own moral in the child’s mind.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 2, ch. 11 “Affection and Sympathy” (1926)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/375…

“Understanding this goes a long way in explaining why fundamentalist Christians vote the way they do.
They don’t want to solve hunger.
They don’t way to solve homelessness.
They don’t want to solve poverty.The same person who will donate to the foodbank will vote against food stamps. They don’t want a political solution, they want to remain the triage unit. At the church’s triage unit, people are desperately grateful and the church has the perfect sales pitch.” - Iblamebill (Threads)
