Whenever A.R. Moxon posts one of his stellar essays, it's a challenge to choose any portion to excerpt, because the essays are always dense, rich, well-written — and everything he says counts.
I hope the bits I'm choosing to excerpt here might encourage you to read the entire thing:

"This falsehood, directed at a community that has done nothing wrong besides being from a different place than the surrounding residents, shows how much the Trump campaign’s strategy hinges on polluting the information environment with lies about vulnerable groups that Republicans want to blame for the country’s problems."

Trump Will Believe Anything
The former president will believe anything—even wild rumors about immigrants killing and eating pets—as long as it’s cruel, politically expedient, and on TV.Adam Serwer (The Atlantic)
"Trump and Vance are lying about this fabricated allegation about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets because their main goal is to generate the emotion of disgust toward a target group of people, to make immigrants subhuman. Straight out of the fascist, authoritarian playbook and a primer for violence toward that group."

"The Trump-Vance campaign isn’t 'backtracking' from it because this is who they are. They want people to hate immigrants, they want to encourage violence. They don’t give a damn that the things they’re saying are false."

"This racist lie designed to divide American and stoke hatred towards immigrants and racial minorities — exactly the kind of lie that has in the past resulted in violence against marginalized communities. things they’re saying are false."

"He is trying to stir up hatred. It’s the politics of hate that I wrote about in Hatemonger. He wants people to believe that all of their problems are due to immigrants, and to create this — you know, an environment that is extremely unsafe for immigrant families, mixed-status communities, people of color across this country."

"The story was thoroughly debunked even before the debate. But examining how it got laundered from the fringes of the internet to Trump’s lips during a debate watched by tens of millions of people perfectly illustrates the hollowness at the center of the Trump movement, and indeed in modern conservatism itself."

"Observers correctly noted that the racist trope of immigrants eating pets dehumanizes marginalized people who are already vulnerable, putting them in danger. While posters and media have repeatedly pointed out that the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are there legally and have revitalized the city, making fun of those sharing such a stupid lie has a different kind of potential to defang it."

"Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance attacked the moderators and doubled down on the lie that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating their neighbors’ pets, despite statements from Springfield police and the town manager that there is no evidence for such a statement."

Today’s fallout from last night’s presidential debate between Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican nominee former president Donald Trump has shown Harris solidifying her dominant position.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
"The story is false, but it ricocheted through right-wing social media, quickly being promoted by Elon Musk, various Republican members of Congress, and Vance himself, who was all too eager to spread it far and wide."
Waldman writes,
"The fake story reveals a deeper, more essential truth that it’s important for people to believe. And what is that supposed truth?"

As Paul Waldman notes, the toxic and easily disproven lie that Trump chose to spread in the debate — that Haitians in Ohio are eating pets — started with Vance, who got the lie from neo-Nazis:
"It wasn’t until neo-Nazis began spreading a lie about those immigrants eating pets that Vance got people to really pay attention to Springfield."

Trump and Vance Are Preparing For a Bloodbath
What their racist lie about immigrants eating pets is supposed to accomplish.Paul Waldman (The Cross Section)
"Trump is using similar language as a prelude to the proposed mass deportations of migrants that both he and Project 2025 (which he claimed last night he’d never read) call for. Trump and Vance are setting up a society where atrocities against other human beings can be justified by dehumanizing them first."

"It is both of those things, but it is more than that; it is also dangerous. Dehumanizing people is what makes inhuman treatment of them possible. It’s how you justify the family separation policy that ripped children from their parents, some of them so young that reunification is still elusive more than five years later."

Joyce Vance quotes Greg Sargent, who says,
"Fact-checking MAGA's vile lie about cat-eating Haitians misses the point. It's an *open* assertion of the power to lie with impunity about immigrants as a prelude to 'bloody' removals of millions."
Then she adds,
"It's not just that the Haitian story is ridiculous. It's not just that it’s a lie."

The city of Columbus Ohio got hacked by a ransomware gang, they didn't pay the ransom so the gang released half of the stolen data which included secret police and prosecutor files. The leak exposed countless victims, witness and confidential informants personal info and communications with the city.
The city claimed NO info was leaked. A cyber security enthusiast went to the media and proved otherwise.
