Wondering what the f*ck happened to America? Trump is just the symptom. 
US democracy has always been aspirational & over-hyped, but in an economic system where money is power you can't have billionaire level concentrations of wealth and continue to have a functioning democracy. 2/9

            Yeah, Reaganβs pointβwhile announcing a tariffβis tariffs must be used rarely, deliberately, and temporarily. A moderate right-wing view.

They want community members too afraid to resist out of fear that they might be next. 
As ICE occupations worsen, communities have proven to be a lynchpin to resisting ICE. We must build up community solidarity.
