there is power in simply bearing witness. It’s like the adage, “a watched pot never boils,” he told me.

If someone’s not monitoring the situation, he said, it’s going to boil over.

This is nightmarish and every Dem politician, every media figure who is silent is complicit. This is not supposed to happen here. Masked thugs with guns dragging moms away in front of their screaming children. Trump’s government must be destroyed and his accomplices must rot in prison
