We’re all gonna have to pay for this one day.
There’s not a decent country on the planet that treats human beings like this. The whole world sees this.

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

Good, consistent, easily accessible, acute, chronic and preventative health care are human rights. For starters. Please add.

I have a distinct memory of a dictator pocketing something valuable that was only to look at. Maybe in last 15 years. Does anyone recall who that was?

Homeland Security on X: "Here am I, send me. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/mRvL6VmGqt" / X Here am I, send me. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/mRvL6VmGqt

Homeland security using christian bible (incorrectly) to justify ice raids in an official communique. I am not sure which violation disheartens/infuriates me the most.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Republican Donors Cash In on 'Alligator Alcatraz' Immigrant Camp Contractors who reportedly worked on Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” detention camp have been big donors to Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.

It's terrible day for this country, when its Fascist President celebrates the opening of a Concentration Camp in the middle of a swamp, to house human slaves, who've been kidnapped by ICE, to make profits for that Concentration Camp, which bankrolls the Fascist President! #AlligatorAlcatraz #StopICE

📌We've become the brutal, authoritarian country you used to see on TV and say, "Damn, thank God I don't live there ..."

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

What the fuck is wrong with people? Of course, we are also destroying already dismal pediatric healthcare, nutrition, and education systems, so “this is what I voted for” seems consistent (until “they” feel the effect).
