R U kidding?!? The Meidas Touch does much more damage to the cause than good with its ridiculously hyperbolic clickbait. Is one of the last bastions of accurate information (Deadline: Whitehouse) being sucked down the attention economy drain? Snap out of it!

He'll just incite riots, declare an emergency, and call off the elections. No need to overthink it.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Why would they want to do that? It's complicated. Let me explain.

Education prevents fascism.

Wait, I guess it's not that complicated...

It begins… ICE just scooped them up, shaved their heads, dressed them in the same clothes, and sent them to a concentration camp in El Salvador with zero due process and in violation of a judge’s order.

Fascism has come to America and you have a choice. Are you going to fight it? Or are you going to hide in the corner and hope it never comes for you?

Choose wisely.

But make no mistake, if you don’t stand your ground and stand up for the rights of EVERYONE, there will come a day when you will regret your silence even if it’s only because the shoe finally dropped on you. (Continued)

I haven’t been publicly demonized by the President of the U.S. on social media. No, as an old white guy, I am one of the lucky ones and will never face the same threats as millions of marginalized people who are the true targets of these sadistic fucks. (Continued)

I haven’t been shipped to Louisiana and imprisoned in a private detention center without charges. I haven’t been arrested by ICE or deported. I haven’t been fired without cause by a South African Nazi. I haven’t been banned from playing sports or using a particular restroom. (Continued)

My freedom of expression has been restricted by the fascist oligarchy that is taking hold in the U.S. as we speak. I’m now officially one of its victims. But I am one of the lucky ones. I haven’t been disappeared. (Continued)

This morning a video of mine was removed from YouTube that had been there for 12 YEARS. This particular video was a song that I wrote and performed called β€œLet Freedom Ring” that railed against authoritarianism and empire. (Continued)
