We Are Not the Nation We Thought We Were We must see through our myths about ourselves if we are ever to aspire again to greatness

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do?

Deportations without due process is a moral issue. So the fact that you are calling it a distraction tells me you are a slickster politician who needs to stay in California. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

...while Gavin Newsome follows the pollsters advising him that moral suicide is his route to the White House.

Why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the Jenga piece that could topple the American Experiment | Will Bunch The Trump regime lies about a Salvadoran laborer and dad because the truth of his humanity could unravel its dream of autocracy.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is everything right now

For the Trump regime, their ability to disappear the humanity of one Maryland dad is central toward a project of establishing American dictatorship

It's why we must fight for Kilmar's freedom...and our own. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/kilm...

Gay Venezuelan stylist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced Milwaukee cop's report Now a contractor for ICE, the officer was on the Brady list of disgraced cops in Milwaukee. His report helped send a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

A disgraced former Milwaukee cop with credibility issues helped seal the fate of a gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison. Cross was fired from his position as a Milwaukee Police Sergeant in 2012 after driving his car into a family’s home while intoxicated.

As a long time public school teacher, I believe high stakes testing that started after "no child left behind" is also a contributing factor. Requiring elementary students to do a "text dependent analysis" on every book they read sure sucks the joy out of reading.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

I would have been surprised if our drunken monkey "secretary of defense" had responded in any other way.

The U.S. is no longer an electoral democracy. This will be reflected in the non-partisan indices. β€œPartly free” from Freedom House would strike me as generous. This kind of shit cannot happen in a democracy. Even if they bring this person back under pressure the damage is done. We cannot depend….

The 'Threat to Democracy' Is Over It's time to admit that the fascism we feared is already here.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re β€œdescending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE.
And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the β€œgood Germans.”

I think actually it should say East China. The Chinese are propping Putin up for their own purposes. And Elon Musk is already their bitch
