"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all." - Valery Legasov, "Chernobyl"

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

Yeah, they're good at selective blindness.

That's been the plan from the beginning. They want to eliminate special education and bring back for-profit asylums.

Missing 15-year-old autistic child found detained by ICE since the 5th of October. He was helping his mother and had just gone to the restroom when ICE abducted him. Seems like a nonverbal autistic kid. 😠

That could have been my son. I would have lost my mind. Every person employed by ICE needs to burn in Hell.

Closeted gay for sure. He "adopted" a young Black boy some years ago who has since disappeared.

Oh, no doubt. But proclaiming gay men are bound for Hell and welcoming lectures on Christianity from a gay man seems fairly contradictory, even for them. 🤨

My mom called them hateful people, and always said they suffer the worst punishment - living with themselves. Block and move on.
