Any belief held to the extreme is wrong, be it religious, political or personal. Any kind of extremism is ultimately evil.

Get up and resist. Yes!
What amazes me most is that this reality is still not widely accepted, neither among people nor among politicians.

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that refusing to name truth makes you stupid--literally degrades your intellect.

No due process? Congrats! You’re just a bully hiding behind a flag.
You don’t hate crime,you hate rights! Own it.
If rights only matter when you have power, you’re not a patriot, you’re a threat.
Stripping equal protection is the calling card of cowards and tyrants.

“If you were from this country, you would know I’m an immigration officer… I can hear you don’t have the same accent as me.”
Accent as evidence.
Appearance as suspicion.
Power as permission.
When federal agents decide who “belongs,” citizenship stops being protection & starts being conditional.
