The Department of Justice at last
Has made crime-fighting part of the past.
Its new goals were affirmed
From when Pam was confirmed;
Now the sycophant die’s long since cast.

This can't be reformed. These people can't be redeemed. The entire system must be dismantled and every single person who is part of it must be tried for their crimes against humanity.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This act of corruption will harm working people in the form of asthma, COPD, and other respiratory illnesses.
Because of the EPA's decision to rescind the endangerment finding, polluters will get richer while Americans get sicker.

The repeal of the EPA’s landmark determination, which said that global warming caused by greenhouse gases endangers the health and welfare of current and future generations, will upend most U.S. policies aimed at curbing climate change.
EPA reverses longstanding climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions
The agency announced Thursday that it is repealing its own conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and wellbeing.

Campus free-speech panics are never about red state legislatures making it hard for state college faculty to study climate change or industrial pollution, for instance.

Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

No rational person can accept this. WTAF is 'white culture'? Yah yah, mayo jokes etc., but seriously: how much of American cultural identity is 'white'? Rock, blues, & jazz are black musical traditions. US' fave meals are soul food or immigrant imports. Diversity IS who we are, and should be always.

call Congress
focus on GOP
call their local field offices as well as DC
here's how:
search member's name
• Senator + " phone" find ".senate.gov"
• House Representative + " phone" find ".house.gov"
(that will have all the LOCAL FIELD OFFICE numbers)
America is at her best when in peaceful protest
