Q: How can this man be adored by millions?

A: "Think of how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are stupider than that"
—George Carlin

The ignorance & hate is hard to bear!

People need to open their eyes, though, because that hate & cruelty could end up hurting them.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says it’s readying to sue Georgia, a key GOP-led swing state, after being told to “pound sand” over the issue. Other red states have expressed “serious concerns” about handing over the voter data, a top DOJ official revealed.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention.

They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families.

They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states.

They’re committing crimes against humanity.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Americans who brush off the idea that Trump is a fascist sometimes imagine that a real fascist regime, unlike Trump’s, would persecute ethnic minorities.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Judge Breyer blocks Trump from deploying the CA National Guard, returning control to Gavin Newsom. He also quotes Marty Lederman in his determination that "regular forces" means the military. The Supreme Court will rule on that definition soon. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/judge-dism...
Judge Dismantles Trump's Legal Argument for Deploying the National Guard
The government says 10 U.S.C. § 12406 gives the president the unreviewable, plenary power to deploy the National Guard. Judge Breyer says no. The Supreme Court will soon decide the same question.

There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line.

Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.

This is the way.

Gov. Pritzker signed a bill Tuesday that makes it easier for Illinois residents to sue federal immigration agents for up to $10,000 if they believe their rights have been violated, and also restricts those agents from enforcement outside courthouses.

What makes their tactics any different from criminals? Criminals also don’t uphold the law and respect rights. Indeed,it is altogether possible that these are the worst and most dangerous people in our society. Other criminals tend to assault people, these maskers kidnap, imprison & disappear people

The richest 10% of the world’s population owns '75% of all wealth and the bottom half just 2%.'

'Reducing inequality was “not only about fairness, but essential for the resilience of economies, the stability of democracies, and the viability of our planet”
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%
