I am so angry, my heart is broken. Young children are waiting at school for this mother to pick them up. What will happen to them? What will happen to her? To her car, her purse? Why does it take over 12 heavily armed men to kidnap her? Is she really "the worst of the worst" or just a human bounty?

Ok, did not expect “The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe” to feel quite so relevant to this moment.

Here’s Edmund, deciding to side with the leader who he’s been told disappears people.

He did want Turkish Delight and to be a prince (and later a king) and to pay Peter out for calling him a beast. As for what the Witch would do with the others, he didn't want her to be particularly nice to them - certainly not to put them on the same level as himself; but he managed to believe, or to pretend he believed, that she wouldn't do anything very bad to them, 'Because,' he said to himself, 'all these people who say nasty things about her are her enemies and probably half of it isn't true. She was jolly nice to me, anyway, much nicer than they are. I expect she is the rightful Queen really. Anyway, she'll be better than that awful Aslan!' At least, that was the excuse he made in his own mind for what he was doing. It wasn't a very good excuse, however, for deep down inside him he really knew that the White Witch was bad and cruel.

All ICE and DHS agents should use their guns on themselves or take the cyanide pill because we will find you. You will never stop running. Your names will be known. You will never live in peace. You will be found and we will get justice. Prison cells or database with your face. We will not forget.

If he is going to declare martial law or the insurrection act let's make it worth it. Record their lawless escalations so when the spark does occur, it is self-defense of the Constitutional union and not a rebellion.

I think we’ve seen what has happened to humans with Social Media. We saw what happened in the isolation of Covid. And, Hollywood has shown us several AI dystopias that I think, I HOPE these AI “friends “ “girlfriends/boyfriends” etc are dead in the water.

I wonder what “organized leftist hate groups” he’s going to create, put liberals in, and then destroy? “ANITIFA” was created by the right years ago to bait the left. We aren’t falling for it.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.
