All I read lately about US and its president ends in my mind with "So this is how he wants to progress to an absolute dictatorship."

It's so depressing to think of victims of his executive orders and speeches. It's so awful to see it happening.

Are we going to act against it soon enough?

Trump just ordered his top generals to crush "the enemy within" - left-wing Americans

Trump may not have managed to be dictator on day one, but the fascist squatting in the Whitehouse is having a pretty good crack at it now

There goes old Goody Majorie again. Demons in the music at the town's gameplay. She still doesn't get that there are other cultures outside of old faux religious Salem, that express joys and pains in other languages and it doesn't make it a demon-tongue just because she doesn't know it

Truth and laid bare. Being wary of those that profess yet the fruit of what they're saying produces bad and contention should be enough to ignore for all that truly know. Instead it ignites the thin and unstable and he knew it. It's why the party spread his platform to feed the base instincts.

None deserve death over words, but they need to stop selectively quoting him. He was human, faulty and had questionable views on many things.
He was not blameless nor a martyr. He was political and proudly polarizing. Kids saying I AM CHARLIE KIRK is crooked

It's out of order.
Without truth, there is no justice without Justice, there is no peace.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
