We’ve seen this before, and it never ends well. When a government plans to warehouse tens of thousands of people outside meaningful judicial review, euphemisms like “holding centers” collapse. Remove due process, normalize mass detention, and history tells us what follows—every time.

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

My advice: Like what you like and don't worry about anyone who tells you it's cringe. Life's short and the world's on fire, and as long as you're not hurting other people, you're fine. I mean, I still like U2, too! I don't care who knows it. If other people don't like that, that's a them problem.
I love U2. I feel like I could have glided along, enjoying them, if it wasn’t for that damned internet. Now I am on the defensive or lying low with my fandom. That’s happening somewhat now with Taylor Swift. She’s the biggest star in the world but the backlash has begun. “Mom pop”?

Trump quoting Jesus about love and every child being sacred would hit harder if he didn’t spend the year dehumanizing migrants, attacking critics, and pushing policies that hurt the very children he claims to honor. It’s not faith. It’s marketing.
