A populace that is agitated without being informed. A leader who encourages the worst suspicions, fuels the most dangerous lies, and mocks compromise and tolerance. It is getting close to being too late. ICYMI: www.thebulwark.com/p/everything...

Everything Is Awful. And It’s Changing Us.

It’s great that Disney is bringing Jimmy Kimmel back—but is it too late?

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

It's only gonna get worse. 🙁

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough'.
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

I'm worried due process is over for good. That the fascists know how unpopular they are, that they can't legit hold Congress - so they'll "win" illegally. Military will be out in force, intimating voters at the polls. Nobody seems to understand that the time to stop this is NOW. If not yesterday.

The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

Translation: if you are a republican who is involved in an insurrection, you cannot be investigated. The FBI director is offering a pass to republican politicians who are involved in potentially criminal activity.

In a stunning moment, Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts Republicans on the shutdown. "I'm not going to... keep talking the talking points, when my own adult children can hardly afford health insurance premiums."

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) today floated the idea that workers furloughed during a government shutdown are not guaranteed back pay when the shutdown is resolved.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

This is from Marge Greene.

You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats.

But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about “illegals.”
