Time to pay attention.
The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.
This is 21st century Nazism.
Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.
Where is the global outrage?
The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”
...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

It takes until the *tenth paragraph* in this piece to introduce the phrase “thousands of children may die”
RFK Jr. wants to tackle chronic disease. Despite controversial views on vaccines, his focus on healthy food and taking on special interests may find broad support — and face political headwinds.

This X account has been given a grey checkmark, verifying it as an official government account.
It also only accepts resumes be DM's, which are solely open to verified X users who pay Elon Musk.
This level of corruption is staggering.

I loathe people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump with every fiber of my being. It is a loathing and an opposition that comes naturally but also one that I want to nurture and actively remember, so that I don’t forget myself and what I stand for.

Payback is a bitch. And so are we.
