People are SICK OF THIS SHIT. So many people. So sick. Of so much shit.
Nothing is a distraction. Everything is one person's last straw. The people most sensitive to changing vibes--politicians and right-wing grifters--have started acting like the tide is turning.
BE THE TIDE, Y'ALL.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
