No, Trump will never ever ever go to prison. Stop it. The purpose of prison in the US is NOT to incarcerate former heads of state or rich and powerful people.

Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.

From CLUE: ICE is detaining people in workplaces, at day-labor gathering spots, on the streets, and at lawful check-ins and court hearings. There are attempts to deport quickly, potentially without due process, & the only hope to keep families together is through providing bond funds to get them out

Please start talking to your felon-supporting relatives—the ones who chose an adjudicated rapist over a woman—before you come asking the demographic who y’all actually hate, who saw this coming, who never wanted this, to go risk life and limb for you.

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

After many years of practice on other countries, America is finally carrying out a rightwing coup on itself, like a jaded big game hunter who finds there’s only one species he hasn’t yet slaughtered, and places the shotgun under his own chin.

The more I look at the prep and legal reasoning behind invading LA, the more it looks like that the administration wants to seize supreme authoritarian power over the corpse of the republic through force of arms but also doesn’t want to do any actual work to do so. Rather surreal.

Everything happening is so exhausting and draining. You feel like you want to take a break from the news but then realise the least you can do is speak up. So you feel guilty for turning away for just a second. We’re stuck in a cycle of wanting to do more and feeling helpless.

I tend to think about what is happening to America right now as the ongoing attempted murder-suicide of multiracial democracy by a white nationalist minority and it’s very frightening but what’s happening in LA feels like a good sign that we’re not going down without a fight

If undocumented workers with no criminal history are being dragged from job sites that they’ve worked at for years, then when do the CEOs, contractors, and farm owners who employed them start getting handcuffed? Or is that not how “justice” works in America?
