I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Nikita Redkar, the finance-major-turned-comedian behind “Bimbo University.” We talked about her mission of educating her viewers about boring topics (that she love) by showing how the people with all the money and power are as dumb and petty as the rest of us.

Do you think you’re safe because you’re a US citizen? What guarantees your citizenship rights? The Constitution, the rule of law, & the institutions that protect them. If the regime breaks that rule of law by deporting non-citizens without trial or due process, defying court order, how safe are you?

Every American skipping over this violation of the law, and assuming this happens to 'people who deserve it/are dodgy somehow,' should realize that there is jack-all stopping them from doing the same thing to you next, if you shrug off the rule of law for people on visas.

FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.” Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College. Voters like politicians who make the right enemies.
