This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

If you, like myself and many others, are a naturalized citizen who has been critical of Trump, I think it's time to delete all socials and go into hiding. If you can leave, leave, if you can't do whatever you can to stay off their radar and stay safe. I feel sick.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

This is why we say it's all billionaires. It didn't even take a month and Mark here is in love with the idea of extorting a sovereign nation for its resources if it doesn't want to be annexed by a hostile power.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

So it's over right? Hes disobeying the judges. He controls congress, so they won't help. The military isn't going to help. It's just over. We are captives in our own nation and the general public is just acting like it's normal.
