They trusted me to carry Smoky Bear's matches, 1977-2013.
That's what I'm saying.
There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.
If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

I think this is going to be worse than the depression. Instead of having a president trying to get us out of it we’ll have someone actively trying to make it worse all while lying and calling it a golden age

Trump administration HATES Veterans.
The suicide rate has skyrocketed but they won’t report it.
VA Crisis line was down this week due to the shutdown and phones out.
They want Veterans to die.
Republicans are all on board.

As millions prepare to march, Trump shrugs, the media dozes, and democracy wonders if polite protest is still enough. The next phase may have to make ignoring us impossible.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.
You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
