If you don't at least talk about this with your acquaintances and express how it needs to end you're no better than the Germans who acted like they couldn't hear or smell what was happening at Auschwitz
The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

And when Hallow App ran into the EU's GDPR privacy laws and couldn't just trawl user personal info and metadata for Thiel's Antichristic plutocratic purposes, they made a big fake-ass hullabaloo about how the "globalist liberal EU bureaucrats" are "persecuting us poor Christians"
Oh, is Hallow Thiel-backed?

It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.
As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.

About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
