I would like to be wrong abt this. I would like for white conservatism to accept dissent & respect the rights & ideas of others. I would love to live in an actual democracy. Until we actually address the problem of chronic right wing lawlessness, however, all the rest is just wishful thinking.
This is it.

I’ve been around & worked with local & state law enforcement agencies for a long time. I’ve never — not once — seen one refuse to investigate an officer-involved shooting, particularly a fatal shooting. It’s standard procedure & critical for public trust.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

The original concentration camps didn't start as death camps. But they did kill a lot of people through neglect, malnutrition, disease, and individual murders.

I think there is some information in there that isn't familiar to a lot of people. Including that the US is currently holding three times as many people in immigration detention as were detained in the entire Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich.

It is crazy. There was a ton of Epstein coverage about Trump covering it up, and it was really hurting Trump, and then it all just stopped. They passed a law, Trump's DOJ broke the law and refused to comply in an effort to cover for Trump and, as always, the media just moved on.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies.
And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on.
Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

Yeah, but why is inflation so persistent? 🤷🏻♂️
