Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism'

We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman

So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial?
Then posted it on social media?

And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?

Our government tried to send a planeful of unaccompanied minors to Guatemala without due process. Fortunately a judge was able to block it before they took off.

What fucking monsters the United States has become. Trafficking innocent children.

People who want to protect "The Sanctity of Marriage" are always people who voted for a man who raped his first wife, deserted his family of three young children to run off with one of his mistresses, deserted her and their child for another mistress, and then cheated on her with a porn actress. 🤔

Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado.

Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

He fled persecution. He gave food to the needy. "He’s been faithfully appearing at ICE appointments for more than four years ... He was complying with everything he’s supposed to do. All of a sudden, he’s detained."

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on the ICE arrest of a carpenter named Jesus.
His Name Is Jesus. He’s a Carpenter. ICE Arrested Him.
