Do not forget that Trump's first action was to release 1,500 violent criminals who once fought for him and now owe him. So in true gangster regime style, he started all this with an army of thugs who could threaten, overtly or tacitly, anyone (and their families) in his way. GOP capitulation anyone?

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

The distinction between what is considered humanely right and wrong, on so many levels, by Trump's Administration, backers and MAGA vs. the rest of us is beyond belief. How did the U.S., that was still loved by most only 10 years ago, despite its history, put such horrid people in power?
Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Trump is showing is true colors these past few days in forcing U.S. children to go without food. I wonder if he will be showing how he truly feels about Vets and be going to go to Arlington Nat'l Cemetery today and piss on some graves?

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Cowards? Absolutely, but also dealing with their consciouses because they know what they are doing is so morally wrong, so wrong, in fact, that they sense it is probably illegal so yet another reason to hide themselves for the future when actusl justice returns on this country.
There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.
