If you think they can’t go lower, always remember: there is no bottom, and some people will still try to find it.
Yes. This is why you should beware of people who speak of the lessons or verdict of history as if future students of evil will always judge it harshly rather than glorify and aspire to it. If history teaches anything it is that history will not conform to your pleasant delusions at some later date.
Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.

Dear all saying no worries, Trump can't round up 10M immigrants because their work is needed for the US economy: please, remember that MOST of the camps in Germany from 1938 were "Arbeitslager" - labor camps. Deporting people is hard. But locking people up and making them work, that's been done. 1/

Hey folks!
With new people joining, I want to highlight the Bipolar community here. It's been fantastic to have these convos and very helpful to me.
This infographic was made with input from the community - just one example! Meanwhile, I'm going to post feeds and call some folks out in comments!

Never be cruel nor cowardly. Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.
Keep remembering:
Don’t let cruelty make you cruel.
(Being cruel to or wishing cruelty on people who supported the cruel person is still cruelty.)

This just in from Amnesty International: "U.S. authorities must immediately release journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Journalism is not a crime. Reporting on protests is not a crime. Arresting journalists for their reporting is a clear example of an authoritarian practice."

If I see you use this word, I'll block you. If you use it "satirically" I'll block you. Using it at all today is a really fine test of character.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.
Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

Washington state leads in holding the Trump Administration accountable because we work hard to anticipate what will happen.
We're preparing for a range of actions by ICE and the federal government.

If a spineless lickspittle like Lyin’ Ted Cruz says something like this even in private, we’re headed somewhere new. What he’s saying in private is what others are thinking.
