This is a test for national Democrats. 📝 Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Every day this is not somehow stopped, it becomes more dangerous and difficult to turn around.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to
