America is now a place that sends masked secret police to abduct people off the street and uses prisoners to create government propaganda.

And this all happened in 8 weeks. www.thebulwark.com/p/this-is-th...
This Is the Land of Wolves Now
Masked agents snatching people off the street. Government officials using caged prisoners for propaganda videos. We are the villains.

Trump does extortion, Musk bribery
One doesn't have to be a political scientist, economist, or lawyer to understand why this is corrosive to our constitutional democracy.

Today the US Administration incompetently tried to seize control of the Institute of Peace—an organization that is not part of the government, and over which it has no authority.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

I’d just like to state for the record that we’re not too far removed from a time when it would be expected for a politician to issue a statement distancing themselves from this.
A man chased down and choked a journalist in Colorado, demanding to see their ID and berating them about their nationality

A truly important (and obvious, even banal) point that really can’t be stressed enough: sometimes majorities get things really really wrong!
"54% of Britons who voted leave, including 59% of voters in “red wall seats”, said in exchange for single market access they would now accept full free movement for EU and UK citizens to travel, live and work across borders." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/12/majority-of-brexit-voter…

This is a GREAT IDEA.
Here's an idea for the Democrats: Have a victim or two of Assad's torture chambers testify at Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing.
Watching the people who were tortured by Assad…. And my anger for @TulsiGabbard defending him grows hotter.

Every senator that votes yes on her is complicit
