If cynicism means the fascists have won, then they've already won.
If being being clear-eyed about what's going on in the US doesn't make you cynical, then you either have no soul or no brain... Or both.

You cannot shame people who have consistently shown that they do NOT have the capacity for morality or empathy or respect for human dignity.
Morality is a process by which we determine good and bad. They think of it as a set of rules with which to bludgeon your political opponents.

There is no such thing as a moderate republican. It's a fascist party. To be a member of that party is to be an extremist.

Yes. I can see that you're lying, because I've seen the image you cultists have used to try to claim him.

This is why people need to stop deifying celebrities. Tyson is just a person. IDK if he's guilty, but if he is, it doesn't change astrophysics or undermine the joy of learning. You should be able to leave the celebrity behind if necessary and find another way to engage with science.

If Kilmar Abrego-Garcia doesn't have due process, then NOBODY in the US does.
How will you prove your citizenship? The right to defend yourself in court is part of due process.
Those who are OK with this think their skin color will protect them, but that only works temporarily.

That tiny, mediocre smartphone camera lens (and sensor) becomes a gigantic piece of premium glass and large format sensor when shooting at macro scale.
No need for tens of thousands worth of camera equipment! The smartphone actually looks professional.
