And yet people keep saying it. They say “but I still love you” so earnestly.
And I say “No. You don’t. Love isn’t a magical feeling that exists in a vacuum. It’s what you do. It’s helping instead of harming.”

Precisely what they want. A firehose of loyalty with no moral quandary, ethical concerns, or competency to get in the way of following their own worst instincts and their bosses’ most despicable orders.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
