THREAD. PBS news recently aired a dangerous news segment, full of misinformation. The incident is not only embarrassing for PBS and Democrats, but it portends dark days for the future of our society that editors published it. People at the network should be doing some deep soul searching.

It's easy to lose perspective on how bizarre and dangerous this moment is. But man, "current president posts AI-generated video of himself grinning as he orders his predecessor hauled off to prison" is some fascist, dystopian shit.

you mean violence from ICE, the National Guard, and Border Patrol, right? because that’s the violence we’re seeing right now
Violence must stop, and we need to keep the focus on protecting fundamental rights.
There is nothing President Trump would like more than a violent confrontation with protestors to justify the unjustifiable — invocation of the Insurrection Act or some form of martial law.

"No one, inside or outside, deserves to be poisoned by prisons."
A grim reminder that prisons are an environmental injustice that hurt us all. And behind bars, people have zero defense against the toxins they are exposed to – including contaminated water.
