MAGA can you explain why the 2nd amendment is so sacred but the first amendment is a shoulder shrug. You want to be sure it applies to you but the “other” in this country don’t get to claim rights to all the amendments. .

This is not my president, or my government.

The fascist shift in America is appalling and terrifying. Who's next on their list? It could be anyone, for no reason at all. Intellectuals (writers, teachers, etc.), actors who are well known for their activism, LGBTQ Americans, people who were born in China... there is no line this regime will not cross.

The vid of her abducting makes my blood run cold. So did the description of her imprisonment.

A student newspaper doesn’t reach many people outside campus (although thanks to Rubio’s gestapo), many more will read it now. Of course, how many read her oped isn’t the point. The point is freedom of speech is a Constitutionally protected right for everyone on our shores. Rubio’s attitude towards these students is ‘shut up and go to class.’ That’s not what this country is all about, Marco!

I’m just so ashamed of America right now. The backwardness, ignorance, & lack of common decency is stunning.

Reading again about how PAB and Blondi are talking about sending citizens to black sites but "only the worst of the worst". I thought the ban on cruel and unusual punishment in the Constitution applied to all citizens? Even the "worst of the worst" need to be treated humanely.

Ta, Gary. This Jewess is about as anti-Bibi as it's possible to be. He is, like Putin, a war criminal. He, like Putin, targets innocent civilians. It's a terror tactic, and I am NOT here for it. If that means I'm not patriotic to a dipshit like son-of-immigrants Rubio, come get me, bro.

There is quite a bit of info online about who is doing the dirty work for the Immigration and Customs Gestapo. This whole thing is sooo not good and will eventually blow back in the face of the people doing the dirty.

After WWII, there were lots of immigrants coming to the US. There were definitely "good" and "bad" labels depending upon whether they came from the white part of Europe or the Eastern/Southern part.

As a kid, this seemed really weird.

The racism isn't new.

Racists just have permission to be themselves now, no barrier or shame attached.

Her actions “had an adverse effect on policy”??? How many foreign leaders do you suppose read student newspapers?

And how much effect on policy did it have, given that it was directed at the university administration?

“ The government isn’t prepared for the huge influx of unfortunate people caught in the Trump administration’s ramped-up deportation regime.”

Of course, like everything else in the Krasnov regime, it’s being done in the most half-assed manner possible with the least amount of preparation done before the mad king hereby demands his orders be implemented.

Not that it matters overall, but the U.S. government has NEVER give a single watery shit about detainee conditions.

Now, is this shadowy group pro-Israel, or pro-Likud? The difference is not subtle.

Call Murkowski, Collins, Cassidy, and McConnell, and urge them to GET IT TOGETHER and start caucusing with the Dems in order to elect Schumer the Senate leader -- in order to start putting the brakes on scump. (This is Bill Kristol's idea; he argues for 4 gops in each chamber to caucus with Dems in order to shift leadership to Dems and rein in scump; he didn't name names, but those are the most "reasonable" sens.)

Ask them: What the fkkk ar they waitng for? Do they not grasp that if they wait much longer, the US will be broken to a degree that will make repairing it impossible for 50 years?
