#StopTheShock The outlawing of torture & restoration of human rights for struggling, innocent, unjustly abused people should be non-negotiable in 2025

Garcia: It’s been hard to watch Republicans essentially be dragged into supporting disclosure and supporting the survivors.
This could end today if Donald Trump just released the files, and yet they’re refusing to do so.

Trump's ruthlessness is clear: he federalized 4,000 of our state's National Guard and sent 700 active duty Marines to threaten and invoke fear in the very people they have sworn to protect.
Wake up to what is going on in this country.

Their military has been drinking out of puddles and the food situation is terrible, according to some calls from the frontline to their homes. That was like a year ago.
Now on their last leg.
The “Russian bear” is nearly dead.

Someone from my class had brought this book in, back in 2009 😆
It has some interesting commentary on the #Russian military…
It hasn’t gotten better. Like, at all.
Worse, actually.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up.
If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer.
If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
