So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

It's amazing how this radical "step too far" is how every law enforcement officer in the country operated for our entire history.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

The president can say something like “self defense,” “national security,” “war on terror,” “war on drugs,” something something “narco-trafficking” & instantly 1/3 of the population will assume any action is justified, even if results in the torture & death of countless civilians.

If I were a religious person, and my pastor was revealed to be acting director of an ICE field office, I wouldn't just protest before, during, and after services, I'd push to have the church deconsecrated.
What the pastor is doing is so profane that he's desacralized the space.

In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.

Toledo-Martinez answered a knock at his door to find a federal immigration agent posing as a construction worker, who claimed to have hit his car.
He went outside and another agent released the dog, which bit him repeatedly. Now Patty Murray calls for his release.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.
