MLK: "History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period...was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people"
The "appalling silence of the good people" has long inspired me to speak out. We need more of that today!

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Velazquez: The American people are upset. They did not sign on for this. The most fundamental principle for the American people is fairness and humane policies, not beating the shit out of people, especially vulnerable women and children.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

When you elect Democrats and things like this happen there is an investigation, charges and termination. Instead with MAGA Republicans they get bonuses. We are not the same.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
