What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.

Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

The richest family in the United States, the Waltons, made money by not paying Walmart employees enough. This forced employees to seek government assistance for food and healthcare.
Republicans’ response is to take away that assistance because the Waltons aren’t rich enough.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits.
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Rinse and repeat.

The modern US right was built out of outraged responses to a handful of stories about federal actions like Ruby Ridge & Waco. What we're witnessing with these vicious ICE attacks is dozens of sadistic, draconian, & often fatal actions PER DAY, & it's that same US right that's now cheering them on.
WHOA. Sit with this excerpt. When ICE arrested the 75-year-old who died in their custody, he had a dog with him, Chulo, whose previous owner had already been taken by ICE.
ICE officers left Chulo loosely tied outside the humane society. He then got free and was hit by a car.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
