There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Republicans in Congress are currently figuring out how to pay for a tax cut for their wealthy donors by stripping away healthcare for 16 million Americans and gutting SNAP that provides food to families--with 40% of people on SNAP being children. GOP will literally kill people to help rich donors!

Trump is itching to declare Los Angeles in a state of insurrection. Legal precedent and scholarly analysis emphasize that insurrection is not merely protest or disagreement with government policy, rather is a violent, organized action aimed at undermining or overthrowing the established order.

The most disturbing thing to me isn't the sadism, destruction, and open corruption of the Trump-Musk regime, but the utter passivity with which the American people are accepting it. Nobody really seems to care and that frightens me to death. In that respect, we really are reliving 1930s Germany.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.
