Read this story and decide if this is the America you want to live in. ICE saw a Latino man driving a car. Chased him down and rammed him. Just because he wasn’t white. He was just a guy - an American citizen - driving to the auto shop.

If the open source rumors are true, looks like Ukraine is facing an attack with hundreds of drones, dozens of aircraft, and at least 3 warships. Russia appears to be pooling their remaining conventional weapons for a large scale strike.

The ACLU weighed in on Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard as an “inflammatory abuse of power. This action puts Angelenos in harm’s way, exposes troops to legal and ethical consequences, and shreds a fundamental democratic principle, that the military has no place policing civilians.”

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

What Moran reported was demonstrable fact. Indisputable fact. Yet they suspend him. This is the advantage that Trump and his ilk have. They are so beyond the moral pale, so beyond normality, that it is considered impolite, impolitic, or intemperate to describe them as they are.
