If you have to throw out the essential rights and freedoms of human beings to feel secure in their bodies and their possessions in order to obtain political objectives, you know you are doing something WRONG.

The ends do not justify the means.

I will never accept that the country I live in is now contracting with another or other countries to forever detain people who have been deprived of their due process rights in a concentration camp ffs.

Unless you are white-skinned and have appropriate ID, you cannot feel secure in the streets, at home, at work or in your church.

This is an abomination.

This is white supremacy.

This is going backward to the days of KKK - even a thousand times worse.

Racism IS ignorance.

Every person who is cooperating with this injustice in any fashion should be abhorred, shunned, and publicly shamed. Public officials should be removed from office.

If white-skinned American citizens do not speak up and stand up to stop this, who can?

White-skinned American citizens need to take responsibility for permanently ending racism in this country now.

Donald Trump is trying to make us more like Russia because he is a creature of Russia.

The politics of eternity is full of phantasmagoria, of bots and trolls, ghosts and zombies and other unreal beings that escort a fictional character to power. “Donald Trump successful businessman” was not a person. It was a fantasy born in the strange climate where the American politics of inevitability, its unfettered capitalism, met the rising hydrocarbon fumes of the Russian politics of eternity, its kleptocratic authoritarianism. Russians raised a creature of their own to the presidency of the United States. Trump was the payload of a cyberweapon meant to create chaos and weakness, as in fact he has done. -Timothy Snyder ‘Road to Unfreedom’

The Worcester kidnapping was horrific. The so-called ICE agents wear gaiters that go up to their eyes, they have a variety of badges and most have no name tags. They marched a lone woman to the back of an unmarked SUV. They called the Worcester police to “protect” them from the people who had gathered around. The WPD told the crowd they were illegally assembled and to disperse, then when someone asked if the feds had a warrant they said ICE did not need warrants to arrest anyone. The woman’s 16 year old daughter was hysterical, crying and running after the van with her mother in it and the WPD threw her to the ground and arrested her for supposedly disturbing the peace and some other bogus charges. BTW the Worcester police say their policy is to not be involved with immigration arrests but they will circle the wagons to allow ICE to commit their dastardly deeds. The whole situation is literally making me sick, this happened about an hour away from where I live.

Why is there not a worldwide uprising and denunciation by the Jewish community, AIPAC and ADL against this blatant NAZI Jew, Stephen Miller..oh yeh Natanyahu. the Likkud, its allies and the settlers.?

While HAMAS is responsible for all that has befell Gaza, the Israeli right, the fascist settlers, the descendants of victims of pogroms and the holocaust are no different than the NAZI's.

A world gone mad.

You’re walking home from the local market and drugstore where you’ve just picked up a few supplies for dinner and your prescription renewal. Two sacks of groceries in your hands. Suddenly a car pulls up beside you and three men leap out. A cloth bag is jammed over your head, your arms are ziptied behind you, and you’re thrust, face down, into the back of the car. Several hours later the bag is removed just as you’re forced, with a long line of others onto an airplane. Nobody has talked to you about who they are or why you’ve been grabbed or about anything all. Nobody ever will until you’re completely out of the U.S. and on your way to Libya…or El Salvador…or Rwanda.

Your life is over.
