This Memorial Day, I’d like to honor someone who never served; doesn’t care about a single American, save himself; is destroying my country from every side; and is not dead. Yet.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

You can't sue the government if postal workers accidentally drop the glassware you ordered or lose a letter from your pen pal The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that this means you also can't sue if postal workers refuse to deliver your mail because you're Black ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/posta...

Like if Sam Altman invents a magic box that will provide huge benefits for everyone, and he's sitting in front of it with a toll booth, you say "Sorry Sam we're taking your magic box for public use."

I think we need to contract Google to develop the next iteration of the American government. Completed modernization of the American system to bring it technologically in line with how Americans live today. An equitable distributed ledger system, secure and accessible everywhere through technology.

"The Democrats are pushing reforms that they know won’t work because they are doing performative, perfunctory opposition to try to quiet their base, instead of real legislating and fighting to dismantle Trump’s ICE and CBP." newrepublic.com/article/2059...

newrepublic.comSenate Democrats’ ICE Proposals Are a Huge and Inexcusable WhiffTheir opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.
