WTAF? Just plain cruelty.
Love you back!
most unqualified, incompetent, FBI director on earth, in earth's history.
The most corrupt administration in our history.
please watch:
"I'd like to share a story from a local paper in Coldwater, Michigan dated to the 9th of April, 1945. It tells how the US Army, under General Patton--the US 3rd Army--came onto what you might call a detention center just outside the village of Ohrdruf, Germany. The US Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A US Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes, without muttering a word, that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was (quote) 'done by a few people, and you cannot blame us all.' And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said, 'this was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.' The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought, 'how is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'this site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew--as we do--that we are all responsible for what happens in our community. I urge the council to take action to stop, or stall, or at the barest minimum to think creatively about how to exercise oversight over this proposed ICE facility. Thank you."
This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):
Me: "Fine—even though that's NOT your actual reason for screaming about this: fully lockable single-user bathrooms are actually safest for *everybody*, so let's build some more of them."
Terfs: "no, too expensive!!"
Ah. Good to see what safety is in fact worth to you.
Just a bully, after all
Write. Something. Today.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

OK? But apparently you do get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US if you’re a foreign head of state with ties to Trump’s inner circle..."

Trump pardoned a real drug dealer.

His breathing was shallow, barely controlled. “You shouldn’t have come back,” he growled. “You should’ve stayed gone.”
