Look at the pictures and remember these people were basically kidnapped by the US Government with no due process and no evidence presented that they had committed any crimes. And the authorities say that none of them will ever be released from this prison where they provide slave labor. This is the USA trafficking people it doesn't like the look of into a lifetime of slavery and abuse.

As an American, this brings me much shame. With immigrate parents, and friends, this slipper slope we are on is already steep. But it can get steeper. And until, it hits home with some of these RED states, not enough pressure will be felt on representatives and congress. This is not the worst timeline but fuck, we are getting there. Some off these people are already living there’s though. Shameful.

It is quite hard to feel pressure from constituents when you refuse to do town halls and prolly have an intern deleting unflattering emails and calls. Fingers in ears "Lalalala"

Oh indeed. That’s why AOC flying into oppositions towns to speak to your people is one weapon that other dems can deploy. But most refuse and are party to the rigging of this game. Personally, I think now is of utmost importance we make it clear. You don’t do your job, you’re out. Just like any other average American doing any kind of work. Can you imagine the shit you and I would get if we didn’t show up to a company meeting just because we didn’t want to listen to company owner or boss. Livid. The double standards and lying.

Everyone should just assume that’s what’s fucking happening. In this situation moving forward, Republicans (and Democrats) are guilty until proven innocent.

I believe Bernie is doing that as well? We need to ensure PP does not get elected up here or we will start the same decline as you. At least we have some safeguards (unless a majority govt) that don't amount to counting on "Good people doing good things"
