I watched 60 minutes last night about the men who have disappeared and have been taken to El Salvador. It made me nauseous and I shedded many tears. I never thought I’d see America deliberately physically treat human beings so horribly. This is unacceptable. Something must give & soon!!
It’s an absolute disgrace and shame on anyone who voted for this evil.
I couldn’t agree more.
💯
"I never thought I’d see America deliberately physically treat human beings so horribly." 😶 wish I could say it's a first, in my lifetime.....
I can't stop thinking about it 😭
it's all unbearable Sheila. we must do our best to stay strong as we can. this is all intentional. they want to break us. i am exercising/deep breathing and taking rides to look at beauty. i will not be broken by these heinous people who are mentally ill starring rump/elmo. take care of yourself.
I will LuLu and thank you. I have my moments when I have to cry but I pull myself together. I’m glad to hear you’re taking care of yourself sweet friend. Please continue to do so 💖
i cry, too. i jog and lift some weights, deep breathe and hug myself, too...also, try forcing a smile and jump up and down and swing your arms..actually helps cheer you up..
Arrest Rubio, Bondi, Hegseth, Waltz, and Gabbard. That's a start.
Not surprised when we saw what he did to children his first term.
This!!
Not America, but American Nazi cunts. And they sent them to a concentration camp outside the country, just like Hitler.
Me too! It's tragic 😥
When this is over people need to be prosecuted for these crimes. I’m talking American government officials.
It feels like war crimes. Atrocities committed without a war.
Assuming this will ever be over. They will not give up the power they have taken.
This is a very good point. I’d add, if the Repubs do eventually serve their four years, and the Dems do take power, they 99% will NOT eliminate ICE or DOGE. One govt gains power, it never lets it go. Sad fact of history; also the Dems co-signed the Patriot Act et al that allows for this crap. 🫤
You didn't see the Vietnam & Iraq war documentaries?
There are many terrible laws that have sat unsused for a long time, just waiting for a true monster to take office and reawaken them. The same laws that permitted thee Japanese Internment are live right now, and Congress has abdicated it's powers and oversight.
Ehhhh, Abu Ghraib? Guantanamo? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghr... 🖕🇺🇸
Here’s hoping they throw someone in jail if they fail to return Garcia today! It will open the door for others. This has to stop! 🙏🏻
I Appreciate the news coverage from Meidastouch , The Bulwark, Michael Popok, Pondering Politics, Michael Steele, Jack, Adam, Luke, and all the truth tellers & keepers of the eternal flame of Democracy🔥 honorable mention this week👏60 Minutes.
They are taking 3rd graders out in handcuffs For Gods sake! Kids will be damaged for life.

Same-I got sick.
Outside looking in. Sad to say it has been a common theme in the US and in living memory
It breaks my heart
So unacceptable.
We have to prepare for the worst. We are in the beginning of a fascist government and we must prepare to defend ourselves. Tyranny is here and we must be ready.
If I recall, we fought whole damn world war that also revealed this was happening in Germany. The atrocities of that time have returned, as if we have FORGOTTEN what we promised we would never forget.
Indigenous Peoples have entered the chat……..
If they can do this to them, they can do it to dissidents who are citizens
That is the point I think must be emphasized. The next step will undoubtedly be naturalized citizens. They will create an inaccuracy on the application and then denying due process ship them to another country.
He has already mentioned using the military on citizens who do not support him.
It’s why I suggest to protesters to keep them peaceful.. DONT give him an excuse

I’ve been a speaker when launching a new academy in Eastern Europe in the late 90s for a fledging democracy. The government collapsed while I was speaking. Unfortunately, some of the same benchmarks are visible now in the US. Not sure how and when martial law happens but there are red flags.
What would a peaceful protest even do against someone willing to do these acts?
He called them vermin… America will never wipe the stain from history. Except, if republicans have their way there will be no record of it!!
ACLU cases are going to SCOTUS. Please send email to them (pio@supremecourt.gov) they may be our last hope to stop this administration. Ask them to decide between right and wrong. The people are watching. The Constitution is waiting for their defense. Ask them to protect the nation, not its rulers.
Guantanamo Bay...
We need due process for every single one of them. I've said it from the very beginning. Even if one of them has committed a crime, FUCKING PROVE IT. They still deserve a fair trial.
This isn't new stuff. The US has been doing this for years, unfortunately. Just look at how it put so many Black men into the prison system where according to the constitution, slavery is still legal.
Or the years where the US government experimented and/or sterilized native populations here and abroad without their permission.
Look up Philadelphia Move 1985.
Nothing is going to give until there's a nationwide revolt against this regime. People need to take it to the street.
Abu Graib was just a warm up.
If they can do it to them, they can do it to any one of us.
Shameful
I absolutely appreciate the sentiment... "I never thought I’d see America deliberately physically treat human beings so horribly." But this is a country built on slavery, who did Japanese Internment Camps during WWII, and has consistently violated the Civil Rights of many for years.
We're just much further down the rabbit hole of white supremacy fascism than we have been recently, and Nazis haven't fully taken over America in the way they are doing right now, completely ignoring all checks & balances.
We need to do something soon.
It's a war crime.
The ‘First they came for’ poem is playing on repeat in my head.
Same. That is why we must speak out and stand in protest. There are so many wrongs that must be righted. We can’t give them any slack. 👊🏻
Jeez. Where have you been? A long history of intervening with sovereign nations with similar consequences. We see you
And the callous lack of concern to send non-violent people to become slaves in some foreign country. ICE agents all the way up to Pam Bondi need to be arrested and if convicted of crime, serve long prison sentences for this.
I know you mean well, Sheila and what is happening to Brown folks in the US right now is terrible...however, don't forget that the US has been treating Black Americans horribly since the founding of the US (and before). None of it is right. And it is all worthy of our outrage.

I know…. Resist….fight legally… We are not alone…you are not alone…
Don't hold your breath 😢
Make no mistake, this is only the beginning. Dissidents and protesters are next. Papers please.
And they won’t stop at brown folks. He’s already said he wants to ship Americans to that concentration camp. What he means is white people.
I say you’re right.
Stand up for what you believe with everyone who needs to hear it.
Apparently you have forgotten all about what Americans did to Natives and about Slavery.
America has treated human beings horribly for centuries. Founded on the genocide of one race and the enslavement of another. It does make one nauseous and wonder when it will ever end. I'm truly sorry you are just seeing this now. Some of us have generational trauma because of it. Stay strong.
You’re going to be shocked when you learn about how the Indigenous population was treated.
I agree we along with Russia have become the shining example of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. It’s shameful.
