We are witnessing the modern equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria
The reckless destruction of knowledge, heritage, hard work, and brilliance just to watch it all burn
ICE has fired shots in 16 enforcement or protest related incidents since July and each time the Trump admin said it was justified. 10 people were hit, 4 were US citizens, and 3 were killed. That’s just on the streets. What do you think is happening inside their detention centers?
#EthanHawke says he’s never felt afraid to speak his mind “until the last couple of years.”
“There’s a fear in the air that I’ve never felt before — and it’s not America,” Hawke told Variety on Monday night at Sundance. “To be an artist in a free country is a privilege. I don’t feel that way anymore. And that has to change.”
Rogan: ICE are villains. And they're masked up, which is also a problem, right? Because if you get arrested by a cop, you, you're allowed to ask the cop, what is your name and badge number. If you get arrested by an ICE agent, you have no such right. They're wearing a mask. They don't have to tell you shit.
Anne Frank was forced into hiding in Nazi Germany because armed soldiers were going door to door demanding papers, and if your papers said you were Jewish, they captured you and sent you to a camp.
Today Anne would've been 99 years old. This was not that long ago.
Joe Rogan just said the quiet part out loud:
A man brought here as a baby. Lived in the U.S. for 20 years. Can’t speak Spanish. No criminal record. Deported anyway.
That’s not “border security.”
That’s ripping people out of the only country they’ve ever known and dumping them in a place that isn’t home.
Kamlager-Dove: Nobody said that about the January 6ers, did they? So, they didn’t comply. You know what they got for not complying with the law? A pardon from Trump. And dozens of them have gone out to commit additional crimes. So, I am so sick of the hypocrisy and the bullshit.
The current situation with US science reminds me of Asimov's Foundation series: an anti-intellectual mob takes over society and all the scientists can do is preserve the knowledge in the hope that it will one day end.
When you’re on Team Trump and you just walked past a full length mirror, then pause and take a step back and the truth is staring you right in the face.
Thanks to the late great George Carlin a man ahead of his time.

ICE uses a tactic called the "death box", surrounding your car and giving conflicting orders. In the Renee Good video taken closer up, you hear one of them say "get the fuck out of here" and another saying "get out of the car." It's designed to confuse you. It’s intentional. If you move in any direction they shoot you. It’s pre planned murder.
#AbolishICE before it’s too late.

Reminder: On his first day in office, Trump pardoned 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters. More than 600 had been charged with assaulting, resisting, or obstructing law enforcement, including about 175 accused of using deadly or dangerous weapons or causing serious injury to officers.
Hitler didn’t begin with camps. He began with nationalist revival slogans, attacking the press, banning books, scapegoating immigrants, demonizing educators, gutting the arts, and turning neighbors into enemies... just like what we're seeing in America today.
The right wants us to believe that a teen who showed up at a Wisconsin rally with an AR-15 and shot three people is a peacekeeper who deserves to be celebrated, but an unarmed mom driving away from a Minnesota rally was a domestic terrorist who deserved to die.
