Americans, and I don't say this to be rude but more to say reflect on yourself. I'm not saying I'd be a hero. I'm not saying we'd all know what to do or do better, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of working class solidarity as even a figment of the American psyche is seems.
Anyway, getting off track.
What has America done on the path all the way the brought us to today, and what have you done, your state, your municipality. Community, whatever. From the outside looking in it doesn't seem like a lot, and even now while trump casually casts aside clear restraints and limits on power established in the courts and constitution. Daily behaves like a tinpot dictator, and goes unopposed, because nobody says boo.
It's illegal, doesn't matter he does it
It's unconstitutional, says who? He does it.
He's taking your people in the night, with unmarked soldiers, working outside the law, but it keeps happening. And that's your citizens .
The treatment of non citizens, of any status now seems to be treated the same. With suspicion and bias, and the threat of deportation to be hung above them to keep them in line. I say non citizens, but many citizens and green card holders are caught up in this. People have been jailed for weeks without contact with lawyers or family, this is PREPOSTEROUS in America, it's lunacy. It is vile and cruel and a betrayal of the values your nation was supposed to uphold.
Even citizens now are expected to stay inline or shut up, not to criticize the emperor and by extension all his little royal henchdweebs. Your social medias will be scoured 5 years thence, so ordered
And you seem to largely be allowing this to go on occuring, in many cases without much let or hindrance.
Is this the America you want and if not please do something.
Signed, a concerned Canadian.
What about Serbia though
We are causing some uh stirring, but I have a feeling if our president gets overthrown, some right-wing grifter will use this as an opportunity to hop on.
If not us then who? If not now then when?
His evil acts are being done on our behalf and with our power. I agree it should piss off every American to be associated with it.
We have a duty to at least say it. A duty to tell our reps and senators. Our state goveners and legislators. Our mayors and councils. Our employers and coworkers. To tell them to reject complicity with unconditional acts, with ethnic cleansing, with the genocide. To call for protections at any level we can. To call for the removal from office of anyone that is complicit.
We have the power. People are acting, but it needs to be any concionable person, any person who will be or someone they now will be affected by a government violating let alone failing to protect human rights.
