Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

        most journalists stop doing this decades ago and the ones who still do it find themselves in prison or deplatformed.

          Thankfully cable news is not as relevant as it once was… more so as the boomers retire and are unable to watch tv anymore

            youtube, facebook, et al. deplatforms at a SIGNIFICANTLY higher rate than cable news or any legacy media does.

              And? There are way better news sources than Facebook and YouTube but independent online news sources are more popular than tv news if I’m not mistaken.

      This might enrage you but it’s far from “bait.”

      It’s reality.

      Be better than the average Dotard Nazi PR team, please. Words matter.

        Well, by calling me a dotard and nazi, you just destroyed any interest I have in helping americans, none of whom seem interested in helping themselves.

          Read what I say carefully before you turn your anger towards a potential ally.

          I didn’t call you a dotard or a Nazi or a dotard Nazi. I said be better than them. I even said “please.”

            Not angry. I would describe my feelings as indifference, perhaps sadness that americans care so little for their fellow citizens and other humans, that they feel all the stuff being done to them is OK and no need to pay attention. the warning about republicans, frump and the Theil/Vance/Musk tech bros was crystal clear, but nothing was done. In my opinion it is no longer salvageable and the inevitable outcome is americans shooting each other, reaching a school shooting level, where your assault weapons ( all of which are legal ) are used to clinical effect.

              I know it’s easier to apply your schema for America to every citizen but there are people that don’t agree with any of this and literally fear for their lives.

              almost half of us americans didn’t vote because we were either denied due to voter suppression or refused to the accept either pro-genocide candidate.

              half of us is roughly equivalent to 6.2 austrialias.
