For all the tweets...this is not our America, sadly it is in our history. I am heartbroken once again that we are repeating it.

in the worst ways they can think of

General Jacob Hurd Smith (January 29, 1840 – March 1, 1918) was a United States Army officer notorious for ordering an indiscriminate retaliatory attack on a group of Filipinos during the Philippine–American War, in which American soldiers killed between 2,500 and 50,000 civilians.[1][2] His orders included, "kill everyone over the age of ten" and make the island "a howling wilderness."[3] Court-martialed for the incident,[1] he was dubbed "Hell Roaring Jake" Smith, "The Monster", and "Howling Jake" by the press as a result.[4]

Good for Senator Feinstein!

This is all just rolling so fast - it is shocking to believe it is happening here - the United States of America.
Remember when that meant something good?

This "MAGA" thing is just SO wrong - and we're watching it happen and we don't have the people to stand up and stop it!!!!!

Come on, DEMS! Yes, you elected representatives of your people. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

WE need to GOTV - it may be our last chance to save that which we believe TRULY made America great.

RESISTANCE must be now...

"This is the United States of Germa....I mean This is the United States of America.....". I was sucking an Otter Pop and almost gagged when I laughed out loud, "What a Freudian slip!".

Just what I was urging a few "clicks" up!

Where is the moral outrage from our "leaders?"

Perhaps I've missed something (I've been out of the loop for the past few days) but I'd LOVE to see some major headline that would show some serious outrage being demonstrated by our Democratic leadership - not just a "tweet" or "issued statement" - a serious action taken by our "leaders!"

Sometimes it has to be detonated.

The Dems should be lockstep and in total unison on this matter.

100%, period.

I want to see every elected member of our party speaking out, loud and clear. Now.

The MSM loves a car wreck, so they cover Shitler 25/7, while Dems step up to podiums, tweet, post and protest with little if any attention from the media.

Things yet happen and people yet speak regardless of whether we ourselves see them or hear them.

I know many here have been complaining that 'none of out leaders are fighting back,' and such.
And of course you are right, it is not true.

BUT there are 192 Dems in the House and 44 dems and indies in the senate.
Plus state reps plus governors, plus, plus...
In my view they ALL need to speak out in some way..

The country should be flooded with their resistance....

I remember when the media clamored to get a shot of 3 loony teabaggers protesting on a street corner. But when tens of thousands showed up a few months ago in my red county, along with local Dem representatives, to protest Trump on the anniversary of the Women's March, it got no attention.

But do people blame the for profit media who likes to run click-bait stories about crazy people, like Shitler? No, they blame Democrats!!!





Many people seem to believe if it's not being covered by the media, it's not happening. That is so wrong.

We ARE all fighting for the same thing - an explosion of moral outrage.
I truly appreciate the collection you put together - as I had stated, I've been out of the loop for the past few days - thank you.

But what I'd love to see is an explosion - a massive demonstration - a groundswell of protest against this wholly un-American policy.
We need to take the fight to them - and we need to win.

This is a perfect opportunity - a great place to show moral leadership - and we cannot let the moment pass.

see our Dems Speaking Out ALL OVER The PLACE.

Because sane people saying sane things is boring. The for profit media needs train wrecks and click bait. That is why they cover Shitler 24/7.

Yet some choose to blame Democrats and accuse them of not speaking out. They apparently believe if the media is not covering it, it must not be happening.

Not everyone is covering it. They will have no choice but to give more coverage as the outrage grows.

You did say you have been out of the loop.

Do you want them to stop by your house and tell you personally?

Anything to stop this latest outrage.

(You can save the snarky comments for the GOP, though)

Not everyone needs to in front of a camera 24/7. I would prefer them getting this done in the chambers.

BUT, few people in this country even know what those bills are.

The guy who painted my deck last week has absolutely NO IDEA what is happening.... nada !!
You better believe he does now. I told him !

It is the 'marketing,' if you will..terrible term.. I can;t think of the better one...

Yes, get in front of a camera.. get in newspapers, social media, billboards, posters, I don;t know everythning visible.

It's the MSM that denies them a platform. They are fighting for us big time.

All the MSM does is cover Shitler 24/7, while Dems step up to microphones, tweet, post and protest with little if any attention from the media.

And instead of blaming the media, many blame Democrats!!!! Trump and Putin must be so proud.

Era locusts, and DEMAND the release of the captive children?

Think THAT would get their attention?

Obviously, not advocating violence, but ... some 'hey, we're not fucking around' righteous INTIMIDATION ... you know, Malheur-style ... if you follow me ... just might be called for here if this isn't properly addressed ... PROMPTLY.

And I don't mean 50 dumb yahoo's, I mean like 5,000 ... GOOD PEOPLE, on the side of LIGHT.

to stop it, but what else is in it might be the problem.

the GOP did

Good now get rid of these regime esp Bannon and Stephen Miller

And no sane human being can deny that that's where we are heading. And we're almost there.

Trump, the Republican Party, and the deplorables will never "get it."

The rest of us already know.

Good for Feinstein. Now we need every Democratic in the House and Senate to echo her words.

Maybe, just maybe, the vast majority of Americans will "get it" before it's too late.

And if most get it, what's to be done? Whatever is necessary.

She's usually so calm and measured with her words. She chooses her words carefully.

If she's thinking Nazi Germany, millions in the country are, too. And around the world.

This is going to burn the Trump admin big-time.

thank you Ms. Feinstein.

What is more important? To punish the criminal or deprive his/her child of a parent?

"Trabajo te hace libre" is posted above the gates to all those re-purposed Wal Marts?

Points out we have done this a lot in American history; Took slave children and sold them, took American Indian children and sent them to special schools, and etc.

Maybe we need to stop with this rose colored history as well, so that MAGA won't sound so appealing to people. America has always been one of the most racist nations on Earth.
