What in the actual hell are we doing, America?

When are we all going to wake up and realize that this is not some crackdown on criminals, that this is not a carefully planned and executed operation to make our streets safer?

When are we going to understand that we are not watching them face justice (whoever we imagine them to be)?

There is no them, there is no they, there is only us. We the f*cking People of this nation, are all in the crosshairs of this vile, corrupt fascist abomination, whether for our nation of origin or the color of our skin or what bathroom we use or what social services we rely on or what retirement benefits we’ve spent our lives paying into.

None of us is safe, and all of us are dependent on the rest of us. We are tethered together.

As news breaks this weekend that the Trump Administration is considering suspending habeas corpus, a legal procedure allowing people under the Law to challenge their detention in court, every single American who claims to be guided by faith, morality, or conscience should be deciding how they are going to step into the fight, which isn’t just a fight for families like the one whose terror was paraded through the streets and on the news—it is a brutal and bloody battle for the nation we want to be and the one we refuse to become.

So far American test results are not promising.
