Isn’t that what the Nazis did to their prisoners, shave their heads. It’s a form of dehumanization on purpose.

I read it too, and it really touched me in a profound way.

Like really really profound.

"I'm not a gang member, I'm a barber 😢. 😢. 😢"

OMG it just breaks your heart.

I only wished the story was longer, much longer.

I also thought, now here is a story that will never get published in the Washington Post. They will not buy the photographers pictures and publish them and publish the first person account of what happened on the other side. You won't find this at the Washington Post.

Yes. You've made a great case for abandoning legacy media and coming here for the truth. Good for you!

It breaks my heart to see what this despicable administration is trying to do to the American people. They are trying to break our spirit. But that is when I fight back. Some people have said these are the end times. The whole world has gone crazy. There are protests in Turkey and riot police were turned on the people. Netanyahu is bombing Palestine. I don't know if these are the end times. I just know I will not stop fighting against the evil MAGA people. My voice as small as it is will be heard.

Our small voices combined are a very loud voice of resistance. I hope to have the strength to continue to speak up to my end on this earth. I am not wealthy, but I am a human with empathy and moral compass.

Exactly. Forcing them to strip their clothing and wear prison garb, the crude buzz cuts, being shackled and physically abused. These actions all follow the Nazi playbook. I doesn’t matter what these individuals were accused of, they are entitled to due process under the Constitution. Utterly disgraceful and inhumane.

I fear we are heading for civil war. There are rumors that Trump will establish martial law April 20.

Fear nothing. His threats are not stemming the flow of the Resistance led by MTN and the Meidas Mighty. Fear is what MAGA is exhibiting and they have every right to be fearful. They are losing. America is winning.

Stay the course. Never give up the ship (of Democracy and Freedom!)

Fortune--good or bad--has nothing to do with overcoming evil. Action, on the other hand, has everything to do with demanding change. Eyes on the prize!

But, but! We knew Tramp was a snake when we/they picked him up!" Are we surprised at the level of inhumanity, cruelty and pure evil? We shouldn't be.

I recall reading about a once-powerful Pharaoh who had a son. His heart was

stone cold until ...
