I’m walking past humvees in the the nation’s capital, seeing viral images of Black and brown people being disappeared by masked agents in broad daylight, and Trump is saying law enforcement should “knock the hell out of” them. But the trending debate is over words Dems shouldn’t say. I hate it here.

  1. I never gave a damn about that stupid list some idiot compiled. Talk about irrelevant for the times we live in! We Democrats have bigger fish to fry than words that tiny subgroups of soreheads find offensive.

  2. It's the perfect day to release the Epstein files and the Trump flight logs! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

  3. While I'm all for resisting language, why did 'disappeared' stick? Was kidnapped taken? Or was that word 'disappeared'? Or enslaved? Or trafficked? Or sex-trafficked? Or 'trumped'? So many better choices...

  4. The former is far more important, of course.

    But I'm with Nichols, too. Some of that language needs to be disappeared immediately.

    Both/and is better than either/or.

  5. I can't tolerate the violence he has brought out everywhere. People are terrified to even go to the store. Kids are terrified to go to school & he is so EVIL HE IS ENJOYING IT, THINKING HE IS A BIG MAN NOW. SHITLER WANNABE is nothing but CRUEL. RUINING ANY PROGRESS MADE IN THIS COUNTRY.

  6. You have my prayers Kimberly. The hope now is that this can be contained by those with a conscience and not allowed to spread nationwide. Courage is demanded in this moment. Someone must stand up to Trump.

  7. It doesn’t inspire much confidence that we’ll be coming back from this anytime soon, if ever. Luckily, the world is a big place, and you still have options, for now. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Live to fight another day.

  8. I remember when I was so proud of America, and felt so proud to be an American. I want that back for my kids and grandkids.

  9. I understand the idea people should speak plainly but if using an adjective causes you to throw out principles or throw in w a crowd that causes u to discard your principles you never really had principles in the 1st place.

  10. Looking in from the outside, what I see is Dems, liberals, leftists independents all trying to put each other into little boxes they can disagree with, while their country has now become a fascist state. Setting the right priority and thinking strategically and tactically seems to be beyond them.
