To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities.

    It’s funny how so many people are willing to write letters but none of these powerful people are willing to go there, see for themselves what’s happening and speak about it.

    They all talk big but they never, ever put themselves anywhere near harms way. Not even politically, let alone physically.

    Everyone knows the “all it takes for bad to prevail is for good people to do nothing” quote or whatever it is. The Democrats are the living embodiment of that saying. As long as they get re-elected and still have their money they couldn’t care less.

      Pretty sure no rich and powerful people would actually be in harm’s way, even if they did go there.

      It’s all performative so they get their 5 minutes in the headlines without doing anything of substance. They had their chance to legislate protections against big money in politics and prevent this fascist dictatorship, but like all neo-liberals chose to do the bare minimum to be reelected.
