I was a small and sheltered child during the civil rights struggle, but this ICE crisis gives me a glimpse of how caring adults felt. The horror resides along hope for a fundamental change, and increments of change are like small phoenixes rising from the ashes. We must push this change along. Thanks to all the Contrarians who get me through my depressed days to find the resolve to stand up for democracy again.

Speaking the truth especially if it involves video evidence of what is really happening on the ground is very powerful. We need every incident to be recorded by ordinary citizens in a legal and lawful way. If the government wants to spin lies then we have evidence backing up their falsehoods. This is one way to hold them accountable.

And also to preserve for posterity the history that Mister thinks he can erase. We will never forget.

Thank you for this post.

For me, it ties together and clarifies the stories being told on The Contrarian and other fabulous independent news sites. Systems are broken, major reform is needed, and how we got here requires that individuals and institutions be judged and held to account - aka punished.

A wonderful quote from the journalist in Minnesota - "I knew this was a moment".

And some ‘moments/ movements’ ought to never be repeated … ‘MAGA’.

It is a bitter lesson America & even the world is learning.

— the hard way.
