I won't lie, my view of the U.S. as a modern nation has really dived in recent years. Almost half the country voted for a half senile moron, the police system is a joke, the healthcare system is driven by money making rather than healing people, the higher education provisions are almost non-existent, the prison network is shocking, the government subsidises non-living wages so corporations can gouge the people at the bottom....
I could go on, but the image I had of the States has been rather comprehensively shattered the more I've learnt about it. Pax Americana seems to have ended with the twentieth century.

Do us all a favour America and vote that fat ugly orange bastard out in November because honestly I’m fucking sick and tired of having to see and hear about him every single fucking day.

Long thread, but a good example of why the police system in the US needs to be torn down and built from scratch:

It doesn't matter how anyone in the US votes UNLESS they're in one of a few swing states, and potentially not even then because the EC is a system designed to be able to ignore the will of the people. And honestly, the GOP has taken a lot of drastic steps lately to suppress voters, and their base is cheering them on. That shitbag carlo won't even admit voting machines have been shut down and mailboxes removed, and hours of workers limited. I won't lie, my view of the U.S. as a modern nation has really dived in recent years. Almost half the country voted for a half senile moron, the police system is a joke, the healthcare system is driven by money making rather than healing people, the higher education provisions are almost non-existent, the prison network is shocking, the government subsidises non-living wages so corporations can gouge the people at the bottom.... I could go on, but the image I had of the States has been rather comprehensively shattered the more I've learnt about it. Pax Americana seems to have ended with the twentieth century. But our huge military! It's so huge! and great! We could kick the asses of all the numerous international threats to America! You might have healthcare, a college education, a decent wage you can live on, a higher quality of life, a longer lifespan, and more human rights, but we have more aircraft carriers than we know what to do with! #Merica /s in case anyone missed it.

I know, I'm not holding my breath. But it isn't impossible.

Alleged Doctor (& Republican Donor) in ICE hysterectomy scandal named.and I had trouble finding an actual article on the story, so this will have to do: Jacob Wohl Staged Fake FBI Raid on Business Partner, Actor Hired for Production SaysHow the fuck is he not in jail and allowed to walk around freely after being arrested on felony charges for selling unregistered securities, running an advance fee scam, faking numerous sexual assault/rape claims, hiring someone to impersonate an FBI agent, and engaging in voter suppression via robocalls alleging mail-in voting will be used by police to find criminals. I know his trial for the securities has currently been pushed back due to COVID, but how is he still allowed to walk freely? On the other hand, he's touted as the cream of the upcoming crop of republicans, so it's a small comfort to think that they're all exactly as stupid and easily exposed as Wohl.

Honestly, this whole thing looks more like standard Republican grift than orchestrated genocide to me. Someone figured out they could make money off of sterilizing detainees and no one in the administration gave enough of a shit about being a decent human being to stop it.
