Horrid, on par with recent fascist actions.

Also, ~~CNS~~ CBS News is now rightwing. We should be on guard for propaganda in their articles.

Basically the AP writes it and other news organizations can pay to pick it up verbatim. So there is some editorial control in that a news org chooses (or doesn’t) to pick up a particular story.

Not being white passing was this guys crime.

I will say that one thing that I'm now glad for in moving to the southwest is that the houses here majority have a front steel security door. I don't think I will ever have another house without one ever again.

half of my family is white passing, but a majority think that they're white passing.

part of me hopes that they all get treated like this, but i know that it still wouldn't change their minds about their support for trump.

"What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything."

Either people wake up and realize what's happening, or reality is going to wake them up brutally.

once due process is out the window and illegal searches are carte blanche you no longer live in a country with law. democracy means nothing at that point. a feudal society that respects due process and does not do searches without warrants would have more rights.
