A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

Perhaps Americans' basic sense of fair play will make us revolt against the clear double standard of the #GOP and #SCOTUS. Why is it OK for the #GOP to gerrymander even when the voters don't get to vote on it, but when voters do vote to approve #Democratic gerrymandering, that state's #GOP supreme court rules against it?
It's no fair. It's hypocritical. It's anti-democratic and #unamerican #us #politics #Trump

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who among American heroes could meet their [loyalty] tests, who would be cleared by their committees? Not Washington, who was a rebel. Not Jefferson, who wrote that all men are created equal and whose motto was “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Not Garrison, who publicly burned the Constitution; or Wendell Phillips, who spoke for the underprivileged everywhere and counted himself a philosophical anarchist; not Seward of the Higher Law or Sumner of racial equality. Not Lincoln, who admonished us to have malice toward none, charity for all; or Wilson, who warned that our flag was “a flag of liberty of opinion as well as of political liberty”; or Justice Holmes, who said that our Constitution is an experiment and that while that experiment is being made “we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death.”Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

Looked over preceding videos of #alexpretti kicking the taillight, etc...
Doesn't affect that he was shot after he was disarmed in the fatal instance. Don't know why it is being released as if it has some bearing.
New videos do not change that resolution. He was shot after being held down and disarmed.
Pretty #unamerican , these #ice agents.
Read that again... this disease was eliminated! And now thanks to our people's stupidity and the rise of antiscience antivaxxers, it is making a comeback! And imbeciles running our nation have withdrawn from WHO.

Perfect example of an obnoxious American demonstrating arrogance, ugly spitefulness, ignorance and absolute stupidity. This is the worst that our species has to offer and is an existential threat to the entire world. Impeach, convict and imprison this criminal scumbag.
