It’s time for those involved to be brought to justice for the CIA and FBI’s torture programs, instituted by the Bush-Cheney administration and not prosecuted by the Obama administration. We mustn’t forget the horrors of the illegal and amoral Iraq war—the moral injury it has caused our nation and the harm it caused to our victims. It was worse and more criminal than even Trump.

‘The forever prisoner’: Abu Zubaydah’s drawings expose the US’s depraved torture policy

Exclusive: For 21 years, the detainee has been in US custody without charge, tortured and sexually humiliated, with no prospect for release

@MarkRuffalo I can't eat as much as I want to throw up. Despicable and inhuman
@MarkRuffalo greatest country in the world tho, right?!? This is what a runaway military economy yields, with these trained terrorists unleashed on our own population as civilians both creating and enforcing unjust and immoral laws. We're teetering.
@MarkRuffalo Mark, while I agree with the core sentiment, I believe there are bigger fish to fry in the US.

@MarkRuffalo

A fake "war on terror" became a real war on democracy.

Kathleen Belew says the same folks who lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, now fund lies about American democracy.

America was becoming a multiracial pluralistic democracy where women & POC are equal citizens under the law.

There is no race war. No great replacement or antifa. There is no rapture or apocalypse

There's just oil oligarchs impeding climate action, by undermining democracy

Bring the War Home — Kathleen Belew

The white power movement has declared war against the United States and has carried out -- with military precision -- an escalating campaign of terror against the American public. Kathleen Belew gives the first full history of a movement that consolidated around a sense of betrayal over Vietnam and made tragic headlines with the Oklahoma City bombing.

@MarkRuffalo I hope Ron DeSantis is one of those prosecuted.
@MarkRuffalo Ever the progressive lapdog. Even when they consistently do no actual work. You can effectively bring up this issue without doing damage, but you choose not to. Not only does it damage democracy by supporting the both sides propaganda you’ve been fed, it actually damages the efficacy of the efforts you claim to care about. Do better. You have a megaphone but it comes with responsibility. #farL #USPol

@MarkRuffalo
Bush sucked the toes of the elite, demolished government secularism, and led our nation into a war founded on lies.

I could go on, but he needs to be put down alongside the entire GOP.

#bush #Iraq #AbolishGOP

@MarkRuffalo What needs to happen? Lawsuits? Justice won’t happen from within the government system.
@MarkRuffalo Crimes against humanity. Further, the lies that created the predicate for a war against a nation that did not attack us, had no WMD… and they just memory holed it. Thank you for using your reach to remind people of who we are, what we did, and what we need to do about it.
@MarkRuffalo I think we have enough going on right the eff now. Sorry for the past but...all that matters today is securing this democracy. That's it. Nothing else.
