Instead of rollerball we get this criminally insane clown show. #andthebandplayedon

500 civilians murdered, bombed each week in Gaza yet not reported on US News or social media ( blue sky ) we get the Trump crime show instead. That’s palpable entertainment.

Curious.

I seriously wonder what Donald would have to do for someone “who matters” to say “STOP? This has gone too far!”

Even more disconcerting is the fact that I don’t see anyone “who matters” ever SAYING that to him. And THAT is scary AF.

It’s disgraceful that the ELECTED leaders we have sent to Washington to represent us have allowed this to happen. And they have ALLOWED this to happen. #ClearAndPresentDanger

And yet we continue on as if everything is completely normal. Everywhere you look, the majority of Americans are simply ignoring what’s happening. But hey, college football starts this weekend!

We are so f*cked.

American journalist, activist and SuperGay Randy Shilts, best known for his biography of #HarveyMilk and “And the Band Played On”, his devastating account of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, was BOTD in 1951, and died of AIDS in 1994, aged 42. #randyshilts #supergays #bornonthisday #andthebandplayedon

Exactly this. We NEED to Wake Up!

They did the same with AIDS, until it started affecting the white, straight republican race. 🙄 #AndTheBandPlayedOn watch the movie.

“It’s not coming. It’s here.”
And yet we continue getting on with our lives like everything is totally normal.

This is our future. Yes, the G☭P is blatantly beholden to Russia and the Saudis, but they are all bought and paid for. The collapse is already happening around us. We’re just to stupid and jaded to do anything about it.

Cheers!

We had our chance. Biden allowed Garland to let Tя☭mp slide. There is no bottom. People still don’t get it. #Freefalling #AndTheBandPlayedOn #ClearAndPresentDanger

Completely agree with you but I have a truly honest question for you (or anyone else who actually has a platform and reach to affect anything). Why is no one DOING anything about this? EVERYONE SEES THE ICEBERG! Yet we sail serenely and silently into disaster. #AndTheBandPlayedOn

They’ll all be pardoned the next day, so why even bother with the “pretense” of justice or accountability? The floodgates are about to be opened wide. #AndTheBandPlayedOn

Agreed. #AndTheBandPlayedOn

Sarah is correct and has been for years. Merrick Garland is part of the coup and we have allowed him and them to get away with everything. #ZEROAccountability #ClearAndPresentDanger #AndTheBandPlayedOn

I’m sorry, but personally I feel like we’re accepting this avalanche into fascism far too casually. I really thought we’d be better prepared than this. #AndTheBandPlayedOn
