So what's next...?

Do we as a collective sign a fucking petition and send it to the UN?

Where's the fucking cavalry for these poor people in camps???

If our own Congress or DoJ is not capable of putting the brakes on, who the fuck IS...?

Marching in the street is not an option, they don't care and it won't be covered...

calling Congress etc is obviously a moot point. Shit even when they go there and post horrific things, there's no real blowback.

It feels like being in pre WWII Germany, but yet the rest of the world is actually asleep at the wheel. Every other democratic country on the planet should be on this!

it's really not practical. We have gone beyond the point where thousands in the streets will change anything (look at the Occupy movement...)

It's really out of our hands as a country, we've been couped

and yet the UN et al is also not affected/upset

5. I think the UN considers us a loose cannon with Trump at the helm.

They’re probably afraid that if they criticize us, he’ll nuke some member nation.
