I write this letter as the sun rises, hoping that the suspension of my rights will raise alarm bells that yours are already in jeopardy. I hope it will inspire your outrage that the most basic human instinct, to protest shameless massacre, is being repressed by obscure laws, racist propaganda and a state terrified of an awakened public. I hope this writing will startle you into understanding that a democracy for some—a democracy of convenience—is no democracy at all. I hope it will shake you into acting before it is too late.

It says that most Americans haven’t been familiar with US’ domestic and foreign policy for 25 years at least, because the US has been caging kids, renditioning citizens, and dumping them in cages and black sites for more than two decades. (such as Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, among others.)
Disappearing people into torture chambers was standard operating procedure during the War on Terror. The major difference was that the government had to go to a secret court and get a warrant to do it.
Uh, exactly what the rest of the world has been saying about America since the Russian cum rag was elected the first time…
This kind of shit dates back to at least the aftermath of 9/11.
Some of us were paying attention when the rightous indignation following 9/11 was weaponized to lead America down the path of Authoritarianism.
