29. The poor souls in the torture prisons
Thu Dec 25, 2025, 10:19 AM
Dec 25

And detention centers have been on my heart. The "jackboot on the neck forever" image is what we're coming to. Getting the vile orange excrement out of office won 't change anything. A very heavy black web is in place to cover the globe, and for each one creating it, there's another waiting to take its place when it dies. We have to continue to speak up in witness to what's happening. The light will eventually break through, so we must not let the dark overcome us. These ghouls are carrying the seeds of their own destruction through their arrogance and plain stupidity.
