(31,458 posts)her showing of the peaceful protests is inspiring.
Just to nitpick with her a teeny bit, the places they are taking the kidnapped people are not prison camps. It is better that she called them prison camps than detention centers, however, words matter, people in prisons have rights, have access to the outside world, are available to be inspected.
People in concentration camps have no rights, concentration camps are off limits to inspections, even by state politicians.
Krasnov wants to build concentration camps all across the US, not prison camps.

(1,745 posts)that housed WWII Japanese American Citizens is still here in Colorado, out on the prairie.
There is also a closed/vacant private prison on the Colorado/Kansas Border, yet utilized.......You can bet some Rural Colorado BangBangBobert fan, who is a farmer, who voted for Trump, would gladly donate the land for an aircraft landing runway beside the Prison............

(31,458 posts)She did a segment on Alex Pretti, played a video where he was honoring one of his VA patients.
He was a respected, loving, IC nurse at the VA, and Krasnov murdered him.
Pretti is being demonized by Magats and his family is very upset. Nicolle did her best to show who Pretti really was.

His poor parents. To watch him executed...and then be maligned - it's beyond the pale. This regime is evil.

(57,769 posts)He made the interesting observation that the federal agent who assaulted the woman Pretti was trying to help was also one of the two agents who then opened fire on Pretti. Lawrence also pointed out that there is no statute of limitations on murder, and the Pretti & Good murders were both state crimes as well as federal crimes. He had the Minneapolis city prosecutor on who said she was investigating the killings. She also pointed out that even if the feds remove any criminal charges she files to federal court, she would remain prosecutor on the case, and state law would still apply--so Trump can't pardon the agent!
Lawrence got choked up reading the statements on Pretti. Which made me choke up too.
I'm totally crushing on Lawrence.
