13. What a terrible loss
Mon Jan 26, 2026, 10:43 AM
17 hrs ago

This moving tribute brought tears to my eyes and makes me so angry that we are losing good, decent people to these murderous thugs who are so hateful and are actually looking at this violence as a game. And it makes me so utterly scared and worried for the people who have been snatched from the streets and out of their homes. If they are doing these beatings, attacks, and murders in broad daylight, I shudder to think of what they’re doing behind closed doors in the concentration camps that are popping up everywhere.
