Thank God for Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, and DU!!

[Sogo]

We are better for all of them.

1. Rachel had a fantastic A block

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.

2. Isn't there a U.S. town somewhere called

Auschwitz? Dachau? Buchenwald?

12. One of the U.S. concentration camps

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............

3. I'm with you, Sogo. There have been times I couldn't wait until I heard the news from them as I trust them

Both Rachael and Lawrence O break down the story, even going so far as to the how, when and why’s the story is so important. The generous poster on DU have been a huge help with videos and sites for us to see. I’m so glad to be here and not worry about misinformation 🌺

4. They offer truth. They remind us that the insanity is outside us, not within.

6. Yes, and we've been told by them and posters here to wait for te facts as they tend to fall into place in time

And sometimes not at once. It’s hard, for me, for sure, as I get outraged and my heart aches for the last year, at least, as it seems our world has gone bezerk

8. We are living in an upside down world.

Maintaining equilibrium is not easy.

10. Well said

5. Nicolle Wallace had a fantastic show today also,

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.

9. I devoted my 5000th post to him today.

I have been angry and crying for two days.

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

11. I missed your post but will look for it. Most certainly his family and friends are devastated

As he and Renee Good have been demonized for doing the right things. We *are* living in an upside down world

7. Does the FCC crack-down on both sides bull shit affect MS Now?

[SunSeeker]

13. No, FCC deals with broadcast stations. MSNOW is cable.

Same with Fox.

14. Thanks for knowing that.

15. Lawrence was really good tonight too. He's an expert on LEO excessive force and wrote a great book on it.

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.
