I remind people that the Nazi’s began their genocide campaign targeting the disabled through the T-4 program. Shame on anyone who doesn’t stand up for the vulnerable.

The Capitol Police go from heroes to thugs with a change of Administration. Shout out to all the protesters, commentators and this site. This is absolutely disgusting and has got to stop. The thug occupying the White House needs a full physical and psychiatric examination by competent physicians because by all observable standards he has completely gone insane. I would add lil Stephen Miller to that list as well.

Last I checked, the PETITION CLAUSE OF THE CONSTITUTION protects the right "to petition the government for a redress of grievances". How was what they were doing not protected by that clause and by FREEDOM OF SPEECH with the RIGHT TO DISSENT and the RIGHT TO CONGREGATE?

Thought the capitol police were better than this, don’t they remember 1/6? Or have the decent members been purged by the administration?

Disgusting, despicable, degenerate, dangerous, deranged, etc. etc. we’re running out of adjectives at this point, but they will never stop the destruction that seems! They are the ones being disorderly and disingenuous. We want the big D word back democracy.!

Horrific. This is fascism. In its most obvious visible form. It won't stop here unless it's made to stop.

I have never been so embarrassed and shamed by my country to this extent! This is humiliating. These ICE and HOMELAND GESTAPO need to be reigned in immediately! They should themselves be in detention along with our "Mentally ill" so-called president and his "Ship-of-Fools" cabinet. Stop this insanity.

These are disabled Americans, who prob have fought in various “conflicts”! What is wrong with these “police”?? This is harming people who cannot help themselves asking to improve Medicaid! I am so angry!!

THIS is why I always taught my daughter, you DO NOT put trust in every policeman because some are uneducated Morons! This is only one example!! Brendan

I believe it was more like SAVE Medicaid, not IMPROVE Medicaid. Regardless, the cruelty is unconscionable.

I never thought I’d see the day when elderly people peacefully protesting would be treated this way. This is heartbreaking and disgusting. What has this country come to???!!!

The complete & utter inhumanity, cruelty, unkind, reprehensible [how many adjectives are there???] actions being taken by 47, the Corrupt Cabinet & Complicity Congress.

What we do to those who have the courage to call out for their own lives is heart-sickening.

I can make more calls, write more emails but WTF does that do?

This regime is systematically STARTING with targeting everyone they consider marginalized; undocumented brown and black migrants, pregnant people, people receiving any type of assistance to live, people in gender diverse groups, and OTHERING them and hoping that the general populace will hurry to denounce them out of some misguided sense of self preservation, and diversion of the oppression to “someone not me”. Here’s the news flash: just like in that poem “First they came” by Martin Niemöller, MAGA/TRUMP/PROJECT2025 FASCISM WILL COME FOR US ALL. #resist #organize #shinethelightoftruth

Sending money today to ACLU and any other organization that takes legal action against this administration. They really DO want people to die.
