so... I guess by “take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose.” - he just gave EVERYONE going to jail an instant way out due to the now guaranteed violation of 8th amendment.
It looks to me, you are looking for excuses to not do anything. Yes, doing anything at this point is risky. Doing nothing is even riskier. People are already dying because of what is happening. Those usaid medical cuts, have already killed people who literally depended on them to stay alive (like affording O2 tanks). The FAA cuts have killed people, but most of those were blatantly obvious. I guarantee immigrants will die or be murdered in gitmo due to this administration. Hell, the manchurian mango is already calling himself King in his social posts. And. It. Will. Only. Get. Worse. It definitely wont start magically getting better, especially given a good portion of the dem party leadership is upset that progressive groups have been "annoying" them by trying to get them to do their jobs and actually be the opposition party and to actually DO SOMETHING.
That sinking feeling you may have that nobody is doing anything about this is literally because the people who's job it is to stop shit like this from happening are just sitting on their hands and letting it happen. Only a small portion of the elected DC officials are actually doing shit. So yea, we are all that stands in the way now. So, do you want to live in a free country or are you going give up and become a collaborator?
ahh yes, the classic "freedom of speech only applies to me" tactic :| this is a clear violation of 1st amendment.
