People are going to be reading about this guy's story in a book titled "The Rise and Fall of the American Empire".

Admittedly, Americans won't be able to appreciate it, because we're pulling the public education system out by the roots. Also, possibly, because the book will be written in Spain or German or Chinese.

    I don't actively use any social media with real names either but if you do anything online from applying to jobs to signing up for services like hydro, your name is probably out there

    John Oliver just did a great episode on how ridiculous this is.

    Cops can pretty much lable anyone a "self admitted gang member" off nonsense and it's never questioned. If you're an immigrant that can be all it takes to kick you of the country.

    The situation is obviously fucked now, but has existed for decades regardless of which party is in power.

    Neoliberals are not good enough, we have 50 years of history to prove it. The party moved to the right with Carter and faced backlash, but hasn't stopped moving right till about 6 months ago at the last DNC chair election.

    A literal once in a life time policitical change happened. And just no one fucking noticed.
