MODERATORS
 

For the caging of migrant children — no indictment. For the unqualified support of the [neocolonization] of Palestine — no indictment. For the racist language used against Haiti and countries in the Global South, as well as against China during the height of the COVID-19 crisis — no indictment. For openly mocking people with disabilities — no indictment. For opposing the Equality Act, which would protect the LGBTQ2S+ community from discrimination — no indictment. For his vile woman-hating, misogynistic statements and conduct, including sexual assault — no indictment.

For appointing union-busters like Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Peter Robb — no indictment. For demanding the execution of the Exonerated Five (formerly known as the Central Park Five), even after their convictions were overturned — no indictment. For publicly aligning himself with the most vile [neo]fascist forces like the Proud Boys — before, during and after Jan. 6, 2021 — no indictment.

For criminal yet legal statements and actions too numerous to list, all targeting the working class and especially the most oppressed — not one single charge!

It seems like most of the things you want him indictmented for are for just having and sharing his shitty opinions. You cant indictment someone for excersizing their freedom of speech. No matter how shitty, slurred, or divorced from reality they might be.

The point is, that our legal system doesnt actually protect the working class

For the most part that's true, but it blows my mind that his months of incitement of groups like the proud boys, his involvement in Jan 6th, and election lies hold no consequence.
