We are all cousin Brian. Rest In Pee.
🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

Just threw a few bucks into Media Matters' coffers to support the important work they do, as Musk does his best to sabotage them for calling him out on his bigotry. There's a little red button on the top right corner of their home page if you're inclined to do the same. www.mediamatters.org
