Use Trump’s voice for Die Hard’s Ellis (aka skeevy scheming coworker). It seems a good fit. Change no lines, just the voice.
Oh, and Yippee Ki Yay to those who celebrate

UPDATE: I've heard from Jose's family. He's apparently been transferred to an ICE detention center in TX, but it's been days since they've been able to speak with him.
He needs medical care and to be able to speak with his family and lawyer. This obscene cruelty helps no one.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.
His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.
He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

We stand with Calibri.
I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

As has been pointed out, this isn't even in the stadium, which FIFA controls. This is SEATTLE celebrating Pride. They want the CITY to cancel their Pride plans.
They can all fuck all the way off.

📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC
The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference:
