Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

“That facility is, like, terrible, horrible. There’s a lot of people in there. A lot. Each room has like 45 capacity. And they’re putting like 60 people in each room. The restroom is a mess. Dirty. People are sleeping on the floor, people are sleeping in the restroom.”
How Trump's ICE Is Locking Up Longtime Texans with Paths to Legal Status

Don't ever let them claim to be against taxes. The Republicans love taxes on the little people.

Americans, not other countries, paid Trump's tariffs in 2025

Happy Presidents’ Day to the last real president we had. Americans now see he delivered a strong economy, low unemployment, major infrastructure investment, the CHIPS Act, & the 1st Black woman on the SC. He was treated shamefully—his only “crime” was aging. I hope we learn from how good we had it.

Alexei Navalny loved Russia and opposed Putin. Patriotism and dissent are not contradictions. Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent about its leaders. No one should be murdered for speaking out.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talks about how she was treated in her first term by Democrats. It is sad to hear this. It’s also infuriating that some people have not learned their lessons yet.
