Yet we elevate a man to the highest office whose aversion to reading & thinking is so notorious his supporters uncritically boast it as vital to his appeal and relatability.

ICE just detained Karoline Leavitt’s nephew’s mother - a DACA recipient who was weeks away from a green card.
This is what happens when an administration builds a machine so aggressive it chews up its own orbit.
They promise “law and order” and end up creating chaos in their own families.
