After Alex Pretti’s Murder, It’s Clear That MAGA Media Views White Liberals as Race Traitors
MAGA is committed to the belief that the people ICE is pursuing are inherently bad and that therefore opposing ICE is standing with criminals and rapists against the American people.

That so many dumped those efforts immediately proved just how shallow their support was. They would have fought hard and long to protect DEI if they believed in its merits and it mattered to them.
This is a huge win for higher ed! Unfortunately, many institutions complied in advance and already folded many of their DEI efforts. This is an example of why it’s so important to resist until there is no other option. Most of the programs that were terminated won’t be resurrected. What a loss.
"After a lawsuit and a defeat in court, however, the Trump administration says it is dropping the matter entirely."

The last thing Renee Nicole Good said was, "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you." Then an ICE agent shot her three times at close range.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."
