Just stripping someone’s right to free speech.

Just so happens to be a senator that speaks for his constituents.

So, according to POTUS, Durbin and his constituents have no voice according to POTUS.

Something seems unamerican, unlawful, inhumane about this.

Religions are not made the same. Christian nationalism is a white supremest cult. The KKK were that. Hate and take away rights are their primary goal. We have too many GOP who are in it. ICE are that. Killing innocent people are that. Follow and speak up.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
