The human cost of Trumpism. Listen to this kid.
Let’s assume, as is implied, that his parents came illegally but he was born here and is a citizen.
Assume they committed a crime by illegally crossing a border.
I ask: does this punishment fit the crime? Can anyone with a heart say it does??

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

The suma proof that in the Admin the approach is "I'll work to take away everything that the government provides for citizen wellbeing, but if you want anything back it has to be because I'm in a position to dole out favors for your loyalty."
Like many Americans, Scott Adams had insurance problems. But unlike most people he has powerful friends on social media, and when he asked President Trump for help, he got the cancer drug he needed. n.pr/47yYhti
Dilbert creator taps Trump to get cancer drug. Others wish they could, too

You want a military tradition worth venerating? We took immigrants who grew up in rough neighborhoods and the culture of football and ran through the SS like shit through a goose.

The SS created their own divisions because they were absolute dipshits. It’s like Iraqi Republican Guard or the IRGC.

The issue isn’t that there are revolting deranged bigots in America. The issue isn’t even that they have their own following. The issue is that they are prominent advisors and friends to the President of the United States and his team.

In the entirety of Joe Biden’s presidency, there was no judicial nominee who endured more partisan ugliness and cruelty than Adeel Mangi.
He was an objectively impressive and qualified pick. He also happened to be Muslim.
Senate GOPers subjected him to a disgusting monthslong smear campaign. (1/x)

The Trump regime is claiming tyrannical powers. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole, not a partisan statement. The reality we now face.
If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Through comments, I learned about other big myths Americans believe about foreign aid:
1/ it's risen past 1% in recent years, esp. due to Ukraine - false, max is about 0.5% in 2022 $80B
2/ it's used mostly *not* for humanitarian aid - nope
3/ It's mainly about military objectives - nope
