I just learned that Elon Musk retweeted and then posted 100 on a tweet that read "if white men become the minority they will be slaughtered." White people only make up about 30% of New York City and no one is being slaughtered. It's an incredibly low crime city - you racist idiot

This is both dangerous and humiliating. America First = America Alone, and only the most profoundly ignorant people believe America is better off alone.

I hate do doomerism, but if Trump doesn't back down we are potentially looking at WWIII.

NEW: The Virginia House has voted to put a referendum on the ballot that would let *voters* decide whether the state has a new congressional map.
This is a responsible response to the Trump-ordered gerrymanders in other states.

Do you know how evil you have to be in order to get the Swedes to deploy their army to fight a war with you? Sweden hasn't fought a war since 1814.

They even sat out both world wars. And here they are, getting ready to fight the United States.

@blumenthal.senate.gov how about let's do something.

Let this sink in—the head of the EPA has now labeled climate science as “religion”, and reframed the purpose of the EPA to “lower the cost of buying a car… and running a business”—the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY!

That’s where we are now.

Trump isn't happy with mass deportations of migrants. He now wants to begin deporting selected US citizens to El Salvador, a country that has far less respect for human rights. This "rendition" is illegal in the United States. But for how long?
"Rendition". The act of sending a suspect covertly to be interrogated in a country with less rigorous regulations for the humane treatment of prisoners.

The U.S. can't deport one of its own citizens. Deportation is for noncitizens only," said Jennifer Gordon, a law professor at Fordham Law School.
Rubio touts Bukele's 'generous' offer to jail U.S. citizens in El Salvador, but experts say it's illegal
Current laws “would categorically preclude most U.S. citizens and residents from serving their sentence in El Salvador,” a former U.S. attorney said.
