An unfortunate truth
Right now they are actively going after anyone with brown skin. As time goes on they will actively go after LBGT, Jews, Muslims and anyone who doesn't agree with them on any issue.

The lips?
I know people hate hearing his voice and it’s fine if you don’t want to, but listening to how he talks about her lips is somehow even 10 times worse than this caption. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump on Karoline Leavitt: "She's become a star. It's that face, it's that brain, it's those lips, the way they move."

1/2 Listen to them speak—about the screams in the dark, the constant beatings, the filth, the cages. About how many tried to kill themselves just to escape the torture.
Juan José Ramos Ramos, Andry Omar Blanco Bonilla, & Wilmer José Vega Sandia are 3 of the men the Trump regime abducted to CECOT.

Fascism scripts it this way: Punish low fruit. Bargain with the ripe ones. Claim virtue through engineered consent. Isidro Pérez was 75. He'd lived here longer than his jailers. Still, they harvested him
Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

Why Did a 75-Year-Old Man in Poor Health Just Die in ICE Custody?
Isidro Perez came to the United States from Cuba nearly 60 years ago. This is who Stephen Miller is going after now?

The Big, Beautiful Bill throws 16 million off health care & decimates our already broken system. I have an amendment to do the opposite.
We EXPAND Medicare to cover dental, hearing & vision & pay for it by cutting prescription drug prices in half. Will any Republican support it?

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.
Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.
📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Same poison, different hats.
For Gen Z folks: what you’re seeing today is the same damn thing my generation of Elder Millennials dealt with from neocons in the ‘00s, only they wore cowboy hats instead of red caps.
They vehemently opposed LGBTQIA+ rights, wanted to cut the social safety net and were trigger happy as hell abroad.

Resist! Stop it now.
So, what have we learned. We have no money for U.S. citizens for schools, medical care, food, or quality of life issues. We do, however, have money for missiles, unprovoked wars, and for kidnapping people off the street. We have also learned that one party is evil incarnate and the other is useless.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

I'm grateful to have Patricia Michaels support in my campaign for Governor. As a Native American fashion designer, she's broken glass ceilings & paved the way for native women in the fashion industry. I'll be a governor that invests in our creative economy that lifts up entrepreneurs like Patricia.
