If you’re still pro-Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.
I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.
I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, treason & fascism.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.
And here in NYC today another shocking escalation by Trump.
The law *explicitly allows* unannounced visits by congressmembers to federal facilities.
This is yet another breach of democratic norms by an increasingly rogue administration. Don't normalize this.
