This happened to a black family in Cape Coral Florida a couple of days ago. The new house they had just bought was vandalized -doors ripped off, and walls torn up. Good law abiding citizens. No one deserves this. They often ask why we vote blue- it is for our safety.
Are we still the land of the free and home of the brave? I am getting so disillusioned. I came to the US as an immigrant escaping tyranny and had such admiration for the U.S- for law and order, for human rights, and for the idea that our leaders are generally morally upright. #Epsteinscandal

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.
Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?
Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”
If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?
Every Trump voter needs to see this.

I have lived in an authoritarian government. When the leader comes after free speech- at first you think it won't affect you. But as more dissenters are punished, you end up looking over your shoulder in fear of who might hear you and report you. It is suffocating. Speech becomes a crime. #FCC

You can't call it "political dialogue" when all it does is dehumanize others. Some people are making millions off of attacking vulnerable groups like trans people and black people.

I hear they are coming for naturalized citizens. I also hear the legal process takes very long (assuming they follow it). My fear is they will send us to that alligator place to wait for years. It is a death sentence. #deportations

It has been proposed that modern society gained an enhanced empathetic capability in the 18th century with the widespread distribution and practice of reading novels. Prior to this time, the general population did not have a rate of literacy which would make distributing a fictional book viable.

As a black woman, I find it disturbing that my taxes will pay to resettle white South Africans who for years benefitted from a system that brutalized my people. It is deeply offensive and congress should speak out for us. #SouthAfrica

Back in January, thousands of real refugees who had already bought plane tickets and were ready to fly in, to resettle or reunite with family, were stopped from coming. Also, TPS revocations against various brown people continue. This is ugly and Maga is cruel. #SouthAfrica

I've had to cancel a trip to Canada and lost some money after reading stories of naturalized citizens being detained and harrassed. I wish someone would explain what is happening. We can't live like this for 4 years. #congress #immigration #america
