Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.
This Is Fascism.

Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

I guess the Administration is going to try not to release the full video.
Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”
Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”
Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

Even if those people had big bags labeled “Drugs” (which they did not), blowing up their boat is murder.
And going back to kill two who survived the first strike is also murder.

The term for blowing up a boat with 11 people on it is “murder.”
And doing it in another nation’s territorial waters sounds a lot like an act of war. But wherever it takes place, it’s the state murdering 11 people.
