Let's be clear - Donald Trump is ultimately responsible for the murder of that woman by an ICE thug. His policy. Miller and Noem also guilty of this murder #trump #gop @nytimes.com

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Has no one told #Trump that the American way - that of the individual over society - is inimical to the European Way, which priortises society over the individual. The American Way has always been the biggest threat to European Social/Socialist Culture. @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com

Trump is such a fucking moron. He has no idea of objective, statesman-like thought and behaviour. Everything to him is deeply personal. He fails to understand that he is a country and the power he has is not his but that of America. He is merely the servant of America. Yet he behaves as if it is he

Trump continues along his multi-moronic love of authoritarians/authoritarianism by this sweetner so-called peace plan for Ukraine between Russia and U.S. It must be a joke. Can't be real. It basically gives Putin, a mudering thug dictator fascist everything he wants. The sooner America gets rid of
