It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants."

My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is?

The people lying to you about immigrants.

MAGA: We are a CHRISTIAN nation & based on the BIBLE—which is GREATER than the Constitution.

Me: "Do not mistreat foreigners living in your country. Treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love foreigners as you love your-selves. I am your Lord God."

MAGA: No No Not that part of the Bible.

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

Corporate democrat bill foster hasn’t showed up to a single anti-ICE protest, but he’s so proud of his strongly worded letter he even magnified his name so you definitely know he signed this strongly worded letter. This is leadership yall! Fascism is over! We won! Strongly worded letters saved us!

Trump's not using the National Guard in Illinois to stop violent crime—he's trying to create chaos as he pulls off another authoritarian power grab. It's unconstitutional and un-American.

My colleagues and I will not be intimidated, and neither will the people of Illinois.

Previous admins banned ICE fascists from sensitive areas like hospitals & shelters. Not this regime

Two years after 10/7, we never hear media report in the year prior to 10/7—Hamas killed 240 Israelis, kidnapped 800 Israeli kids, held 8000 Israelis hostage, & built 12,000 homes on Israeli land. Why?

Because Hamas did none of those things—Israeli government did

Hospitals must be ICE free zones.

People must not be afraid to access medical care.

ICE recently held a man with a broken leg for 37 days (!!!) handcuffed to a hospital bed.

They put him under a pseudonym so no one could find him.

They should never be allowed in healthcare facilities.
