What the hell is happening? Trump just posting a fake video of himself promising every America access to a medical technology that doesn't exist.
Did Trump see this AI video of himself and think it was real?
Does he know this is not him?
Does he not remember what announcements he films?

This is NOT how the Oklahoma Survivors’ Justice Act was intended to be implemented.
April Wilkens is an outspoken advocate for survivors of domestic violence and her personal experiences were integral to the passage of the Oklahoma Survivors' Justice Act.
Yet, her request to be resentenced under the Oklahoma Survivors' Act was denied.

The killing, the culling of huge swaths of humanity that take up space and resources, NOT the cruelty, is the point. (The cruelty is simply a side benefit to this administration.)

This is beyond vile and Noem is lying. None of these prisoners was “prosecuted” - they were not even granted that dignity.
Turning dehumanizing conditions and ritual humiliation into a US government propaganda video. This makes me ill
