Kristi Noem and ICE broke into a city building from Blackhawk choppers and zip tied children and stripped them terrified and screaming from their parents in the middle of the night. She is crying because she can’t use a bathroom. Trump voter ghouls, you help her, you fucks.

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved.

Keep in mind that Stephen Miller is speaking to people who've been uprooted from their day jobs and homes to serve as props.

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

I have been struck with something. We all mourn the death of Charlie Kirk. It absolutely was pure evil.

But there have been an immense amount of school shootings… against children.. and the GOP doesn’t show 1/456th of the remorse they demand America shows for Charlie

That's what college is for, you Trump like idiots! To explore research and knowledge! To learn! If you want a damn job you'll hate for 20 or 30 years go to tech school!

I hate ignorant people who hate education.

That's a Labour government minister berating university students and staff by saying that 'too often people go to university to "explore research and knowledge"'.

I'm very glad of our students who study history to explore research and knowledge.

Today, the children at Annunciation Catholic School were shot while praying. Two were killed in the pews.

Thoughts and prayers are NOT enough. We need immediate and comprehensive gun safety laws. That’s what saves lives.
