Trump says he’s going to send children who were born to undocumented immigrant parents “back” to where they are from. But those children are FROM here. They were BORN here. He’s not going to be sending them “back” to anything. He will be sending them AWAY from their home. And it’s fucking evil.

Just think about this: Trump nominated someone facing credible accusations of raping a minor. A minor. Why isn’t the press relentlessly questioning HIM about this nomination and what the hell he was thinking? Where is the same fervor and outrage they showed about Joe Biden’s age? 🤷🤷🤷
