I think Miller, Trump, etc. believe that deep down, all white Americans hate immigrants & want the country to be rid of them like they do. They simply do not comprehend that so many of us not only value immigrants & the cultural diversity they bring to our communities, but will protect them.

Gosh, who could have predicted that the world’s most notorious & extreme anti-vaxx activist would turn out to be such a disaster as a Trump-appointed HHS director & the right wing ideologue who pushed for mass Covid infection would turn out to be such a disaster as a Trump-appointed NIH director?🤔

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

Oh. Are Republican appointees total liars? What a huge shock. Have you asked your colleague Susan Collins for a take on this unprecedented dishonesty?

Deploying the Marines on American citizens while pardoning Jan. 6th rioters tells you everything you need to know. Anyone who still supports Trump is an enemy of democracy.

The other hilarious thing about the Mexican flag hand wringing is these people make it sound like Mexico is some distant enemy and not our biggest trading partner. It's also less than a 3 hour drive from LA.

yeah I'm not sure this is so much a petty feud between two men as it is the president of the United States sending troops to attack the people they're supposed to protect

Federal agencies—for many reasons—shouldn't be slinging memes. There are very few exceptions. But for these assholes to post this, in this particular context*, is revolting.

I am not a messaging professional I am just a rando on the internets but I think it would be cool if the opposition party took advantage of this public rift between the would-be king and his billionaire keeper by pointing out that the latter is yanking his leash

Also, to be temporarily serious, I hate that my political awareness as a citizen in a so-called representative government requires keeping up with the personal relationship of an unhinged billionaire private citizen and the man to whom he gifted the presidency

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday. They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials. THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.
