My first grader (a US citizen) came home from school crying because a friend from class (also a US citizen) hasn’t been coming to school because his parents (one of whom is not a citizen) are afraid of ICE.

Little kids don’t have concepts of racism and xenophobia. That has to be taught. Or imposed.

YouTube video by MS NOW ‘To his bones a racist’: Hayes says Trump ‘taking the mask off’ with Obama video

WATCH: “There is a clear pattern here. They are pursuing a racist agenda. That video—usefully perhaps—was just Trump fully taking the mask off,” says Chris Hayes.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

so funny to see republicans complaining about this as if they have not been pulling this shit for 15 years.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.

(CBS News) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014.

In fairness, he’s no more racist than the guy who was president before Biden.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

"They bought or inherited aging apartment buildings, hoping to bring home a little extra cash"

... bought, or inherited, whole ass apartment buildings

I don't know what happens next, but Liam and his family are not being deported today.

BREAKING:

New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:

"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

Fun thought experiment: Imagine if Biden told Ted Cruz he would withhold funds for a new highway overpass in Dallas until Cruz agreed to name the entire Texas interstate system after him.

We don't really need to connect the dots because Trump is doing it for us. He wants to take control of federal elections so he can rig them in his favor. He knows he can't win a fair election.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.

Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

Trump Posts Video Online Depicting Obamas as Apes California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the video ‘disgusting.’

President Trump posted a video including imagery depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes.

That’s it, exactly. ICE is trying to figure out how to make us scared. They tried following us home, didn’t work. Tried threatening us with arrest, didn’t work. Tried arresting us, didn’t work. Tried tear-gassing us, didn’t work. People just keep not being afraid of them and following them around.

Administration Social Media Posts Echo White Supremacist Messaging

“echo” is a weird way to say “are”

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

Oh, were there other, less racist things, senator?
