When you have to walk around in the country where you were born with proof of citizenship to avoid detention, it's not a war on illegal immigration, it's a war on visible minorities. White supremacy at its best.

"The cartoon depicted Bezos, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and OpenAI chief Sam Altman on their knees, handing over bags of cash to a statue of Trump next to a lipstick-holding Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong and bowing Mickey Mouse."
