βIβve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,β Trump told New York magazine in 2002. βHeβs a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.β

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.
it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
