I will never forgive trump supporters for their cruelty and sadism.
Imagine voting for this on purpose
It’s fascinating that the MAGAs really seem to think fucking up American air travel out of pure spite (by suddenly shutting down TSA Precheck and Global Entry) on a day where a blizzard is hitting the entire Northeast will make people like them *more*

Most Americans already reject Trump’s ICE brutality but wait till they see this…
“Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE in Trump's first year had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal DHS document” www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

If, in this year’s midterm elections, just a few Republicans stay home and a few independents who voted Republican in 2024 support Democrats instead, we can transform the government from a budding dictatorship to a functioning republic again. lnk.thebulwark.com/4qndOUC

Most Americans aren’t aware that Trump’s recent immigration bans affect whole categories of people who have been protected in the past — including adopted children.

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.
Cashing in on cruelty.
Skeet by Keith Stewart @climatekeith.bsky.social: RIP Renee sign at the anti-hate rally at Toronto City Hall today (which greatly outnumbered the racist Canada First protest) Picture: A red banner reading "REFUGEES WELCOME!" alongside signs that read "RIP Renee MURDERED BY ICE" at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. Protestors mill about the area as well.
Few knew of Keith Porter until after Renee Good was killed. The collective consciousness feels police brutality is the lot of Black men, not WW.
Good's murder was tragic. Porter's came with the territory, right? If there were any signs for Porter today, I wonder how many non-Black people held them.
A federal judge in Boston interrupted the administration’s efforts to force 15,000 people with legal status in the US to leave by revoking their parole just days before Christmas. Learn who these people are & ask yourself how this makes us any safer. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
This. A thousand times this.

Q: “Why do you think Trump is working so hard to stop the Epstein files from coming out?”
REPUBLICAN Rep. Massie: “These files implicate billionaires, friends of Trump, political donors — and Epstein had ties to 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 intelligence agencies.”
The Department of Justice failed to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny, Republican and Democratic lawmakers said.
