MAGA won’t believe Trump’s guilt with evidence, but they’ll believe an immigrant’s guilt with none—of course it’s not rationale, the logic of supremacy never is.

I love to see this. Fight for democracy like your lives depend on it.

Ford's daughter needs $100K for husband's disciplinary battle Krista Ford Haynes has launched an online fundraiser to finance legal support for her husband’s disciplinary battle with the Toronto police.

Some acknowledgment of science and public health would be nice! DoFo’s daughter was fundraising for her police officer husband’s trial, he was suspended for not getting vaccinated for covid-19 when it was a work requirement. Makes me wonder about Ford 👀 toronto.citynews.ca/2025/01/28/d...

You are looking at the purest personifications of evil.
