Trust, everything from the kidnappings and illegal deportations to the hot mic threats targeting U.S. citizens, & the removal of people who are here legally simply for protesting human rights violations are part of a tactic to scare you into silence & submission.

Of course, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being labeled a terrorist and criminal! This is what they do to justify their wrongdoings! They dehumanize and feed you lies to make injustice look like justice! It’s straight from the white "supremacy" playbook, used to carry out terror WITH public approval!

I’m not necessarily afraid of the idiots and the racists... they’ll always find a way to exist. What truly scares me are the people who let them decide what they’re allowed to know. The ones willing to let them take away their access to the whole truth

I wish I could be shocked by Trump’s insidious comments about denying Palestinians the right to return to their homes and the blatant attempt at a land grab. It's disgusting and expected

Meanwhile, those who are actually placed in positions through DEI and Affirmative Action in reality are overqualified, highly skilled, brilliant, holding multiple degrees (who would not have been hired in this racist ass country had affirmative action/DEI never been implemented).

Trump is a very sick person leading an already sick nation, built on oppressive ideals, who, by his own logic, and his distorted understanding of DEl, holds his position (in the warped dimension where DEI means what HE says it means), despite being an unqualified, mediocre, and unhinged white male.

It takes a certain type of narcissism and psychopathy to desire a career & lifestyle devoted to upholding Power, Government & Authoritarianism It screams being afraid (fear) & a lack of identity more than anything else
