I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

DAY 1/ Wall Street Journal: "Shooter was motivated by trans/antifa grievances."

DAY 2/ WSJ finds out the shooter was not trans or antifa, but a Trump supporter who was a huge fan of Charlie Kirk's notorious rival Nick Fuentes.

DAY 3/ WSJ: "We have no idea what motivated the shooter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

Last month, the IRS' acting general counsel Andrew De Mello refused to turn over the addresses of 7.3 million taxpayers sought by ICE, saying he'd identified multiple legal “deficiencies” in ICE's request.

Two days later, De Mello was forced out of his job.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names.

None of the names of the 230+ Venezuelan deportees the Trump administration sent to CECOT matched those on the lists.

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes
Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

FEMA will no longer to door-to-door to assist you in a disaster, but ICE will go door-to-door to kidnap you and turn your life into a disaster. America has its priorities, y'all!

Ethnic cleansing has begun in the United States.

Denying it is complicity.

They've built the camps. We're watching kidnappings daily. Without due process, immigration status doesn't even matter anymore.

There is no freedom to celebrate here today.

We've lost the United States.
The founding fathers, men of immense vision and selective blindness, drafted liberty into ink while slavery rattled its chains just beyond the parchment’s edge.

Trump supports don’t care that Trump is an adjudicated rapist who was charged with 34 felonies.

But they DO care if a refugee from Mexico stole a loaf of bread.

I’m kidding. They’re just racists.

In the latest from #Hatewatch, we name Trump personnel, from Cabinet members to staffers, who have expressed a variety of racist, misogynistic and bigoted ideas, or who have ties to racist activists.
