The party that gleefully cheers on the real-life killing of civilians now stoking fear that they may hypothetically be caught in the crosshairs is the most on-the-nose "Face-eating leopards" shit I have seen in my adult life.

Wild that he’s just saying that last part out loud now
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom.
going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.
