"concentration camp regime": not hyperbole....

incarcerating "undocumented" human beings is inhumane, cruel and far from the values of freedom and equality that should be centered in an American vision based on true principles of our founding...

These are being planned all over...must be stopped

Lance Cooper: "Trump is a morally bankrupt racist pedophile who continues to fail as a leader. You can’t be a decent person while supporting Donald Trump; it’s no longer political. If you're backing him at this point, it's because the hatred he spreads resonates with something inside of you."

The video was up for 12 hours before the White House deleted and now are trying to blame it on staffers.

These performative outrages from Republican Congressional Members are meaningless.

Every single one of them own what comes from Trump and this WH. They coddled and enabled & bootlicked them.

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
