The fact that Donald Trump decided to exclude Democratic governors from a White House event is emblematic of a larger problem:

Trump sees himself as president of only some of the country.

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement

CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?

STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors

CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

Every study shows that being in a jail or prison, no matter how "nice" or whatever, shortens your lifespan. It does. So the government is taking years off the lives of people, including children, when it opts to put them in jail.

Thanks to ProPublica for citing my prior @texasobserver.org report in their story about how an "election fraud" researcher who is a convicted bathroom voyeur may be fueling the federal government's investigations

MAGA preferring lip-syncing Kid Rock to Bad Bunny is what white supremacy looks like! Kid Rock's halftime show featured 4 white performers by design. It was a celebration of whites only. While Bad Bunny was a celebration of the best of America. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/maga-prefe...

This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.

From 12-year-old Ender, detained 60+ days
Page 1 of a child’s handwritten letter, written in Spanish in a cursive script. Translation: “Hello I am Ender and I am 12 years old, I have been at this center  for 2 months. I arrived here for an immigration appointment and I don’t think they should grab immigrants who are innocent, like instead of grabbing criminals because I mean they prefer to lock up children than look for people who really shouldn’t be in the U.S. They told me I could only be here 21 days but I have already spent more than 60 days waking up eating the same repetitive meals, going outside and that the majority of guards never pay attention to people, eating dinner  always the same as the day before, seeing people cry every day for the same reasons, trying to sleep in that horrible uncomfortable bed, going to the doctor and that the only thing they tell you is to drink more water and the worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here…” Page 2 of a child’s handwritten letter, written in Spanish in a cursive script. Translation: “…going to wait for the bad answers from the judges, hearing the bad news from people who no longer have hope, having to share a room with minimum 3 families, and all that so they send us back to our countries.” Below the text is a drawing in pen of three women, titled “My family” and labeled with “Mama,” “Sister,” and “me” in Spanish.

MAGA complaining that they didn't understand Bad Bunny's performance has nothing to do with a language barrier.

It has EVERYTHING to do with a HUMANITY barrier.

Just a reminder, Obama & Biden deported more unlawful immigrants than Trump; and they were deported by the folks in windbreakers, fully visible faces, and lawful IDs.

NOT the violent, untrained, masked, murderous, and unConstitutional thugs of Trump.
