The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched.

This fucking waste of political space Rosa DeLauro was first elected to Congress in 1990 when I was 19 YEARS OLD. I'm 55. She has to GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeLauro has faced exactly one competitive election in her life and it was before I was born.
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.
“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

People with a lot of reach need to share this information on social media and YouTube.
If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip.

Reporter: You frequently criticized Biden for not knowing what was going on in his name, this racist video that was posted on your social media—
Trump: You don’t know what’s going on. I know what’s going on. We know everything.

I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.
This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

Hey @igorbobic.bsky.social fuck this shitty take.
So this is a headline on Huffpost:
"Republicans Condemn 'Incredibly Offensive' Trump Post About The Obamas"
Are you fucking kidding me? 3 fucking Republicans said something. 3.
Stop giving them credit for not even doing the absolute minimum. This is ludicrous.

The manager/owner defended their decision to serve ICE agents and said something about not discriminating against them.
