I’m really tired of people saying identifying ICE is “doxxing”.

Since Trump‘s very racist post about the Obamas, some MAGA are peeling away. However too many others are still hanging on.

I’ve been meaning to read this one from Tom
Nichols for a while. It pretty accurately sums up what’s wrong with our country. Everyone thinks their opinion is just as good as anyone else’s, whether they know what they are talking about or not. #BookSky

BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.
Q: "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"
Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."
He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."
