A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend

The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting

Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, & transnational reach of these atrocities against [victims], that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity"

Clearer daily just how ridiculous it is that DoJ is trying "nothing more to see here" w this.
Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts
Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of ‘grave’ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls

When Trump finally makes himself the Dictator of America, the first thing he's going to do is take your guns. Dictators don't let anyone have weapons for fear of a revolt. Read about Hitler's "Night of the Long Knives" if you want to see what Trump supporters can expect.

All the signs are there. Including his followers who say "SO WHAT" when it's pointed out to them. Hi top advisers are all huge fans of fascism.

🗣️ A drivers license or REAL ID does *not* prove your citizenship.

You would need more than that to vote under the SAVE America Act.

Noem is an example of two things. 1 she should not be in charge of DHS. 2 The Coast Guard should not be answers to DHS. They protected this country since their inception, they are up to the task. DHS however has been compromised. Hijacked.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.
