To all my "friends & family" that AGAIN voted for Trump:
I was wrong.
After 8+ years and 3 elections, I FINALLY heard you, Trump voters. I listened...really listened...to his message, over and over, just like you. I saw what he did, just like you. I heard his message, which became your message.🧵

This is my friend.
His name is Christian Smalls.
He founded the Amazon Labor union
Not as a professional activist, but as a worker who decided he’d had enough.
Recently, he was beaten and detained by the IDF
And no one in the MSM is talking about it.

I created & posted this on my other SM accounts as a sarcastic alternative to "Happy 4th."
A friend said I was being "hyperbolic."
I would challenge anyone to ask the new & future residents of "Alligator Auschwitz" if they view this as "hyperbole."
Check your white privilege, folks.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.
Easy money, no risk.
Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

We cancel research and education grants, then spend money on this:
U.S. immigration detention is a profit-driven enterprise. Private corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic receive billions in federal contracts, earning daily revenue per detainee. The more migrants detained, the greater the profit—turning human suffering into a business model.

He won’t say Russia is the aggressor.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.
ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.
