Anyway, shout out to the people that hear the GOP saying "We can't defund ICE!🤡" and think, "They don't know that the world thinks that they're evil fascists!"

But then turn around and unironically say, "We can't defund the police!🤡" knowing full well how many innocent people US cops kill.

”Man I wish Trump cared about cost control as much as he cared about starting World War III” is just such a bizarre thing to say.

Seriously, are there any tax lawyers who will tell a widow at the end of their rope what to do?

I don't know how to tell the iRS my husband is dead.

Y'all want to vote your way out of this mess in 2026 and 2028. But some of y'all are still pushing "tough on crime?" candidates?

Good luck with that.

"Tough on crime" is a euphemism for "super racist."

As I said would happen, crime is *decreasing* in Baltimore and Chicago with *fewer* cops.

Under Trump 2024, the pain of fascism is shared by more groups of people. More people are in the undesirables group, and more are exposed to state violence.

Under Biden, it was more heavily concentrated just on Black people.

"Trump is worse!" does not mean "Biden was awesome!"

This thread is not to minimize the horrors of CECOT.

This thread is to say that I wish more people knew about and cared about how many innocent Black people have had their lives destroyed by the exact same horrors.

This tears Black families apart.

Here's some white pride: Jim Brown was a proud white man. He was proud of being white! He was also super anti-racist.

But y'all don't want to put up statues of him? Why not?

If you kept slaves and stole from Black people? He would steal from you.

Closest thing to Robin Hood in the past 200 years.
