A reminder that the Russian Orthodox Church is supported by Putin's government... Yeah. There's a reason for that, and it's got nothing to do with God.

The FBI is focused on immigration. The Department of HOMELAND SECURITY is wearing masks chasing roofers and abuela's around cities. No one is focused on actual terror. These crimes aren't being committed by undocumented immigrants no matter how much the Republican Doormat Congress and Trump say it.
Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

REPORTER: What are your thoughts on the Eighth Amendment's protections against cruel and unusual punishment?
DONALD TRUMP: We're taking a serious look at this amendment. I think it's a nasty amendment, and quite frankly, your question was even nastier. Your network shouldn't even exist.

This is appalling. Again, Trump and ICE have had the option to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica for weeks and weeks. They won't explain why they refuse to do this. But we know why: Because they've decided it isn't dehumanizing or cruel enough.
