This kind of divisive rhetoric is beneath the dignity of the office of the Vice President of the United States.
The Vice President’s claim also isn’t backed by evidence. In fact, most data points in the opposite direction.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

My fear is that this entire year is essentially a period of behind-the-scenes preparation for even larger maneuvers against citizens than we have already seen against legal residents, naturalized citizens and undocumented migrants.
And Herr Miller has all but admitted it.

So let me get this straight: the purpose of legacy media now, is to venerate Trump, white supremacy and Christian nationalism (and also Israel…) and any journalist of color who doesn’t go along will be fired.
Karen Attiah, a black woman, got fired for
A: accurately quoting what Charlie Kirk said about Black women
B: Accurately observing that most white Americans seem permissive of white violence.
It's bullshit, but almost expected in this white supremacist country.

What is with these people and projection? They routinely accuse their opponents for the very things they are guilty of. It's Grade School Bullying 101.
staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

Every single person sent to CECOT was denied their 5th Amendment right to due process and their 8th Amendment right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment.
Every single person involved in denying these rights must be removed from their job and criminally prosecuted.

I like how their need for laborers is somehow everyone else’s fault. We’re not too spoiled. It not the kind of work we want to do. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, hoss. Do your own labor.
Farmers in deep-red Pennsylvania are struggling to find workers. They're pushing lawmakers to move faster on a farm labor solution, even as Trump cracks down on immigration.
“We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do," said one farmer and three-time Trump voter.
