To me, the Christmas message is that we should care for the needy and vulnerable. I don't understand people who think it means we should smash the car windows of immigrants, tear-gas neighborhoods and zip-tie children.
May federal agents lose their masks and find their souls.

"but liberals are worse" is the refrain I get.
When asked "how?" it's always harrumphing and deflecting.

From my anecdotal data: They like some policies enough to ignore all the bad things and are reinforced in this choice with belief that:
• they're all bad, so it doesn't matter
• the alternative are communist marxist socialist trans antifa destroying our country
• they're all bad, so it doesn't matter

My parents do not. Every time politics come up and I bring up X or Y crazy shit that Trump or his admin has done recently they just straight up do not believe me or assume I am exaggerating because they figure they would have heard about it. They aren't "pricing it in", they are straight up ignorant

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Fwiw I think the “apologize for being white” thing is very clearly about making sure white people don’t feel an obligation to alleviate past injustices or make society fairer. Ultimately to do that you have to raise taxes and the billionaires holding Vance’s leash don’t want that.

Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.
The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.
