The administration argues the men's home countries won't take them — but lawyers say getting sent to a country like South Sudan could lead to more persecution.
The White House is deporting people to countries they're not from. Why?

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order.

America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law.

Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come.

Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

We all knew this was a grift from the start.
And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America.

They're not "pro-life."
They're pro controlling women's bodies.

Believe me, in the coming shitstorm of the Trump presidency this will be the last thing anyone's thinking about.
Rep. Dan Goldman: "I find it pretty ironic and hypocritical that so many Republicans have seemed to find the rule of law when it comes to Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter, and are happily ignorant of the rule of law when it comes to Donald Trump and everything he has done."
