Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable

This is less like appeasement and more like two mob families deciding how to divide up a rival's territory.
"Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr. and campaign donor to his father, has been in talks to acquire a stake in a Russian Arctic gas project if it is released from sanctions.”

They haven't even gone to the pretense of giving him some made-up official role and title, as they easily could and did during the first term. They're flaunting the lawlessness and patrimonialism, as if being a close relative of Trump is in and of itself enough to be conducting foreign policy.
We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work.

When my dad’s brain broke, he was in the locked memory care unit.
Dad thought he was a minister, and walked around blessing others there, and offering communion.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
