'They may die': Allen Orr criticizes Trump’s targeting of Somali immigrants
Immigration attorney Allen Orr criticized President Trump’s move to revoke Temporary Protective Status of Somali refugees in the U.S. “We don’t have to return them to a situation in which they may die,” he said. 80,000 Somali-Americans in Minnesota are the latest target of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. “We’re making judgements on the value of individual lives, and that’s not okay,” Orr said.

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

Trump doesn't have “conflicts of interest” anymore.
A “conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation where Trump might choose his own interests over the nation’s.
But Trump isn’t conflicted about anything.
He's the most corrupt president in American history.
