JB Pritzker: “We’re a nation mostly of immigrants — that is who we are fundamentally at our core. We ought to always be that, it’s what’s made our country great — Immigrants are the most entrepreneurial. Immigrants are the most grateful & patriotic”

The cruelty is 100% the point. They do it as an act of terror: to effectively say 'no matter how legal your status is, no matter how illegal our actions are, no matter how much public support you get, we WILL destroy you and your family, at all costs, with no exceptions.' That's the regime's message

I’ve been seeing posts where folks are claiming Kamala Harris would’ve been just as bad as what we’re getting now from this regime.

I can’t engage with bullshit that masquerades as logic.

Undocumented immigrants also can't get ACA or Medicaid, or Medicare. So the WH is publishing a lie.

Folks like "I'm agreeing with Rand Paul" and feeling weird about it should reframe.

Rand Paul is agreeing with you. About one, maybe two, possibly a handful of things.

Rand Paul is a stopped clock and still a self-centered destructive shit but sometimes possibly useful. Also still a bad person.

Think of what Rand Paul is saying in terms of the Voting Rights Act

Then substitute the words “Black people” for “Democrats”

Because Republicans-backed by the Supreme Court-have been disenfranchising minorities for years
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

There is now officially a class of people who have survived multiple mass shootings. We are a country without serious or effective leadership (and I don't just mean since DJT showed up.)

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

It was only little over a year ago.
