Susan Collins could stop this she won’t. Along with her votes on justices who took away Roe she has arguably done more to harm America than any single senator.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

I studied fascism and I’m still here and fighting after being arrested for protesting, motherfuckers, you’re all a bunch of cowardly shitass punks
“I got a job in Canada because I’m scared of where this country is going” does not send the heroic, bold message these guys think it does, especially after they’ve let it just become a huge media blitz.
