First they came for the immigrants,

MAGA now celebrates cancel culture, promotes safe spaces for conservatives, believes free speech should be curtailed, and thinks words encourage violence.
Exact opposite of all their positions.
Its almost as if they're bad faith hypocrites who want power by any means necessary.

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now.
Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate.
Look at the double standards.
Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy.

🚨BREAKING: Massive police response at UMass Boston to an unconfirmed report of a shooting on campus.
UMass Boston initially urged the public to avoid part of its campus amid what it described as a "police incident" and later a "public safety threat."
This can't be the new normal.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion
Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion
Now he’s down to $150 billion
And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services
This clown will cut $58 billion
