    So we’re gonna all just blow past the president of the United States threatening private citizens who accuse him of rape, huh?

    This isn’t a “border militia” and they’re not “detaining” or “arresting” people. This is a white nationalist terrorist group kidnapping desperate people.

    Racism isn’t a political tactic you discuss the practical pros and cons of on national tv. Racism isn’t a form of social tension. Racism is a violent, hateful ideology that has resulted in the deaths of untold millions of people and should treated as such. This isn’t hard.

    There is no ethical or moral defense of Woodward's decision to not publish these tapes as soon as they were made. If there was any chance it could save a single life, he was obligated to do so. Bob Woodward put making money over his moral and professional duty.

    Scott Walker, who literally has never fought anything worse than a mild case of the fucking Mondays and who's greatest sacrifice was that weird bald spot, is shit talking an entire generation of people that has been at war for most of their goddamn lives.

    I feel like the President threatening to execute his enemies and preparing for a war should be a bigger deal

    Line outside the La Paz Faith center in El Paso for the memorial service of Marjorie Reckard, who was killed in the El Paso shooting. Her husband Antonio Basco, invited the public because they have no family. El Paso Juarez is showing up strong for Mr Basco

    Holy shit how did I miss that Donald Trump thinks the “coyotes” people talk about on the border are real coyotes. That’s ... Christ that’s a dangerous level of stupid.

    Replying to @politico
    “A nation without borders is a nation not at all. Without borders, we have the reign of chaos, crime, cartels and believe it or not, coyotes,” Trump said of the Senate spending bill he's refusing to sign due to it not meeting his demands on border security funding

    A 6 yo asylum seeker nearly died of cardiac arrest in Nov. after having been taken into custody by CBP. A 5 month old is being treated for pneumonia after being held in a CBP “icebox” cell. A 7 yo died in CBP custody. Those are just the ones we’ve learned about the last 10 days

    Marianne Williamson is a crazy person who opposes vaccines and thinks she can pray away a fucking nuclear holocaust. And yet some of y’all are trying your hardest to treat her like a serious person. The fuck is wrong with y’all
