A 🧵 with poem on RFK, Jr.'s indifference to human beings on the autism spectrum. Read the poem in the first or last post of the thread, your choice.
Amidst the blizzard of disturbing news this month, Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s remarks on autism stand out as some of the more frightening parts. (1/6)

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

A President calling for the death of political opponents will never be acceptable and should be grounds for removal. Now and forever.

So let me get this straight: The same Trump DOJ that labeled this woman a “domestic terrorist,” shot her five times, and smeared her across national security briefings… is now quietly trying to wipe the whole thing clean?

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Because the Trump DO(In)J is more worried about "exploding" sandwiches than out of control baby Brownshirts attacking priests, crashing cars, shooting US citizens, and kidnapping our neighbors.

The “forcibly” issue hangs on whether any action — in this case, yes, the throwing of the possibly, possibly not, exploding sandwich — must have carried a risk of inflicting bodily harm.

We've found DHS is giving local cops a new facial recognition app to find immigrants. Point camera at face, tells the cop to detain person or not. The app is available on Google's Play Store. Google took down apps that report ICE sightings but now hosts this app

Our very serious Federal Department of Justice doing the very serious work of bringing to justice those who would wreak havoc on our streets with bread, meat, and cheese (uh, plus onions and mustard). 🧵
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
