Dehumanizing language is a precursor to genocide. Trump is already violating due process, injuring immigrants, separating families, imprisoning people without cause. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/09/m...
President Trump has denigrated immigrants before. But calling Somalis ‘garbage’ represents a new front, historians say. - The Boston Globe
Somali immigrants represent only the latest group President Trump has criticized while his administration carries out mass immigration raids.

The takeaway from TN tonight is: When we fight, we win. Don't ever let someone tell you a race isn't worth fighting for. It is still an incredible win to make a candidate from a Party that is acting despicably to answer to their constituents, and to make a "sure thing" race competitive.

- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

As we learn about the newly public Jeffrey Epstein emails today, let's remember that at least 25 women have accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment. Six did so in court. In the case of @ejeancarroll.bsky.social, a jury found that Trump was responsible for sexual abuse.
