No one “hates America” more than Donald Trump. He never shuts up about it. He wishes he could be king of a less unruly people, like the Germans.

Most Americans are genuinely good people, regardless of their political affiliation.
So when the White House says horrible things to make you hate your neighbor, the White House IS THE PROBLEM.

At the South Portland ICE facility, after pushing back the crowd to let some vehicles leave, agents gassed the street for approximately 10 minutes solid. S Bancroft was opaque with gas; agents also threw flash grenades and shot pepper bullets.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

I showed my husband and he laughed. I said, "if Obama did it you wouldn't think it was funny". 😡
