They frame it as people displaying hate symbols are being hated, and that’s divisive… when they are the ones being hateful themselves. And bureaucratic language will not change the impact these symbols have! They will never bring anything but division and hate - that’s their whole purpose

Not really. They only select a few callers for questions and nobody said anything confrontational. There were concerns, but nobody called him out in his “reassurances”.

This isn’t the transparency the people are asking for

And he just talks as if it is all for our benefit. The scary thing is, he is able to state things in a way that’s almost believable. If people are uninformed (and many are), I can see how they might fall in line. But he is a liar and a cruel person, with not a care for his constituents’ needs

Scolds? Sooo will the Justice Dept face justice themselves? Seems like this pattern of behavior won’t stop without any real consequences

This also happened to Alma Bowman, a disabled woman who spent nearly three years in ICE custody during first Trump term

She wrote bad cheques, paid them off & they grabbed her anyways

When she was released, she was a whistleblower. She exposed atrocities in the camps

They’ve locked her up again
Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.
