Stop saying “DEI” or “equity-related.”
Stop using the words they choose to mask their vile racist ideology with the language of those they hate.
Say they want to remove any books that speak to the lives of anyone who isn’t white, straight, Christian, or male.
Name the hate. Make them own it.

And could we get a visual of the size of the US Navy boat next to their "targets" ... it's preposterous.
These are monstrous machines of war. The boats they are shooting are unarmed.
You want the drugs? Want the drug dealers. Point your guns at them and simply take them.

If you care, Kennedy, you publicly call on the House to bring up articles of impeachment against RFK today.
No "thought and prayers," no hand-wringing.
Either call for his impeachment, or just be quiet. You have strong influence to stop this. Anything else is just performative nonsense.
