DHS’s pack of liars:
Time after time, official statements from DHS — including ICE and the Border Patrol — have turned out to be malicious fabrications, often intended to blame the victims for their own brutality.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.

Let's normalise backing up our stated facts on social media (about anything important and contentious) with source links.
If we're the ones with verifiable truth on our side, then let's draw that distinction at every available opportunity. Make taking an Internet stranger's word for it weird again.
