A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The Democratic politician commitment to boilerplate tragedy comms is not all that different from "thoughts and prayers." This is as much a time for "they were killed while enforcing Trump's dumb racist stunts" as any school shooting is for calling out the NRA.
Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

there is no comprehensive list of dangerous criminal undocumented migrants. nor are there many of them in the country at all. “mass deportations” are by definition gonna be almost exclusively peaceful immigrants and sweep up LPRs, people on visas, these are the easy people to locate!
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.
