“The WH X acct is frequently preoccupied by rapid-response engagement bait for MAGA diehards. The shitposting: beneath the office, & the posts are genuinely SINISTER. By adding a photo of an #ICE arrest to a light-hearted viral thread -the WH account manages to perfectly capture the sociopathic, fascistic tone of the ironic detachment & glee of the internet’s darkest corners & most malignant trolls.

The admin pursues casual CRUELTY as a chief pol export.”

"Someone should tell Marco Rubio, DHS Secty Kristi Noem and Border czar Tom Homan that Trump's pardons will only protect them from being prosecuted in the US for federal crimes. It won't stop then from being prosecuted for crimes against humanity. And that is where they are heading."

The #TrumpMusk regime is letting children DIE bc #DOGE defunded the 64-yr-old #USAID🚨. This precious child is DEAD, & others will suffer & die.

"It was indeed difficult to obtain photos of the orphans who had died bc of the collapse of USAID: Bc they were dead, I couldn't photograph them, & impoverished orphans don't leave photo archives. But this is Evan Anzoo, from a social worker who helped him before he died💔 when USAID stopped providing his 12-cents-a-day med."

"New court filing, with 2 affidavits, Enemy Aliens Act plaintiffs:

🚨Eight women were mistakenly sent to El Salvador prison & had to be flown back.

Who was responsible for sending 8 women to a men's prison in El Salvador that's notorious for some of the worst #humanrights violations in the world? Must be a monster, Homan?

A legal document excerpt discusses a Venezuelan woman involved in deportation proceedings. It highlights her experience of being on a plane to El Salvador, the complications that arose, and the involvement of government officials regarding the handling of her situation. The document also references

MN St Sen Eichorn (R❗) was arrested for soliciting a teen on Mon, authorities said, hours after he introduced a bill proposing “Trump derangement syndrome” as a form of mental illness.

Bloomington PD detectives had communicated with Eichorn *under the assumption -talking to a 17-yr-old female. He arrived to meet the teen in person but was instead met by local officers.

The SSA is considering cutting payments to 170K ppl.

The agency is circulating a proposal to ban payments to ppl w/o SSNs.

The move would affect thousands of ppl getting retirement & disability payments.

There are several scenarios where ppl w/o SSNs accept benefits as the “representative payee” on behalf of eligible beneficiaries—incl. most disabled children +elderly or disabled adults -the💔most vulnerable ppl in America.

It also mentions public support for freezing foreign assistance…

"I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “#ASMR” video of shackled #immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over🚨inhumane detention, camps, &💔 deaths.

It's real -the official acct."

Please call your GOP Reps & Senators. Trump's EOs & policies: #sadism, #abuse, #barbarism, & violates #humanrights.
