*record scratch* *freeze frame* yup that’s me. you’re probably wondering how i ended up in this situation.
Honestly though, there's not much to wonder about? We freaked white people out about immigrants and used voter suppression to keep everyone else from voting, it's not rocket science.
I'm honestly surprised it worked though. My colleagues kept saying the quiet parts loud: "Everybody shouldn't be voting", "immigration is how we're going to win", that kind of thing.
I figured the Democrats would do... something.
Break the filibuster to pass voting rights? Put forward an actual message on immigration for the 75% of Americans who support a pathway to citizenship?
Nope. We just closed polling places and yelled about MS-13 and that was that.
Now I'm the Senate Majority Leader again, Marjorie Taylor Green is Speaker of the House, and as soon as we're done impeaching Biden we'll install Trump as President for Life.
And I can die happy, because every day is Tax Cut Day...

We don't want this future to happen.
We don't think you do either.
We need all hands on deck counter the GOP's anti-immigrant strategy to seize power.
ICE is racing to deport Black people to Haiti as fast as they possibly can. And they're not letting ANYTHING get in their way.
A thread:
You might think that if you aren't *from* Haiti, aren't a Haitian citizen, and HAVE NEVER BEEN TO HAITI IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, that would probably stop ICE from deporting you to Haiti.
Paul Pierrilus thought that too. But last month, ICE proved him wrong.
On January 8th, her dad William left their LA apartment for what he thought was a normal day: working one of his 3 jobs, returning home to be with his wife & daughter, and caring for his disabled mother.
But he never made it home.
ICE was waiting for him.
William came to Los Angeles in 1977 as a fifteen year old boy.
He was fleeing El Salvador, which was descending into civil war. He was reuniting with his mother, a U.S. citizen.
He's lived in LA for 44 years; it's his home, it's his family, it's his life.
ICE wanted him gone.
With her dad in ICE detention, Valerie was completely distraught. She couldn't imagine life without him, for herself or her family. It would be the end of the world as she knew it.
Congress should immediately begin impeachment proceedings upon return. The constitution allows for impeachment of former officers. The only real consequence for his actions will be if he is disqualified from holding future office.
2⃣The other participants in the failed coup must be expelled.
Our representatives must support the introduction of @CoriBush's resolution to expel members of congress that backed the failed coup.
