World Central Kitchen: "We have 276 trucks, with the equivalent of almost 8 million meals, ready to enter through the Rafah Crossing. Dozens of these trucks have already entered Gaza this week. To date we have distributed more than 46 million meals and we are eager and ready to deliver millions more." https://wck.org/news/resume-work-gaza

"Trump’s attorney then accused her of profiting off Trump’s trial by 'shilling merchandise,' prompting Daniels to fire back: 'Not unlike Mr. Trump.'"

"Trump sat nearby, often closing his eyes. But he became so incensed by Daniels’ testimony that the judge urged his attorneys to warn him against making his feelings so obvious in front of the jury."

“It's a racist conspiracy theory with roots in 1930s Nazi Germany that is being fully embraced and strategically deployed by the Republican Party from top to bottom.”

"In a July 2023 email to supporters, the Trump campaign employed an image that bears striking resemblance to a Nazi-era cartoon of a hook-nosed puppet master manipulating world figures: Mr. Soros as puppet master, pulling the strings controlling President Biden."

“The Times also found that House and Senate Republicans increasingly used 'Soros' and 'globalist' in ways that evoked the historical tropes, from just a handful of messages in 2013 to more than 300 messages from 79 members in 2023."

“Asked for evidence that undocumented immigrants vote heavily in federal elections, Johnson said it was just something everyone knows, while admitting nobody can prove it.”

Fox’s migrants-displaced-vets source has been charged with defrauding military charities and the Veteran’s Administration and falsely claiming to be a Purple Heart recipient. Shocker: the network hasn’t mentioned any of it.

This week marked six years since Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III stepped in front of cameras to announce that it would be the official US policy to tear children, including nursing infants and toddlers, from the arms of asylum-seeking parents: https://americasvoice.org/blog/the-cruelty-was-the-point-of-trumps-family-separation-horror-show/

In a meeting w/U.S. attorneys that month, Sessions called for no mercy. “‘We need to take away children,’ Mr. Sessions told the prosecutors, according to participants’ notes,” the NYT reported in 2020. His deputy, Rod Rosenstein, told prosecutors “that it did not matter how young the children were.”

Senator Roger Marshall’s “invasion” rhetoric is straight out of the mouths of domestic terrorists, America’s Voice Senior Research Director Zachary Mueller writes at The Kansas City Star.

“His language is not ‘tough talk.’ Marshall’s repeated references to an ‘invasion’ are already associated with a significant body count.”

Six years later, 1,400 children remain separated from their families due to the Trump admin’s policy.

Remember that children were ripped from parents without so much as a chance to hug goodbye.

“I had no idea where they were taking us,” one dad said. “I told my son to not be afraid and that everything was going to be OK. I told him to be a good boy.”

In several of the lawsuits filed by families against the Trump administration over the policy, parents described being told by federal immigration officials that they would never see their children again.

“Some were taken under the guise of being given baths,” The Washington Post reported in 2019. Some parents were even told that their children would be put up for adoption.

Just look at some of the headlines from over a decade ago. “Alabama immigration: crops rot as workers vanish to avoid crackdown.” Another: “Alabama farmers losing immigrant labor, see produce rotting in the fields.” Since lawmakers there are refusing to revisit their own past, we did it for them👇🏽

Trump plans to recruit police and National Guard from GOP governors to locate and deport millions of workers, including at least 1m farmworkers, at least 1.5m construction workers, 140,000 caregivers, and 20,000 teachers.

When Trump was asked about law that prohibits the use of military force on civilians, he basically said he didn't care. Believe him.

From Time's new interview w/Trump: “For [a deportation] operation of that scale, Trump says he would rely mostly on the National Guard to round up and remove undoc migrants throughout the country.”

"He would also seek help from local police and says he would deny funding for jurisdictions that decline to adopt his policies.” https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_term=politics_donald-trump&linkId=414827952
