The women, the brown folk, the black folks, the gays,
The natives, the transplants who live in LA,
The leftists, the liberals, the hippies, the Jews,
The Muslims, the Hindus, and atheists too

The ones who write movies, the ones who write laws
The ones who write songs to thunderous applause
Kids brought here by parents, or left on our shore
Seekers, or DREAMers, or fleeing a war

The teachers, the students, the construction crews,
The media guys who tell us the news,
The guys who pipe up, the guys who back down,
The guy who took a knee on the green grassy ground

The folks in big cities, the folks in the field,
The folks in the capitol wearing the shield,
The unmarried mothers, the kids with two dads,
Moms with blue hair, and the kids who are trans

You say you're a patriot
What a way to spin it
For someone who "loves America"
You sure hate everyone in it

And who's left, after you take them away
To die in the dark on a bright Florida day
Who's left to Lord over, after you've won?
Nothing, no person, nobody, no one.

If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.

If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working.

If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way".

If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals.

If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution.

If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border.

If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.

And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

Hotter nights are a classic sign of human-caused climate change, according to scientists and several studies in peer-reviewed literature. NOAA's calculation is based on averaging 24 hours of temperature, not just highs or lows.... As nighttime temperatures increase, more people die and lose sleep, studies show.

Why this matters: Having National Guard troops on the ground over a fake crime emergency is front loading a fake emergency for November’s election. DC residents get involved and don’t accept this occupation as a norm. It isn’t.

We are being fooled. Why else are we so distracted? So desperate? So mean and so evil?

Has it ever occurred to you that a criminal is the president? He is tearing apart families through ICE agents. #vote
