Here’s how some human rights and LGBTQ+ groups prepared for major foreign aid cuts under Trump

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Misogyny and racism put people's safety at risk and don't lower the cost of living for anyone.

Every Trump rally is a Klan rally.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Yet Yugoslavia was never part of the USSR....I get the point, just dislike the inaccuracy.
Seems odd that we never talk about the fact that Donald Trump's father-in-law was born in the USSR, was a member of the Communist Party for decades, has been accused of crimes, and worked for the state after Yugoslavia detached from the USSR

He also always had more money than anyone could explain
