Alex Pretti is dead.

Renee Good is dead.

Keith Porter Jr—say his name in the same breath—is DEAD.

ALL because of Donald Trump’s ICE-stopo and their cold-blooded killing of US citizens.

My GOD, what must our immigrant friends be enduring?! In detention centers, crammed shoulder-to-shoulder, in cages—being starved and frozen?!

So far, 36 deaths of our, WHAT?!, brown-skinned/wrongly-colored-skinned people? ICE is grabbing ANYONE off the street who doesn’t appear white. No chance to even show papers. They’re being snatched by lawless ICE goons, empowered by Trump and especially Vance who says they’ve got “absolute immunity.”

Pretti, Good, and Porter—all murdered by ICE agents, with no remorse. “Fuckin’ bitch,” were the words uttered by Johnathan Ross, the murderer who fired 3 bullets into Renee.

Think of ALL of our friends, family, neighbors being held right now in filthy detention centers by the United States Department of Homeland Security. Hundreds of thousands of individuals. People! Fellow Earth-dwellers. What the fuck?! What gives the US, Donald Trump, the right to declare these people animals and less deserving?!

AND THE CHILDREN! WHAT. THE. FUCK!! Thousands of precious children: kidnapped, caged, and abused in Trump’s detention camps.

5 year old Liam, used as bait to snatch his father. Currently in US custody!

For the love of that Christian God all the MAGAs pray to—I hope that God sends them ALL straight to HELL for supporting Trump and his catastrophic people-harming policies.

WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMON DECENCY?

Did every Republican just one day decide: if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em? And now they let Trump do whatever he wants?! Where is Congressional oversight? Is this all just about money?!

Is that where we are today? Money is now GOD? Can’t fight Trump? So just join him? Make millions on the side by investing in the private prison companies?

Imprison and kill entire populations? Just because Trump says so?! No sweat, right, Republicans?

It’s all just another money-making racket. PRIVATE PRISONS. And now, Federal prisons under the direction of Trump, gobbling up taxpayer money WHILE ABUSING OUR US IMMIGRANT POPULATION?! LEGALITY BE DAMNED. DUE PROCESS BE DAMNED.

All of this panic and pain, orchestrated by the felon in the White House, Donald J Trump, modeling Hitler’s playbook. With help from Republicans and putrid, lyin’, orange taint-licking assholes like “Democrat” John Fetterman and the other six sick Dem sellouts in the House who just approved ICE funding.

Fuck them All. Trump. ICE. And the sellouts!

Trump’s pockets are full of private prison money. Blood money. And he’s passing it around as US citizens and undocumented people here in the US get taken and abused.

Now, after the deaths of Keith, Renee, and Alex, the blood is on the hands of ANYONE who votes to give ICE more funding.

This is not hard, Congresspeople!

NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE.

SHUT THESE VIOLENT TRUMP THUGS DOWN!

Signed,

One More Outraged US Citizen

Fuck Donald Trump!

Rest in Power Alex Pretti

Rest in Power Renee Good

Rest in Power Keith Porter Jr

Rest in Power all of our friends killed in ICE custody

Come on people now.

Earth is what we all have in common.

Yet here we are, Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump trying to slice it up as if it were cake, salivating over the potential of real estate and resources. Oh, include Elonia Muskrat, the tech bros, and the oil-igarchs in on the carving of those commodities. Collectively, they have no respect for the planet–and a complete disregard for the people!

Russia, Israel, and now the United States are the bullies of the world. They see people as assets to be exploited in the labor market or liabilities to be eliminated by denying them food, shelter, and access to healthcare.

The Earth will keep spinning until one of these madmen blows it off its axis. Until then, our only hope is solidarity. We must come together, smile at each other, and try to love one another. Right now!

We are the change we seek in the world and the answer to each other’s prayers. Every religion and philosophy has its own version of The Golden Rule: treat others as you’d like to be treated. Think how much better the world would be. We have more in common than not.

How do we start? How do we begin to overcome the darkness that Trump, the dictators, and oligarchs have unleashed? Come on people now. SMILE.

Smile at your brother, your mother, your neighbors, your co-workers with Strength, Mercy, Integrity, Love, and Empathy. It begins with a SMILE.

Come on now. Listen to the Youngbloods, and let’s get together.

Loquaciously,

LB
