If you support Putin, as Trump, Vance and Rubio do, then by definition you are engaged in "pro-terrorist activity," yes? Of course, Trump wont need to self-deport since Christian Nationalist fanatics on the Supreme Court have said that presidents (Republican ones, they mean) get a pass on pro-terrorist or any other illegal activities while in office.

In Tennessee, we're disappearing students in another way, too. The Legislature is on the verge of allowing school districts to turn away undocumented students who were brought to this country by their parents. Districts like Nashville that choose not to discriminate will be punished, because the pending bill also would require them to verify the immigration status of their students. It's pretty clear that the state will then use this data to cut funding for the district by the number of undocumented kids (and of course they will also turn it over to ICE).

This is a state that allows foster children to sleep on the floors of state office buildings; that turned away federal funds for summer food assistance (all of $40 per month) for hungry kids who qualify for free/reduced-price lunches when school is in session; and that now feels morally justified in turning away kids from schools.

I suppose they've removed from their Trump Bibles Jesus' warning that, for those who put a stumbling block in front of the "little ones," it would be better if they tied a millstone around their necks and threw themselves into the sea.

This is straightforward. I have been sitting in the TN state legislative committees listening to the arguments of many Republicans as they put forth bills, and I have begun to wonder if some folks are tuned in to their thinking ability or just to their rage.
