🎆 Trump’s July 4th fireworks and military theater couldn’t distract from his antisemitic slur and the government’s systematic deception.

While he wrapped himself in patriotic pageantry signing his bill, his Social Security commissioner was spreading lies about what it actually does and news broke that ICE finally released a sick 6-year-old after a month of detention only because public shame forced their hand. The reality behind Trump’s flag-waving is government propaganda, bigoted language, and cruelty to vulnerable children until public pressure makes it politically costly.
