So he thought a guy who spent decades destroying lives for no reason, questioned the race of the President Obama for no reason, said Haitians were eating pets for no reason, and ruined lives in his first term for no reason, was somehow gonna come in and NOT ruin more lives for no reason?

#JocelynnRojoCarranza was 11 years old. She should still be here, laughing and dreaming. Instead, she died by suicide after relentless bullying over her familyās immigration status. This is what happens when hate is normalizedāwhen politicians spew xenophobia and cruelty thrives. This is not okay.

Pretty wild that Elonās debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.
