DHS cut this quote off one sentence early. Here’s how Roosevelt actually finished the thought, same speech, 1915:
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”
He also said he wasn’t talking about naturalized citizens (“some of the very best Americans I have ever known”) and that “any discrimination against aliens is a wrong.”
Teddy Roosevelt’s descendants asked Congress to protect his legacy. Trump’s admin answered by perverting TR’s words to push their anti-immigrant agenda.
If the Administration refuses to release body cam footage of the shooting of Alex Pretti, it is reasonable to assume that it shows he was shot by two United States Border Patrol Agents in cold blood while he was being beaten and kicked in the head by 8 agents and that he never drew his weapon, which he was legally authorized to have, but rather it was pulled from his waistband by an agent and Pretti was shot when he was unarmed.
however chill or not chill I seem now, I was way way more strict as a kid. I was in kindergarten avoiding kids who said “libary” because I thought they were incurably stupid
@kittykitkat39@ThoughtInUrHead@sillyexbf@carrrie_heifer both astonishing and hateful. get a life outside of minding the business of others. for real. me and mine will be doing wonderful. your opinion on trans people is worthless to me, because i know the value of transition and the value of my trans friends.
@kittykitkat39@ThoughtInUrHead@sillyexbf@carrrie_heifer help” ie transition, they would actually be depressed or dead right now, but because they have transitioned socially and medically, they are still here and happier than ever. your lack of compassion for people that i know personally to be the most fulfilled people in my life is
