Meet the man who will be responsible for deporting 10 million people from the United States.

Thomas "Tom" Douglas Homan (born November 28, 1961) is an American former police officer, immigration official, and political commentator who served during the Obama administration and the first Trump administration. He served as acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from January 30, 2017, to June 29, 2018. Homan advocates deportation of undocumented immigrants and opposes sanctuary city policies. Within the Trump administration, he was among the most strident proponents of separating children from their parents as a means of deterring illegal entry into the country and curbing human trafficking. After 2018, he began contributing to Fox News as a commentator.

In 2015, President Obama gave him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."

Tom Homan, 62, will serve as Trump's "border tsar", having previously served as the returning president's acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).

Continued thread

My comment saying "none of this matters" should not be linked to defeatism but to the fact I recognize that life goes on. We are born, we live, and we die.

I want to make the world better for everyone. I want to feed the hungry, and lull the crying babies to sleep. I want trans men and women to have their rights and the LGBTQ community not to suffer through any horrific ordeal ever again.

I want climate change deniers to fucking shut the fuck up, and let's all move toward the greener pastures with greener energy.

But none of this will happen if I go breaking my balls and destroying myself.

Take care. 💗

Hence, #Trump. Simple

My last post for the next few days, because it affects me emotionally so much:

All the people who are talking and writing so much about solidarity and fighting at the moment:
This is where you can help and show real solidarity with the affected people in the USA.
transrescue.org/
mastodon.social/@trans_rescue
@trans_rescue

Either with a donation or with active help in offering accommodation in your area, maybe a room or a couch in your apartment for trans people from the USA.
The organization has a USA Campaign for Trans People who want out. They help to organize the departure and accommodation for these people.

Please share. ♻️
