🇺🇸🤝🏳️⚧️🛂 — Trump was right ⁉️ Harris told ACLU in 2019 she supports cuts to ICE funding and providing gender transition surgery to detained migrants, says CNN
➡️ As Kamala Harris pivots to the political center in her campaign for president, a 2019 questionnaire from a leading civil rights organization spotlights her past support for left-wing causes such as taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners.
➡️ In an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire then-Sen. Harris filled out as a candidate for president in 2020, she also expressed support for decriminalizing federal drug possession for personal use, and for sweeping reductions to Immigration and Custom Enforcement operations, including drastic cuts in ICE funding and an open-ended pledge to “end” immigration detention.
➡️ The questionnaire has received scant media attention and a spokesperson for the ACLU claimed it had remained live from 2019.
➡️ The ACLU also had volunteers question candidates at public town halls and later posted videos on their website of their responses.
➡️ During one town hall event in New Hampshire in April 2019, Harris was asked by a voter if she supports adding a “third gender” to federal identification cards.
➡️ “Sure,” Harris answered to a round of applause from the crowd. “I have my entire life and career been an ally and I see the issue of LGBTQ rights as a fundamental civil rights and human rights issue, period,” Harris said.

We are burning our strategic reserves to manage paper markets while China quietly builds a 900-million-barrel energy fortress. The exact math shows the US hits a critical 150-million-barrel military floor in just 41 days at maximum draw. By artificially suppressing wartime energy prices, the administration effectively handed a generational strategic advantage to our primary global rival. Here is the data-driven teardown of how short-term market optics just sold our physical energy future.👇https://triggledger.substack.com/p/shorting-america-how-trump-sold-our?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=8gc1qf
