People demanding “historical realism” about Helen of Troy’s race need a reality check. She’s a myth whose father was Zeus disguised as a swan and may have hatched from an egg. But apparently a Black actress is where mythology becomes implausible. #TheOdyssey #HelenOfTroy #Representation

An image with the text: Trump claims undocumented immigrants are “stealing welfare.”
Given they can’t legally get it, he’s really saying this:

“Our welfare offices are so corrupt they hand public money to people with no status, no papers, no rights… and I’m fine with that, as long as you hate the migrants more than you question me.”

That’s not policy, it’s projection with a bureaucracy attached.
