Andre Hernandez-Romero is the gay make up artist who was kidnapped and disappeared into the supermax El Salvador prison CECOT.

Why was he sent there? Because of his tattoos.

He came to the US legally in 2024. He sought and was granted asylum because he was trying to escape anti-LGBTQ+ violence and political persecution in Venezuela

He should have been starting a new life in the US. Enjoying the “freedom” to be who he is and love who he wants.

Instead he’s been locked in a prison in a foreign country because of an ICE mistake.

It’s the definition of cruel and unusual punishment

Today The Hill announced a prisoner exchange. The US has secured the release of 10 US citizens held in Venezuela in exchange for returning more than 250 Venezuelan men being held in the El Salvador prison

Hernandez Romero is one of them.

This young man who fled Venezuela because it wasn’t safe for him, has now spent months trying to survive a foreign supermax prison only to be swapped like a chess piece and sent back to the country he fled in the first place.

Keep saying his name. Speak out. He needs and deserves protection.

Abolish ICE.

Funny how “trimming the fat” means axing PBS, not the subsidy that helps billionaires write off their private jets.

As Trump DNI Tulsi Gabbard tries to distract from his Epstein cover-up by accusing Obama of “treason” over Russiagate (which was never a hoax), maybe some outlets could mention her disturbing ties to Russia, who called her “our girlfriend” on state TV? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. An American man who moved his family to Russia to avoid LGBTQ+ “indoctrination” for his kids is being sent to fight on Russia's front lines. His wife says he is being “thrown to the wolves” after being told that his job in the military would be as a correspondent or as a welder.

The incredible hate and stupidity of some people is hard to imagine.

When you are young
you are taught
that you should always try
to treat other people
as you would like
to be treated,
and when you are older
you will realize
that if you try
to treat other people
as you would like
to be treated
you will be accused
of virtue signaling.

Vought doesn’t need Congress or the CON to force thru massive cuts to fed spending, hinting:🚨more such cuts are coming soon as Trump demonstrates he’s “not cowing to a leg branch’s understanding of its own authorities & powers.” Trump & Vought: pushing the limits of the pres' authority *rescissions pkg -CXLs $9B in spending -to be signed into law.
