Trump fabricated a photo of Mr Garcia. This is what FASCIST Regimes do.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/4/19/2317370/-Trump-s-terribly-doctored-photo?

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do.

……. Those wise MAGA semioticians have offered this excuse: "Still, some have alleged that the tattoos are meant to be code, a marijuana leaf representing the letter M, a smiley face representing the letter S, a cross being a cover up for the number one and a skull meant to be covering up the number three." Yeah that there is real gang messaging semiology, Esse.

I read today that "two judges concluded he is with MS-13." He was never allowed to see a judge or courtroom, so that's false.

From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Holocaust Enclopedia:

NAZI PROPAGANDA AND CENSORSHIP

The Nazis used propaganda to win the support of millions of Germans. Censorship helped to suppress ideas that the Nazis saw as threatening.


Excerpt…

How did the Nazis use censorship?

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government. Even telling a joke about Hitler was considered treachery. People in Nazi Germany could not say or write whatever they wanted.

Examples of censorship under the Nazis included:

* Closing down or taking over anti-Nazi newspapers;
* Controlling what news appeared in newspapers, on the radio, and in newsreels;
* Banning and burning books that the Nazis categorized as un-German;
* Controlling what soldiers wrote home during World War II.
