ICE consistently violates the rights of Americans by assaulting & kidnapping people for singing, playing music, & peacefully protesting.

This administration is focused on normalizing violence against peaceful protestors by ice to instill fear & silence dissent.

I have yet to see this mysterious #DutyToDisobey mandate from our soldiers.

They are obeying illegal occupation orders.

They are obeying illegal bombing orders, murdering innocent people in the Caribbean- committing war crimes w ZERO pushback.

The military is not our friend.

One key indicator of privilege is “who gets second chances?”

If you’re white, male & conservative, you get to make “mistakes” (like putting in writing you’re racist, misogynistic & antisemitic) & have it brushed it off as “youthful indiscretions.”

If you’re not & make ANY kind of mistake, you get:

Trump is considering a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans & Europeans who oppose migration, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

Pastor Kevin Curtis Jones, MAGAt-PEDO, loved Charlie Kirk so much that he wore a “FREEDOM”shirt during his sermon.

It makes you wonder ‘what’ or ‘whom’ they’re wanting the “FREEDOM” to do.

Hanging on the wall in Ohio Republican Congressman Dave Taylors office.

His aide, Angelo Elia, was so used to having it there he forgot to take it down before hosting a Zoom.

We warned you, this is who they are.

Trump just wants wars. He starts them and then hopes he can end them.
Why?
He’s a sick Dictator and Venezuela is his next hit job.
Money is always behind everything he does.
He even wants war in America!
Are we going to stand up?
If not now, when?

ABC: Trump is giving Argentina $40 billion, comprising a $20 billion currency swap and a new $20 billion debt facility with private banks, to stabilize its economy.

Nothing says America First like giving Argentina billions, while firing federal employees.

With that said.

I'd like to add fuck the 🚩🗑 who voted for this, and are now mad that the tyrannical government they voted for is affecting them negatively.

Mary Seacole (1805–1881) was a Jamaican-born nurse and businesswoman renowned for her courageous work during the Crimean War. Of mixed Scottish and Jamaican heritage, Seacole combined traditional Caribbean herbal remedies with Western medical practices, providing care to wounded soldiers where official medical services often fell short.
Driven by a desire to serve, she traveled independently to the Crimean front despite being rejected by the British War Office, setting up the "British Hotel" near the battlefields to offer food, medicine, and comfort to troops. Her bravery under fire and compassionate care earned her respect and affection from soldiers and officers alike.
After the war, Seacole published her autobiography, Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands, one of the earliest by a Black British woman. Although her contributions were overlooked for decades, she has since been recognized as a trailblazer in nursing and a symbol of resilience and multicultural heritage in medicine.
Mary Seacole’s legacy endures as a testament to determination, skill, and compassion in the face of adversity.

You know it's bad when @weratedogs.com is upset.

They bring highlights of dogs and they have a foundation to help with dog bills.

Yet, even they reached a breaking point when CBP was given permission to enter after the owner asked them to wait so he could lock up his dog.

CBP let the dog out 😡
