Thoughts and prayers for Candace Owens being disallowed to visit Australia. She is regarded as an undesirable who encourages bad behavior and her views are counter to Australia’s culture.

Phuk I love the Aussies!

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

We’re just days away from #NoKings Day and the world is about to roar.

Over 2,500 protests in all 50 states.

One message: we will not kneel to wannabe kings.

October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful defiance in American history, because when tyranny rises, courage catches fire.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.
