If you want to be followed back, please have a bio & several posts, including personal comments, not just reposts. I want to know if we have any interests in common.
My interests are eclectic, & I'm openminded, but don't violate the "NOs" I've listed in my bio.
Anger is understandable, hate isn't.

After signing up for self-deportation, Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved to an unfinished basement. But DHS never sent them the promised plane tickets.

Now they worry about surviving winter. Weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to pay rent.

Article excerpt: Emily said she made clear the family didn’t have Venezuelan passports but was told that wouldn’t be a problem; the U.S. government would procure any necessary documents for them. They said the operator gave them an Aug. 1 departure date and told them to expect their plane tickets by email.

Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved with their children to Columbus, Ohio, where Deybis’ nephew let them stay in his unfinished basement apartment until their departure. The plane tickets never came.

Then the nephew was detained in a traffic stop and deported. Panicked, Emily and Deybis said they called the toll-free number again and again, leaving messages that went unanswered. Emily submitted a new application and sent more emails.

Article excerpt: ...They found travel agencies that offer to procure travel documents at a cost but said they were told the Venezuelan government requires an arrival date and proof that plane tickets have been purchased. Emily and Deybis can’t afford them.

“Thank you so much for your patience and we understand your frustration,” they heard back in another email. “Wait for new instructions from DHS.”

As they wait, they worry about how they’ll survive when winter comes. Most days, Deybis visits local food pantries and looks for discarded items in alleys and on street corners that they can resell. A few weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to help pay the rent.

“We’d rather be in Venezuela with our family than suffer here,” he said.

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Israel’s GDP ranks only 35 in the world. The GAZA plan was always about money, giving US oligarchy a slice of ME & attracting Gulf billions. Follow the money.

The peace deal you get when making money from redevelopment & cutting deals with rich Arab countries. It was always about US oligarchy profits in the ME. That’s why trump reigned in Netanyahu, because he too is on Qatar $.

Felon45 openly grifts for money, & whores himself to anyone & anything that fills his pockets & his dirty diaper. He has zero scruples, zero integrity, & surrounds himself with people who are the same. I wouldn't trust him to be a door opener/greeter at Walmart.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Thank you, @seemasyeda.bsky.social for speaking the truth.
I've become so disillusioned with BBC reporting for treating both Israel and Trump with kid gloves, and only telling the Israeli viewpoint of their genocide of Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank.
