Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

No need to hunt all over for Antifa headquarters. It's located in Arlington National cemetery. There are 400,000 members there.

The CDC purge really sucks but so does this HUD purge. They want us segregated and homeless

Keep Portland Weird is very much the people’s motto. I was just noting the official motto of our city workers.

Streets around ICE remain closed at 8 am this morning. No morning ravers tho.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.

Alt text: A man in camouflage clothing and a face covering sits inside a gray Jeep, pointing a weapon out of the open driver-side window. The gun is aimed directly at the camera. The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicle’s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.

As someone who was subjected to conversion therapy, it doesn’t work. It won’t work. It’s torture. I was hooked up to an IV and made to vomit watching gay porn for two hours per week. I was prayed over. Bibles and the Book of Mormon were shoved in my face.

It comes down to class solidarity why the democrats are doing nothing about Trump, they're all rich people, none of them expect to ever be personally harmed no matter how hard it comes down on us, they're financed by entities to keep getting richer whose interests they care about more than ours.

Again, Kavanaugh justified racial profiling by claiming that this doesn't happen--a justification that becomes more preposterous with each passing day as Trump's goons terrorize more people based on the color of their skin

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.
