50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 11h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

ICE is torturing detainees
While the acts themselves already constitute torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, the patterned, state-directed, and concealed nature of ICE’s restraint practices could — under international legal definitions — meet the threshold for crimes against humanity

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.
