Yes, we need an arms embargo on Israel asap. But we also need to stop selling weapons PERIOD, especially to genocidal regimes. Fuck the MIC.

DHS altered a Black boy's video then used it to threaten Americans.

Since we won't come outside they are creating ways to make it seem like we are.

People are fighting this narrative because once Palestine is free from the river to the sea, the focus will come here to the US to decolonize. May it be so.

While people on here talk nonstop about this supposedly large contingent of the pro Palestine left which heaped praise onto Trump for the ceasefire, CNN's Dana Bash ran a seven minutes long program yesterday on how the left is ungrateful and never actually wanted a ceasefire.

Amazon’s Ring is partnering with Flock’s network of AI-powered license plate readers, to enable police and ICE request doorbell footage for investigations.

This is the first time I’ve seen cross-app integration built to serve law enforcement instead of end users.

Agencies that use Flock can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with "evidence collection and investigative work."

Trump is attacking the constitutional republic itself by making citizens suffer with these tariffs, limiting free speech against his perceived enemies, and indiscriminately harming people both at home and abroad with ICE and murders in Colombia and Venezuela. But you knew that.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Newsflash: the GOP is going to go on the Sunday shows tomorrow morning and be like: "what protests? what video?" Nobody is going to enact 25A, 14A, or even literally 2A because everyone is a coward in DC.
