Americans, listen up:

In the coming weeks, the US is going to have 52,000 elections.

FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND

You want to win over those fascists? Go out there and do it. Help your neighbours win.

Stand by them when they're at board meetings out of solidarity if you have time. They need you out there.

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple video exhibits showing federal officers using extreme force against seemingly nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs
Building, as part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

The very reason America even has a secular government is entirely to avoid these kinds of excuses for needless wars and mass murder events parading themselves under the guise of religious persecution. This is in part why people left the old world for the new world. They were tired of religious wars.

Yes sir.
The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria
— and anywhere — must end immediately.
The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.

Wasn't their initial proposal one with an exemption clause for consecutive presidencies, conveniently eliminating both Bush and Obama from qualification?

The videos pertaining to this incident in Illinois today are off the scale appalling. Even by shameful, existing ICE local standards. Gestapo stuff.

How about Canada just eliminates America's broken and corrupt tip culture? We need to de-Americanize anyway. Just do away with it.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

This is near my niece and nephew's school in Evanston, Ill just hours ago as they are now on lockdown.

This is what's happening. It's an occupation by ICE in a Chicago suburb. They must be abolished.

Oh. And here's footage of ICE pulling out a gun and pointing it at someone, as witnesses said.

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:

"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

Access media is not journalism when it succumbs to softball questions over the threat of losing access to work. It's basically state run propaganda at that point.
