I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

Great news - why would ANYONE want to visit the shithole country that America has become under dumpster and his rethuglicans?

*Risk being disappeared?
*Or sent to a detention centre in God knows where?
*Or miss an international connection at an airport or ship terminal?

Loomer, are you finally waking up that trump is NOT America first?
What does anything trump has done had to do with putting America first. Certainly everything is against the American people, and I thought the people WERE the United States. trump wants to look big on the world stage.

Freddy Mercury's "Don't Stop Me Now" 🎶🎵 is a fun, boppy soundtrack to Portland's burning "Antifa war zone" of dancing frogs & furries:

"Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time. I feel alive. And the world, I'll turn it inside out, yeah. I'm floatin' around in ecstasy." #FreedomFrogs #NoICE

Eine Hand hält ein kleines, graublaues Exemplar des deutschen Grundgesetzes mit Bundesadler auf dem Einband. Darunter steht in großen weißen Buchstaben: „Ich bin Antifa und das ist mein Parteibuch.“

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
