There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.
Now, what are we going to do about it?!

The SAVE Act is about suppressing women's right to vote. It has NOTHING to do with I.D. or election integrity. Receipts.

OMG. This needs more attention.
Keep this in mind when reading the nice articles about the diplomatic tone of Marco Rubio’s remarks in Munich. The deaths of millions and millions of people are on him.
I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.
even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

Incredible @statuscoupnews.bsky.social interview with Skye, who says she’s a Marine Corps vet and appears to have just been released from Whipple. She says she was trapped by ICE, yanked out of her car and stomped on.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

And the lies just keep rolling out. Now claiming a “million more documents” have suddenly been discovered, the DOJ warns it’ll take weeks to turn over everything.
I connect the document dots & track the lies back to Jan of 2025, proving the obstruction is the point.

I heard that now they're placing people who criticize ICE under surveillance. I want it to be known to the entire world that I despise ICE to the core and I think their entire institution should be abolished. They are cruel, inhumane, and are examples of the worst of humanity

Imagine what those two men must have been feeling in the 41 minutes where they were shirtless, clinging to the hull of a severed boat with the body parts of their friends in the water around them, no means of communication, in the middle of the ocean. The terror of it.

@vinguptamd.bsky.social Is it possible to do a report with evidence that Ivermectin is, or is not, effective fighting Covid, cold viruses, or other viruses? Social media is flooded with anecdotal “evidence” that it is. *Flooded.* Without access to medical databases, how can we figure this out??? 🙏💙

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
