Personally, I think that anyone who was sending friendly emails back and forth with Jeffrey Epstein or attending events with him post-2008 should be thrown into an active volcano.

Marimar Martinez is a hero.
She was shot 5 times by ICE.
The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.
He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.
DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.
Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

I never understood the resistance to natural evolution in language. People get so dang worked up over contractions or word placement.
Then, when kids started calling pop punk and indie rock and melodic hardcore and shoegaze all “Midwest Emo” I felt the inner pedant come out.

I thought they were called depression dogs because they were a whole meal during the Great Depression. Now I realize it’s because they are a temporary cure for depression.

Hey, you load of new followers! I’m Nathan. Used to be pretty active on Soccer/Political twitter. After getting off the platform I don’t post anywhere near as frequently as before. Mostly, I talk about Dropout stuff, complain about Crystal Palace and promote grassroots soccer in the states. Hi!

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

I really hate people are being like "they're killing white people!" like thats the line that shouldn't be crossed
Were at this stage in part because Black/POC people being killed wasnt enough of a line for people to do something about.

Howdy fellow US folks!
Buy a firearm and learn to shoot, maintain and handle it safely. I’m happy to be a resource.
I’d also prefer guns didn’t exist, full-stop, but the legislation in this country isn’t changing. The times certainly are.
