They’re selling us out, angling for cosmetic changes that will make no difference out on the streets.
"The Democrats are pushing reforms that they know won’t work because they are doing performative, perfunctory opposition to try to quiet their base, instead of real legislating and fighting to dismantle Trump’s ICE and CBP." newrepublic.com/article/2059...
Senate Democrats’ ICE Proposals Are a Huge and Inexcusable Whiff
Their opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.
Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

This is wild because I’ve met this photographer when he photographed the Rohingya community in Chicago and have since followed his work on instagram. He posted these photos of Bovino weeks ago!!
People are claiming those viral photos of Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino are fake.
They're real. But I found something weird while looking into the claims.

This guy suuuuucks. The bibles he sent also had the Declaration of Independence and Constitution at the back of them (just as Jesus intended lol) but the Constitution they printed were missing Amendments 11-27, and the 3/5ths compromise, completely erasing the history of slavery in this country
