I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Well done sociologists.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

This is ethnic cleansing/resegregation agenda of the regime. The first step was removing Black voices (esp, Black/BIPOC female ones) from msm tv & print (e.g. Joy Reid, Karen Attiah). /2

In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Canada has its ICE-loving fascists too.
For those who don't know, remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations.
I took this photo today in SASKATOON within hours of the ICE remigration Gestapo executing another person in the US.
