This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime. In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Trump reposted a call, from a Nazi account, to hang his opposition, also declares that an "example must be set" for anyone that encourages the military to not follow illegal orders e.g. shooting or massacring civilians.

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

Repost this everywhere you’re active on social media. Send to your friends and family who aren’t.

Exposing the Epstein Network is not going to be politically convenient. If your interest in unravelling a child rape network is to only take down Trump, you aren't interested in justice. Sure it can take him down, but you must adult up; accept it'll take down some of your favourite politicians too.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July? Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Chump Tells "60 Minutes", ICE Raids Haven't Gone Far Enough ! WTF, Cruel MOFO.......

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children." REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old." FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to dismiss a copyright suit from George R. R. Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Grisham and other authors. The judge says that text generated by ChatGPT may infringe their copyrights.

This is so fucked up.

Meanwhile, This is How American Born Terrorists ICE, treat Actual American Citizens......

Thank you, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for saying what no one else will “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"One detained woman, identified as Marie, said officials did not believe her when she informed them of her pregnancy, and held her in solitary confinement for at least three days." No one should be treated like this. ICE must release all pregnant people in their custody, immediately.

I think it’s fair to say that Donald Trump is insane.

Just a photo on a post about Virginia’s book.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Ehud Barak violently raped Virginia Giuffre and Republicans are protecting him. Donald Trump is a pedophile who we have on court record as raping a 13 year old girl but @SpeakerJohnson refuses to swear in a lawmaker to prevent the release of the Epstein Files. Release the Epstein Files.

Enough of his cruel and dangerous distractions. Release the Epstein files.

It’s highly irresponsible of JD Vance. The shooter’s motive is still unknown, yet he immediately tried to score political points. The people shot were detainees at the Dallas ICE facility. No federal agents were harmed.

As People Mag Points out, a treatment for autism Dr. Oz just announced Trump’s FDA is approving is sold by a supplement company owned by… Dr. Oz. people.com/what-is-leuc...

AOC Watching How Chump is Wasting OUR Money.......

An apology is insufficient. Everyone email [email protected] and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble

> @governor.ca.gov

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.
