Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.

How does anyone look at the utterly horrifying images and videos in Gaza right now and justify Israel's actions? There is no rationalization for this genocidal madness. If you support it, check to see how you refuse to see Palestinians as human beings.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.
