The elected P.M of Iran wanted to nationalise oil.The British with the CIA organised a coup.The US got 40% of the oil. They got extremist Islamic clergy to organise against the govt, then installed the Shah & his secret police.The US went on to use this process in Guatemala & Chile (Pinochet) #iran

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Posting this for absolutely no reason at all.

I told you we’d be back

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME

We feed you. They hunt us.

"Violence is never the solution"

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

PHILLY: Man posing as an ICE agent robs car repair business, ties up and manhandles a woman from the Dominican Republic — “He kept saying he is immigration officer.” It was only a matter of time before these masked vigilantes breed impersonators. www.fox29.com/video/1501153

ALL Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Personnel Know. Military members are required to obey only Lawful Orders. An Order that is clearly Unlawful not only can be disobeyed-it must be disobeyed. Following a patently Unlawful Order-can result in criminal liability under the #UCMJ.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Spot an ICE agent? Say something, do something. #3E #stopICE

Andor nails it — Many of Nazism's earliest supporters ended up in the camps. The man who wrote 'First They Came For' was an anti-communist Minister who cheered the incarceration of socialists. The poem is a warning about the dangers of supporting authoritarianism that you think works for you.

This isn't Black history. This is real history.

Finally, some good news.

🔥 COACH SULLY: “If that’s not a false flag of hate I don’t know what is.” Sully shows how Fox & Republicans regularly focus on trans athletes to distract from the real problems they ignore. 🎯

Class war. Tax the rich. #EatTheRich

We’ve been going with “Swamp Force One” — but this works too. 👇🏽#HamasForceOne ✈️

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way. Record it and get in the way.

A coworker asked me how I would fix what's happening to the US. I told him it needs to burn down. The economy needs to tank. ICE needs to be disbanded and arrested. The GOP needs to be declared illegal. No quarter given. Berlin had to burn to purge the fascist. Same here.

ICYMI: these are the only refugees they are making room for. Their vision for 🇺🇸 couldn’t be any clearer.

Exposing the names of the secret police is good, actually.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”
