If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

Canada named third safest country in the world for travel in 2025 🇨🇦 “As travel destinations go, it really doesn’t get much safer than Canada. Violent crime is comparatively low and there is a low incidence of gun-related crime.” #canadanotbroken #truenorthstrongandfree #travelcanada

History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

The 8 hour workday. We take it for granted now. In May 1886, union workers for Mccormick Reaper Works in Chicago struck for it, and lives were lost. Unions brought us a middle class and a vibrant democracy. MayDay commemorates that.

Billionaire oligarchs sit back and watch us struggle, hoping that we turn against each other. They divide us with fear while they hoard wealth and power. Workers unite!!! #MayDay

Again, I am ASTOUNDED that SO MANY people don’t understand that if Walmart or Target can’t stock their shelves, NO STORE will be able to. It doesn’t matter if you are boycotting them. How are people on both sides somehow not grasping this concept?!?

“Totally not photoshopped”

Today we memorialize the Ford Hunger March Massacre (March 7, 1932) where police and Ford security forces opened fire on the crowd, used tear gas, and clubbed marchers. Five died and dozens were injured. #MayDay

Trump & co. are trying crash the economy. They want the US to be like what happened in Russia, post USSR. They want to sell off, at bargain prices, our government assets and our (crashed) businesses. They want us scared, sick & penniless so we can’t/wont fight back. Wake up! Stop them!

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.
