Heartbreaking story. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, age 11, took her own life after her bullies constantly threatened to call ICE to have her Hispanic parents deported. Her story is one of the many real human consequences of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. youtu.be/vwMGdnM24Cw?...

People often focus on Russian influence and Israeli influence as though they are two separate things and ignore the nexus of dozens of Russian oligarchs who have become Israeli citizens in recent years. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

The people willing to take the most risk in the US spent 16 months getting their heads bashed in by cops for protesting Israel's genocide of Palestinians while losing jobs, getting expelled from school, being harassed online, getting doxxed, having serious death threats against them etc...
