If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

Terrible news 😢

The Canadian PM is correct. Don't screw this up, Canada: keep the Liberals and Carney in power. Do not flirt with the Tories and subject yourself to Maple Syrup Maga.

History would remember it as the day America became “great” again.

Today,the guardsmen of the 14th Chervona Kalyna Brigade repelled a large-scale mechanized assault of the Russian occupiers in the Pokrovsk direction. Preliminary Russian losses amounted to more than 240 soldiers killed or wounded,96 motorcycles,21 armored fighting vehicles Glory! 📹O.Pivnenko

The kids who didn't pay attention in civics or history classes voted to give us a dictatorship.

There were about 7 or 8 republicans that went and were allowed in the prison.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Canadians, please just vote. Because "didn't vote" can't be the true winning team. Apathy gets us nothing. Voting means we still have a democracy (so changeable governance). Getting involved in community/politics means you actually can have a say.

Anxiously watching the US-UK trade deal news to see whether both countries I have ties to are going to slowly sink into the ocean or just one. I'm hoping the UK will come to its senses and realize a closer relationship with the EU is the only sane option.

PAY ATTENTION: PP is trying to do the exact same thing here in canada with his promises to use the notwithstanding clause. Driven by Harper and IDU, his policies are premeditated ultimately to end in authoritarian rule. DONT FORGET TO VOTE! #neverCONServative #NeverPoiLIEvre #IDU #voteliberal

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

We shouldn't human traffic guilty people to foreign death camps, either, actually.

Getting stronger under Trump: China, Russia, El Salvador Getting weaker under Trump: the dollar, Congress I’m sure it’ll be fine

Another court rules Trump is violating the rights of #KilmarAbregoGarcia, calling it “shocking to judges and the sense of liberty we hold dear” 🇺🇸 t.co/vryPaK6V1E

It should probably bother Americans that their country now regularly votes at the UN only with hellish kleptocratic wastelands wherein torture is systemic and that openly seek to destroy the US. Belarus, Russia, North Korea, United States..not even China goes this low.

Georgia will be free, in the EU and NATO. ✊🏻🇬🇪🇪🇺

Day 141. This is our endgame, we know we cannot stop whatever faces us. You can help us avoid whatever costs can be avoided in our national liberation struggle through targeted sanctions, regime non-recognition, and calls for new Parliamentary elections. #GeorgiaProtests

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

A “prison” is most typically defined as an institution holding inmates ... sentenced for a crime. And of course, most sentences have an end date. However ... Bukele and his government have boasted that people placed in CECOT, “have no chance of getting out.” talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

Hi All, just sent out this free piece. Trump is actively working with Putin to see Ukrainian civilians killed, some now and more in the future. He is depriving Ukraine of vital anti air defense, which the Ukrainians are willing to buy (helping the US economy) open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
