I’m beyond anger or sadness or any other thing I could be feeling. It is unacceptable that our neighbors are fearing for their lives. Children are being left without mothers, and mothers are being killed. If you have not been radicalized THIS IS YOUR CALL TO ACTION. Join a local org and get to work.

Iran-Contra happened where a B-list actor stole an election and entered the WH. He sold "trickle-down economics and fucked the working class. Ironically they still love him.
Today, regrettably, tRump is backlash for electing an intelligent articulate black POTUS. Evangelicals hate us for that alone

Alfred Nobel specifically stated in his will that once the prize has been awarded it can’t be changed. But if Trump is so pathetic that he wants to take Machado’s medal, and she’s so desperate and weak that she will give it to him, let the world watch that disgraceful charade.

This view puts a finer point on how outrageously reckless and baldly illegal the actions of the ICE agent were ripping off rounds in that circumstance. He’s lucky he’ll only be facing one murder charge…instead of two (or more), plus a dog
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
Stop the lies.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

This video was taken down & got me a community guidelines violation on tiktok. It's hard to look I guess because the reality of what's happening is so scary.
Some folks don't get that #ICE is terrorizing our communities & people are afraid. But anyone who knows history, knows we are ALL in danger.

A Trump regime loyalist and terrorist yells at anti-impunity protestors in the US, as Trump regime forces stand behind him proudly: "a storm is here", "no one can stop what is coming", and "We executed one of you yesterday, do you understand that" #3E

I don’t ever want anyone to tell me that we can’t afford universal healthcare or social security. Cuz clearly we can. Billions going to ICE. Billions going to the military. Billions going to countries like Argentina. No billions for the American people who are paying for it.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
