Love living in a country where 6 unelected Supreme Court justices

mostly picked by a guy who lost the popular vote

can strip away rights 200 million people want, all while 53 MAGA senators speak for fewer people than Disney+ has subscribers.

Totally normal. 🫠🇺🇸

It’s not lost on us that a new social platform isn’t exactly top of mind. Tech execs joining the U.S. military. More war.

And here we are, grateful for everyone with us in this moment. A social platform isn’t all that social without good people supporting it.

The City of Pasadena is outraged after Masked and armed men arrested multiple men at a bus stop.

Masked men grabbed them off the street without stating a reason.

ICE has yet to confirm these were in fact their agents!!

Local advocates say six individuals were taken.

We need to investigate ICE!

YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP: America begged Afghan interpreters to save our troops.

Now ICE is arresting them after asylum hearings like they’re disposable.

This man survived Taliban death squads, only to get fucked over in San Diego. We don’t protect allies—we hunt them.

NYT June 13th: Headline "Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels & Eateries"

The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Mr. Trump’s presidency suggested his broad immigration crackdown was hurting industries & constituencies he doesn't want to lose.

No - PRESSURE WORKS !!!

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.
