“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will …. say that this never happened.”

Not a direct Eisenhower quote. But true now.
Get it all on record.

Because we will take these fuckers to a new set of Nuremberg trials.

Remember, kids, we need specific, targeted, intentional

Join the resistance.

Yes we are. We’re going to stop them
This is an absolute threat. “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop Border Patrol.”

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Watching the adults of Minneapolis step up and take beatings/bullets for kids that look like them did.

They are still scared, but they believe us when we tell them they will be protected bc they are seeing it in real time on their socials.

Minneapolis is not just protecting their own.

Thank you

I am responsible for 270 ELL middle schoolers that started this year scared about what was going to happen. We talked about it a lot and reassured them that the adults in their lives would move heaven and earth to protect them.
Those talks didn't help.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Renee Nicole Good was murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal — to every one of us.

Dear the media,

When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies.

The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace.

Sincerely,
Factual reality

There are over 123 million forcibly displaced persons in the world due to persecution, conflict & climate change. On World Refugee Day, we stand in solidarity with refugees & call on governments—including the US—to meaningfully support them in rebuilding their lives with dignity.
At a time of record displacement and shrinking support, we always choose solidarity over silence.

This #WorldRefugeeDay, we honour refugees not just with our words, but with action, empathy and unwavering support.
