Ice and dhs have to be destroyed and everyone involved sent to prison that’s still the bare minimum and anything less is capitulation.

The western media erased her moral agency by labeling her “First Lady.”

“Flores has been a political leader of the Bolivarian Revolution for more than 25 years who has held top elected offices …. Flores is one of the most powerful political figures in Venezuela.”
Who is Cilia Flores? Who is Delcy Rodríguez?
Cilia Flores, kidnapped with President Nicolás Maduro and held prisoner in New York City, is, in the corporate media, often relegated to the dismissive, nondescriptive title of “First Lady.” This sugg...

Dear gods, could the Democrats instead simply have the words, “hopelessly out of touch” written on their foreheads?
I cannot stress enough this is a totally made up conundrum and you do not actually need to field test if talking about how our entire government is controlled by child rapists is interesting.

Look at what Hammam is saying. Read the article that is connected here. There are medical horror stories happening where these people are living
🚨
The director of the hospital where I work, Al-Shifa Hospital, stated that the occupation forces returned the bodies of women whose organs were missing. Another source also reported that the occupation forces were using a school in northern Gaza to detain women & civilians and harvest their organs
"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier."

I'm honestly speechless.

“‘Solution for Gaza — either through emigration or by eliminating all the residents.’

That was the proposal aired on Israeli Channel 14, where strategic adviser Ramy Piro called for the removal of Gaza’s entire population, in an explicit call for the … extermination of Palestinians.”

Dodgers are going back to the White House. So, I’m doubling down on this moment of shade.
Question is will the event be more or less icy than when the 2019 national champions Baylor women’s basketball team met with Trump.

UPDATE: This plane landed in Cairo and is now headed back to Shannon.

Previous ICE flights to Cairo delivered Russian dissidents and asylum-seekers to Egyptian authorities, who forced them onto planes to Moscow. At least one is now missing.

Australian police violently arrest people praying on behalf of a monster who slaughters children. It must be said those protesting genocide are acting with conscience while the state violates domestic and international law by not arresting the monster. Police don't uphold the law, but injustice.
Next time a US evangelical whines about their government persecuting them for their faith, demand they show these kinds of receipts:
