🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London.

We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

A friend just texted me from LA that this was happening at the park she was at
ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children

The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted

This one is especially important.

There are a lot of ways to resist. They are all legitimate.

What’s not is ignoring, excusing, or assisting this attack on our nation and the people within it.

Stay strong. Stay United.

Here's gang violence.
BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone.

If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

"The former prime minister of Israel Ehud Olmert has said Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza" 👏👏👏

Imagine an ex-PM of Israel having to say that before our own government acknowledges it. Shocking.
