“All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public & end all of this.”

Please share the TRUTH, per his family: this young man was murdered by ICE while trying to protect a woman under attack. His last act was heroic. Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem are once again shielding ICE and smearing the victim.

ICE has repeatedly lied or misrepresented basic facts. The media has to stop just blanket printing of their accounts of events. At the very least it should be contextualized by noting prior instances of misinformation.

The World Health Organization has removed the U.S. flag today—a move triggering outrage and disbelief. Critics say it’s more than symbolism: it’s a stark marker of America’s collapse on the global stage. We’ve become a damn punchline.

This happened because no ICE agents were charged for murdering Renee Good. To save lives, Minn officials need to charge Numerous ICE officers for these murders NOW! If they won't, then step aside and allow other officials to hold these killers accountable!
NEW: ICE officers in Minn executed a man they were holding on ground. I'm not exaggerating. This is real footage published in Minnesotta Star Tribune. Officers surround man. They are beating them. Then you hear shot as one ICE officer executes the man. Every officer involved MUST be charged!

In 6 years since her divorce from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, MacKenzie Scott has donated an extraordinary $26.3 billion to more than 2,700 nonprofits.
Jeff Bezos has given $3-4 billion IN HIS LIFETIME (approx 1.5% of his $240-250 billion fortune).
Moral of the story. We need more wealthy WOMEN. 💕
