Erasing history is not patriotism.
When leaders demand museums whitewash slavery and injustice, they are not protecting America—they are rewriting it.
A nation that hides its scars loses its truth. And when truth is gone, democracy follows.
Stand up. Speak out. Defend history before it disappears.

All of this can be yours if you simply: #LeakTheEPSTEIN-Files!*

ICE just posted this to their Twitter account showing them tearing down an Anti-ICE poster and leaving a dildo behind saying "We're taking America back."
Abolish ICE isn't enough, they should all be tried and sent to prison.

Trump says the homeless will be “given shelter.”
Where? Detention camps.
First the immigrants, then the homeless, then Medicaid recipients, then the disabled, then the elderly.

Ghislaine Maxwell is not a tragic figure.
She didn’t lose herself—she sold herself to power and profited. She groomed, trafficked, normalized girls’ abuse, then walked away unbothered.
She’s not a victim. She’s a predator.
Stop rewriting her legacy. Don’t let her off the hook. Not now. Not ever.

Last night Trump claimed all of Iran's nuclear capabilities were destroyed. BUT Vance says no. WSJ reports: "J.D. Vance signaled Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium is still intact and in Iranian control, a potentially significant problem for closing off Iran's future path to a bomb."

Trump’s poll numbers are tanking. His bill is failing. His birthday parade flopped, overshadowed by 5 million No Kings protestors. Now he’s bombing Iran. Ask: Why now? Who benefits? What’s the endgame? War isn’t strength, it’s desperation wrapped in a flag. 🌓☀️

So the parade cost around $70 million.
The attack on Los Angeles $150 million.
The bombs in Iran $280 million
But we can't have healthcare or food.😒

Guys, Iran is going to do this – because that was always part of their plan – and then the real war will start.

Strait of Hormuz could be vulnerable to Iran retaliation. Here's what to know about the vital oil trade route.
As U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities drive fears of retaliation, it remains to be seen whether Iran will try to block oil trade via the Strait of Hormuz.

Do yourself a favor and follow the BBC’s coverage of Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran. Unlike corporate media in the U.S., which are swallowing Trump & Co.’s lies whole, the BBC are assessing just how reckless and potentially catastrophic Trump’s call was.

"Iran’s top delegation is heading to Moscow.
Oil prices are about to spike—and guess who benefits? Russia. More money for Putin’s war machine.
Zelensky just dropped a bombshell: Putin isn’t stopping at Donbas. He has intelligence suggesting escalation into the Baltics, Poland, and beyond."

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Trump sent troops into LA over the objections of its mayor and governor. This isn’t law enforcement—it’s a test run for martial control. If you’re still waiting for a clearer warning sign, you’ve already missed it. The blueprint is unfolding.

History shows that once an authoritarian ruler establishes the infrastructure of a police state, that same infrastructure can be turned on anyone.
Trump is rapidly creating such an infrastructure.
