Remarkable speech on the Kansas House floor yesterday by Rep. Abi Boatman.

Scottish officials say two people were taken from Scotland in the middle of the night by the U.S. military, despite a direct order from Scotland’s highest court that they remain in the country.
Now Scotland’s Greens are calling for real consequences; including evicting

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

I just read that the Melt The ICE hat pattern has raised $125,000 which will go to 2 organizations in the Twin Cities to pay for food and rent of immigrants who can't leave their homes!

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Two things happened last weekend.
1. A group of pro-Trump billionaires took control of TikTok's U.S. operations.
2. TikTok appeared to begin suppressing content about ICE's activity in Minneapolis and criticism of Trump.

Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity.
These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt.
US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons.

This is why everyone should ignore the stories about Trump's de-escalation. The administration is *not* pivoting. It is pretending to pivot until the heat from the public and Congress dies down. Meanwhile, on the ground, it's more of the same, with slightly conciliatory language before the cameras.

On camera, immigration agents are shooting and killing people in broad daylight.
Behind closed doors, ICE is also killing people with chokeholds, medical neglect, inadequate food, and other inhumane conditions. The needless deaths and suffering must end.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.
