To recap:
•Rittenhouse killed 2 people at a BLM rally & raised $2M
•Shiloh Hendrix called a Black child the n-word & raised $800K
•Now Crystal Wilsey called a Black customer the n-word & has already raised $100K in 1 day

On thing remains clear—White supremacy remains extremely profitable in America

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

"It was estimated in early November that 600,000 people had already died because of [the USAID] cuts, with two-thirds of them being children.

I think it is fair to say that this is a crime against humanity. It is a staggering number of deaths."
Crimes against humanity
We need to make a bigger issue of what happened to the world when Elon Musk decimated USAID.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said on Sunday that the ceasefire deal in Gaza is a “farce.” “It’s harmful and disingenuous for American media to continue the charade that there’s a ceasefire in place.” UNICEF reported that Israeli forces have killed 67 children since October 11, 2025.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel were out last night enjoying the Las Vegas F1 race at taxpayers’ expense. This is exactly the kind of fraud, waste, and abuse that deserves a full investigation.
