Along with tweaking the algo, buying tiktok, paying influencers $7k to post "Israel rules! I love their hummus, they don't even kill kids", they're trying to rebrand the livestreamed Gaza Genocide as the "War of Redemption". Good luck with that, dickheads.

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.
A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Miscarried is too passive a verb for what happened to these women. ICE killed their unborn children in the womb.
ACLU reporting that “several of the 6 women detained at South Louisiana ICE Center in Basile, LA, & Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA were pregnant & have miscarried while in custody.”
0 outrage from MAGAs about these fetuses. They were never about life. They are only about control of women.
