There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
Why is ICE harassing women?

2/2 If we fail to push money pools (companies/billionaires) out of politics globally and put them in their place, there will soon be no need to hold elections in any country in the world, as decisions will be made exclusively by companies and no longer by governments...🤔🫣🙄

Killing without evidence isn’t justice. It’s lawless violence 💣
The U.S. is executing suspected traffickers without trial while pardoning convicted ones. When we abandon due process, we abandon the moral authority that separates us from the cartels we claim to fight.

I heard that now they're placing people who criticize ICE under surveillance. I want it to be known to the entire world that I despise ICE to the core and I think their entire institution should be abolished. They are cruel, inhumane, and are examples of the worst of humanity

They said RFK Jr. has reportedly ordered the hiding of two new H5N1 cases in Washington, D.C.
Pandemics Begin in Silence, Not in the Virus.
Internal messages warned CDC staff: ‘Final notice. Speak to the media about bird flu and you’ll be fired.'
