Kids in Texas died as a direct result of Kristi Noem's negligence. She should be removed from office before her incompetence gets Oregonians killed in a wildfire.
“In the past, FEMA would have swiftly staged these teams…
But officials realized they needed Noem’s approval before sending additional assets. Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until more than 72 hours after the flooding began.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott being insensitive during a time of death and destruction? Sounds about right.

Hey Abbott: how about apologizing to those that are suffering right now?

Maybe you can use some more football metaphors to ease their pain.

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process.

This is not law enforcement.
This is authoritarianism.

Demand accountability.

Stay loud.
Stay informed.
Stay safe.

Hundreds of former Afghan commandos & their families were refused relocation by a UK Special Forces officer with possible links to a war crimes enquiry where they could’ve been witnesses.

At least five were later murdered by the Taliban.

The MoD then lied about this to Parliament & the courts.
One Special Forces officer blocked 1,585 Afghans from settling in UK
Documents shown to court by MoD show the officer rejected every application referred to him in the summer of 2023.

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
