“If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”
-Harriet Tubman
This American teenager gets it:
“We don’t have money for universal healthcare or to make sure kids don’t go hungry in this country, but apparently we have $11.3 billion fucking dollars to burn in 7 days to start a war nobody ask for to bomb innocent school children, twice.”

A 7-year-old girl died in ICE custody of dehydration.
Officials called it "unforeseen."
She asked for water three times.
That's not an accident.
That's murder by indifference.
This young lady was called Phillis because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal 🇸🇳.
In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: “She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!”
She was felt naked by many hands.
At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen so-called enlightened White men in robes and wigs.
She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and verses from the Bible, and vow that the poems she composed were not copied.
From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet.
Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States 🇺🇸
A nurse attempting to assist a woman who was attacked and injured by ICE thugs was shot at point-blank range in the back of the head in broad daylight FOUR DAYS after they wrapped filming for Season 2.
Greatest genocide in history was not Hitler
Its was European invaders eliminating over 56 million native Americans and killed millions of Bison just to starve native Americans
Over 200 years later native Americans still being treated with contempt and no respect or dignity

ICE and DHS are active in The U.S. Virgin Islands. That's the Caribbean.
Those terrorists are now active in the Caribbean, and they're kidnapping Black people.
I SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
I said the U.S. is trying to colonise the Caribbean, and ICE and DHS are a paramilitary force
Just so i understand this, blocking the strait of Hormuz is unfair, but blocking oil shipments to Cuba in order to collapse their whole country, is fair, did I get that right🤔

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet.
Afroman had his house raided by Ohio Adam County deputies… who found absolutely nothing… broke his door, trashed his place, allegedly had $400 go missing… and then they refused to pay for the damages.
So, like any reasonable rapper would do…
He turned his home security footage into music videos, mocking them.
And then, the deputies sued him for FOUR MILLION dollars… because they didn’t like being made fun of.
And Afroman’s response?
He dropped ANOTHER music video.
In his own words:
“Unconfidential informant lied to Police to get out of some trouble. Adam County Sherriff officers made a mistake by believing the lie. Raided my house, found nothing, refused to pay for the damages and filed a lawsuit against me, Afroman, for exercising my freedom of speech! This is me holding trial in one song. I hope you enjoy it.”
They said his videos “ridiculed” them… so he decided to show them what that actually looks like.
And the best part?
A jury basically said… yeah… you don’t get to raid someone’s home, end up in their surveillance footage, and then cry because they used it to make fun of you.
Leaked video from inside ICE detention shows women trapped in desperate conditions—smuggled out by husband.
Used panties, moldy food, broken shoes, clothes that don't fit because made for men—and a toxic mattress made of insulation.
Gabriela Sousa came to U.S. legally granted humanitarian parole from Venezuela—and is married to U.S. citizen husband.
Her husband helped the women smuggle out this video they made—with testimonials from several women detained together in these inhumane conditions
The video was made secretly inside the Baker County ICE Detention Center in Macclenny, Florida.
"Underage girls testing positive for pregnancy at detention centers."
Let me fix that for you.
"Children being raped at detention centers."
There you go.
The girls in the ICE detention centers are pregnant. They weren’t pregnant when they went in. We need DNA samples of every single ICE agent to match who is raping these girls. Why is this not happening?
This story of the potentially irreversible destruction of a crown-jewel national park is rapidly unfolding with absolutely zero national media attention. Journalists — we need you. Where are you?
