A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."
The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.
Reports indicate that several women and Black Navy officers were removed from a promotion list despite prior recommendations for advancement. If merit is truly the standard, then why were these officers passed over? They deserve answers! Those who have earned advancement through service and sacrifice deserve a fair and unbiased process. https://t.co/6mjs8VK8Pd
Alex Acosta, behind closed doors, said Epstein's victims weren't credible enough.
Jasmine Crockett's answer: "A drug dealer's witnesses are drug users. A pimp's are prostitutes. A pedophile's witnesses are children."
Nobody has been charged.
Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.
El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.
🚨 Pardoned Jan. 6er Emily Hernandez drove the wrong way on the road, killing one person and injuring another.
She has been returned to prison with a 10-year sentence.
🚨 Jan. 6 rioter Andrew Taake has pled guilty to soliciting a minor.
He previously received a full pardon from Trump, even though he was caught on camera attacking Capitol police.
🚨 North Carolina deputy pepper-sprays truck driver directly in the eyes at close range just for asking if he could enter a courtroom.
39-year-old Don D. Long II went to the Northampton County Courthouse in Jackson and asked a simple question: whether he was allowed inside the courtroom. According to his attorneys, Long was not running, threatening anyone, or causing any disturbance.
That’s when Deputy Gregory Colson sprayed him directly in the face with pepper spray at close range. Long’s legal team says the spray caused permanent eye damage and ongoing vision problems. They’ve now released video of the incident and sent notice that they plan to sue the deputy, the sheriff, and county officials for excessive force.
A man went to a courthouse to handle legal matters and walked out with lasting eye damage after asking one question. Video of the encounter is now public.
How does a simple request to enter a courtroom justify being pepper-sprayed in the face at close range? And what kind of training or oversight allows this kind of force to be used so quickly on someone who wasn’t being aggressive?
Should Deputy Gregory Colson be fired if the video confirms Long was only asking a question, or should officials wait for the full investigation?
🚨33-year-old Kenneth Wayne Cassels Jr., a Texas MAGA man who spent his time on Facebook sharing Jordan Peterson “wisdom,” laughing at trans people, and posting right-wing memes, has gotten himself arrested for something a lot worse than being terminally cringe.
Cassels, of Lufkin, is behind bars after deputies pulled him over and he allegedly threw two bags containing roughly 59 grams of meth out of his vehicle.
A forensic examination of his phone then revealed child s*xual abuse material, triggering a second search warrant. In total, investigators allegedly found more than 300 images of child s*xual abuse material on his device.
Cassels now faces five counts of possession of child s*xual abuse material, drug possession, and evidence tampering. He’s held on $600,000 bond.
If convicted, he faces 5 to 99 years in prison, a $10,000 maximum fine, and lifetime sex offender registration.
It’s always the ones you most expect.

Trump's National Guard surge violently detains U.S. citizen—for holding a sign.
She was standing on her own front porch.
3 soldiers block her from entering her home—tackle her to ground.
"Help! Help! You're breaking my arm!"

So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?
An Arkansas woman was left bleeding out while suffering a miscarriage after doctors were unable to properly treat her due to the state's strict abortion ban. Emily Waldorf survived and is now suing the state challenging its abortion ban, citing its danger to women's health.
Senate Republicans just tried to sneak the SAVE America Act into their ICE funding bill
Senate Democrats will not let voter suppression legislation pass now OR EVER.
@SenAlexPadilla with the facts.
John Roberts has turned the Court into a shield for Trump.
Now Articles of Impeachment have been filed against him.
This isn’t just symbolic — it’s an opportunity to hold the most powerful judge in the country accountable.
Tell Congress to support this:

This man is a hero in America, standing up against the fascist dictatorship of the free press as billionaires do the bidding of the administration to silence dissent. We all need to be like Scott Pelly and call out bullshit when we see it.

James Carville: “I’m just waiting for the NYT to drop a 5-point series on the depth of this corruption. The corruption is beyond anything, it might be that there’s been more corruption under the administration of Donald Trump than there has in the 250 year history of the US”
