I’m sorry. I try not to post political stuff.
But I just watched a video of ICE officers attack a man who was helping a woman up, pin him on the ground, take his (legally owned) gun he NEVER attempted to holster, and then 6 officers shot him to death.
He was white (not important to me but def to MAGA assholes).
He was a citizen.
He was simply helping another citizen get up.
And he was pinned to the ground, disarmed and THEN ecexuted by masked agents working for Donald Trump’s gestapo.
Fuck you if you support this.
Executions for protesters are set to begin in 48 hours. 26 y.o. Erfan Soltani is one of the first to be publicly hanged on Jan 14th, his family were told yesterday.
If the U.S. doesn’t act now—after making its promises—it will go down as one of the biggest betrayals in history.
Last week, Donald Trump promised to come to the aid of Iranian protesters if the regime used lethal force against them. This undoubtedly played a role in their rising up.
Now, possibly thousands lie dead, and Trump has not followed through on his promise (in no small part because the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford is in the Caribbean after Trump’s oil grab in Venezuela).
If the slaughter in Iran continues and the US does not act (already overdue), this is another low point in a presidency of low points: making promises without the means to back them up, and now people lie dead. Shameful.
This is the issue with a presidency incapable of thinking through second- and third-order effects.
⚡️BREAKING: Freed photojournalist Shadi Abu Sido, kidnapped on March 18, 2024, during Israel’s raid on Al-Shifa Medical Complex, spoke after nearly 20 months in captivity, expressing shock at global silence.
“For two years I was starved, I went in starving and came out starving,” he said. “They hung our bodies day and night, naked, abused and insulted us. They told us, ‘We killed your children. Gaza is gone.’”

This is a must-watch. Damn. 🔥
I’m sorry but I gotta get this off my chest.
So far 5 months into Trump’s second term he has :
• Promised to end all current wars, but Ukraine is still not improving while he’s starting ANOTHER war in the Middle East.
• Turned ICE into a modern Gestapo.
• Promised lower gas prices, didn’t happen.
• Promised lower grocery prices, didn’t happen.
• Selling off dozens of millions of acres of federal land to the ultra elite for short term profit while sacrificing wilderness areas that were meant for ALL Americans to enjoy.
Yall voted for this dude begging for change that he promised, but has so far failed to deliver in almost every aspect.
There is no universe in which Trump didn’t flood Los Angeles with ICE agents, a city famous for resistance and protest, just as Elon Musk publicly tied him to Epstein. Now he’s sending in the National Guard.
This isn’t about immigration. It’s about distraction!
