BREAKING: Protesters in Minneapolis are reportedly dressing up in jeans, body armor, and masks, and then walking into groups of ICE agents and accusing one or two of them of being imposters until they all start fighting each other, and then the protesters sneak away.

found out my mom has been going on walks in her neighborhood after dark because she is “just so full of rage that anyone who would try to attack her would be needing an ambulance”

You know who else shot civilians in the street?

Nazis

Without the video from Minneapolis, we would not know the truth.

With the video, the world has just witnessed ICE murder an unarmed American citizen.

We protect oil better than we protect school children, women, or water. Welcome to the USA.

unpopular opinion but a lot of “mental health issues” disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. peace is expensive and pretending money doesn’t affect mental health is privilege.

I do not like hearing the Dept of Agriculture say *the well has run dry* about Snap benefits when we are watching a $300 million ballroom be built in real time at the White House.

I call BULLSHIT.

Believe it or not, I actually WANT my taxes to fund SNAP & Medicaid, not golf trips for millionaires & military tanks for war

All this talk of a ballroom to service the super wealthy while the rest of us continue to pay more for healthcare and basic essentials makes me think of this powerful political cartoon from 1906, the artist is William Balfour Ker.

A new report from Brown University finds that America has spent $33 billion on Israel in the last 2 years.

That’s $45 million dollars EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

That’s $4.85/day for every citizen of Israel.

The American taxpayers have sent EVERY citizen in Israel a $144 check, every month, for 24 months straight.

A family of 4 in Israel is receiving $577/month in subsidies, courtesy of the American taxpayer, for 2 years now.

Israelis still have free healthcare and free college and subsidized childcare. They haven’t reduced any of their social welfare programs.

Meanwhile Americans are literally paying for groceries with their credit cards. Same as they have been for almost 3 years.

So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.

Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”

Ruston Kelly’s music has always wrestled with heartbreak and struggle. But after months of silence and doubt, a late-night prayer led him to a new kind of honesty — and his most powerful record yet.
