An OBAMA APPOINTED judge just saved NPR and PBS. That means your vote from 2012 is helping stop corruption and protect free speech FOURTEEN years later. This is why you vote
The Holocaust lasted for 4 years, and survivors and their descendants are still being paid out today.
Japanese-American internment camps lasted for ~4 years, and survivors were paid $20k each in 1988.
Slavery lasted for 246 YEARS in the US… yet no reparations for the families of those affected.
INSANE: 🇺🇸 Congressman Goldman shows 'credible FBI receipts' that Trump "unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis, he punched her and called her a b*tch!"
"AG Pam Bondi lied under oath to us about this."
You betrayed yourselves. Its you. Trump has always been who he is. He has never changed. You need to get this through your head. You are the problem. His base is the problem. You have betrayed yourselves. Your dignity. Your self respect. Your values. You betrayed everything you guys say you stand for. You allowed yourselves to be deceived because he gave you the permission to be your worst selves and you liked it. Fuck you.
“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.
An order to give no quarter is a war crime.
I’ve fought in combat. I’ve trained service members on the law of war. Our military has an obligation to follow the law.
The Secretary of Defense having such a complete disregard for the law is reckless and dangerous.
🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ has "indefinitely paused" the unsealing of the final Epstein files, citing "regional instability" and "national security" regarding the Iran conflict.
If you had ANY remaining doubts, then nobody can help you.
ICE did it again - released a detainee far from her home without notifying her family.
Three days after having an ankle monitor put on by ICE, 31 year old Daphy Michel was found unresponsive at a bus station. She died later that day.
Daphy was seeking asylum in the US. Her brother lives in the US and has TPS status.
She had a hearing scheduled for April on her immigration case.
Her brother was waiting to hear when she would be released so he could bring her home.
ICE hasn’t answered questions from Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 about when Daphy arrived at the ERO Pittsburgh office, when she received the ankle monitor, how long she was in custody, and where & when she was released.
El mismo judío que compró las Torres Gemelas poco antes de que las derribaran (y se llevó 6 billones de dólares del seguro) acaba de comprar esta torre en Los Ángeles, justo cuando nos están contando que habrá atentado en Los Ángeles
