A reminder that these are Nuremberg-level crimes. A war of aggression against a country that didn’t attack you. A deliberate premeditated attack on civilian targets. A goal to punish a foreign populace to feel ‘pain’ and not choose targets based on proportionality and with discrimination.
A big generational shift: the PM was feared, rarely criticised by name.
Now he's a meme. This generation calls him out directly, mocks him and memes him without fear, sees him as yet another disappointing RWA Uncle who doesn't get them — and many of them are from core BJP voter families.
Trump: "I am pleased to announce my intention to run for a fourth term as President of the United States. I will be doing that…I won three times, now I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it…I won three times. Did very well the second time, by the way. Rigged election."
I was on the fence about the politics of Zohran saying he'd arrest Netanyahu without the authority to do so, but this poll tips me over into the pro column. The debate has shifted from "is it a genocide?" to "should we arrest the war criminal responsible?"
That's amazing.
ICE violently detain Hispanic kid—as his mother screams for help.
"Go inside, Mama!" son yells in Spanish.
"So they don’t get you too!"
4 agents tackle her son face down onto concrete—kneel on his back with full body weight.
"No! Why are you taking my son away!" mother cries.
Son is taken away handcuffed in an unmarked white truck.
Mother desperately chases after them—throwing her shoes at agents fleeing the scene.
Incident occurred in the Verdugo Viejo neighborhood of Glendale, California.
Benz Dizon doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
On pellet guns.
They are modern adaptions of Victorian-era weapons that spray lead or steel pellets. Also called birdshot guns, they were designed to hunt birds, catch them in flight, hence the multidirectional spray.
The use of pellet guns against protesters began in Kashmir, and now those guns are being deployed in the nation's capital. One clear lesson of recent US and Indian history is that tactics that originate in the 'periphery' will eventually be used in the center as well.
Again, all of a sudden commies are The Enemy. Students of propaganda, track the diff in messaging from a month ago. Goal is likely to justify a crackdown for "national security" reasons, conveniently staged just before the midterms.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
This ad is absolutely insane. Marsha Blackburn crumbles a handful of fortune cookies while the narrator declares "Marsha Blackburn will hunt down every communist."
“I saw video posted on Facebook,” said a man whose father was fatally shot by ICE yesterday. “I recognized him immediately. Not from his appearance but from his voice crying for help as he laid on the street bleeding out.”

There is nothing unlikely about this alliance - it is based purely on Islamophobia, and it has led to the worst foreign policy mistake in the history of modern India.
