ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.

There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's @JRogalskiKHOU found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.

Renee Good all over again.

Every time her son has a birthday, his mother takes him to the cemetery to pick up "the present his father gave him." The intention is to keep him alive in the child's memory.

America's Secret Police in action. Time to ID that guy who let his mask slip.

Shocking moment of today's Russian strike on Sumy, which killed 5 people‼️

Please do not look away!

No mother should be forced to cover her children's bodies with her own like this. No child should have to live through such horrors!

BREAKING:

Israel is burning forests and civilian homes in South Lebanon.

Not military targets.

Houses. Entire ecosystems.

These are war crimes — carried out during a so-called “ceasefire.”

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

I don't know what the fuck happened to this country - why we let these horrific things happen and do absolutely nothing - but it is all heartbreaking.

Donald Trump has just fucked America up.

In Kyiv on July 6, Russian terrorists killed an entire family with a missile strike 💔🕯

​Maksym Hlushchenko, 12 years old
His mother, Anastasiya
His stepfather, Oleh
His great-grandmother, Olha

All of them gone, killed in their own home simply for being Ukrainian.

This is what leaders do when they don’t want free and fair elections. I’ve studied these activities in other countries moving towards autocracy.

To date, I have never read another Medal Of Honor citation like this.
What a human. Read this and tell me if you ever have?

Donald Gilbert Cook, serving with the Naval Advisor Group, U.S. Military Assistance Command, USMC, was interned as a Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam during the period from 31 December 1964 to 8 December 1967.

Despite the fact that by so doing he would bring about harsher treatment for himself, Colonel (then Captain) Cook established himself as the senior prisoner, even though in actuality he was not.

Repeatedly assuming more than his share of the manual labor in order that the other Prisoners of War could improve the state of their health, Col. Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interests of his comrades before that of his own well-being and, eventually, his life.

Giving more needy men his medicine and drug allowance while constantly nursing them, he risked infection from contagious diseases while in a rapidly deteriorating state of health.

This unselfish and exemplary conduct, coupled with his refusal to stray even the slightest from the U.S. Military Code of Conduct, earned him the deepest respect from not only his fellow prisoners, but some of his captors as well.

Rather than negotiate for his own release or better treatment, Col. Cook steadfastly frustrated attempts by the Viet Cong to break his indomitable spirit, and passed this same resolve on to the men with whose well-being he so closely associated himself.

Knowing his refusals would prevent his release prior to the end of the war, and also knowing his chances for prolonged survival would be small in the event of continued refusal, he chose nevertheless to adhere to the U.S. Military Code of Conduct - far above that which could be expected.

Colonel Cook, a son of Brooklyn, died on December 8, 1967 in a jungle Viet Cong Prisoner of War camp in the Republic of Vietnam.

His remains were never recovered.

For his enduring personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty in the face of almost certain death, Donald Gilbert Cook, a son of Brooklyn, was posthumously awarded the Medal Of Honor. He is the only Marine in history to receive it as a Prisoner of War.

Donald, we honor you.
Please honor this amazing Man by reposting so he is not forgotten
Thank you

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security.

Will you join me?🤚

Needless to say, some of the greatest anti-Communists were Social Democrats. Trump wouldn’t know since he never was an anti-Communist—he wanted to cut business deals with the Soviet Union and admired the brutal repression of the Chinese regime.

@JezziiB @Pegster99 Dasha and her hubby, now-sanctioned Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich sailed their yacht into New York Harbor and went to the hospital there to deliver their anchor baby.

Then you see her hanging out with Ivanka.

Where is the outrage?

Kyiv. Unbearable footage.

A mother is waiting for her daughter, who rescuers are still searching for beneath the rubble.

No parent should ever have to go through this.

This is not a movie. This is the reality Ukrainians have been living through for more than four years.

Donald Trump Jr. helped take an online retailer known as the “Amazon of guns” public last year. Now, GrabAGun, where Trump Jr is a shareholder and board member, could reap a windfall from lax gun laws.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Donald Trump Jr became an owner and advisor to a company that wants to ship guns through the mail

…but that’s been illegal for nearly a century

…so his father just rescinded that rule

…to help his company.

It’s not a coincidence.
It’s corruption.
