a screenshot of two tumblr posts. the first: aralintheobsessive Jan 16 if you want butterflies, you need to live with caterpillars. iam not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center, stop buying plants 'to bring in the bees and butterflies and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that dares to consume a single leaf you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies! what are you doing!

By "American citizens" they are talking about WHITE American Citizens.

Black and Indigenous people have had to deal with this for hundreds of years before Trump was even born.

This was always the Real America

yes!

we would love to know whose heart that is

That looks so fun!

Oh my gosh he's like Oscar if Oscar was a 'yote /pos

A copy of the recent YouGov poll showing that as much as 80% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, and that even among moderates in both parties, it's a favorable position. So there's really no reason not to.

Someone has probably linked this already, but we might as well do it again?

*Abolish* ICE.

I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.

Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.

The reason Trump and Mike Johnson want to “take over elections” is because they know they’re deeply, DEEPLY unpopular. They are far too weak to withstand a free and fair election.

Sick fourth-grader among 4 Columbia Heights students held by ICE Columbia Heights Public Schools says four students remain detained by ICE after Liam’s return, including 10-year-old Elizabeth, who has fallen ill.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Unlike any other.

You want that? To be with others like you? Shed flesh for fur?

Mhmmm I thought so... so come a little closer Pup... and I can give you a little bite.

Abolish ICE was the moderate position *years* ago. Catch up soon!

Not projection, a DELIBERATE SMOKESCREEN. There are emails in the files where Epstein is guiding transphobnes and "gender criticals" on their attacks. He has a philosophical email where he muses about how great trans women are as abuse victims. Mails about controlling the narrative to smear us.

im not concerned about misinformation about jk rowling considering she has spent the past 10 years sitting alone in her mold filled mansion spreading misinformation about trans people. idgaf. she is a massive pedophile and went to pedophile island with her best buddy jeffrey epstein

i had a vision

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Let's talk about maternal mortality where Black women have died 3-4x more than White women for decades.

Let's talk about Black patients and the history of medical experimentation.

Let's talk about policing in Black schools ("necessary") and White schools ("over-policing").

Let's fucking talk.

Better things are possible, sooner than later. Keep pushing. Keep finding a reason, and if you have trouble finding one right now, live for the ones that were taken.
