BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?”

🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

How long til Trump seeks to deport Musk for being an 'illegal'?

This will be the least satisfying "I told you so" in American history... 😣

A photo of a shipping container which concealed the Ukrainian attack drones in a false roof.

Last year, Russia imported 5.4 MILLION shipping containers.

After today’s historic attack, every single one is a potential weapon that Putin is terrified of.

Not only has Ukraine neutered Russia’s long-range air capability today, but they just crippled its supply chain & economy.

Utter genius.

“Is it unlawful for the president to accept a gift from a foreign state without the consent of Congress?”

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

Farage's new economic policy platform reminded me that when he was UKIP leader, the party published a pamphlet by Tim Condgon which stated that EU membership cost the UK 11.5% of its GDP per year junepress.com/product/how-...

The final section of this interview is so powerful. Dr Haj-Hassan refusing to let the BBC “two-side” the genocide in Gaza.

"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide their opinion on whether they are committing a genocide".

The eloquence in her rage is extraordinary.

This is essential viewing.

A remarkable interview with Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, a paediatrician working in Gaza, following the killing of her colleague’s NINE children by Israeli forces.

Going to post this video in two clips.

Here she responds to ludicrous IDF denials & calls out the genocide.

Child poverty is a scar on our national conscience A Labour government has taken millions of children out of poverty before. It can do so again.

“Child poverty is the biggest cause of social division in Britain today, a scar on our national conscience, and a stain on the soul of the country”

📌The Cabinet of the United States of America is a collection of the worst, most incompetent morons in history, and we are supposed to just suffer through it as if it was just another cloudy day.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

The Most Transparent Administration in History™️

The Tories turned this country into a third world country.

Food bank charity Trussell Trust says in the last 5 years there’s been a 46% rise in emergency food parcels provided to families with children

New figures suggest 1.8 million were given out last year (compared to the year before that’s an 8% decrease)

Your occasional reminder that the UK fishing industry adds less £ to UK GDP than Harrods in Knightsbridge and employs roughly the same number of fishers (ca 6000) as the store's full rota.

To this day I'm still perplexed that it is legal.

Kemi Badenoch E @KemiBadenoch Follow 12 years access to British waters is three times longer than the govt wanted. We're becoming a rule-taker from Brussels once again. And with no details on any cap or time limits on Youth Mobility, fears of free movement returning will only increase. This is very concerning.

carp-ing from the sidelines

For those on wondering why a NARCISSIST doesnt talk about his most "heroic" moment. WELL......

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.
