I've been on here and the hellsite before it long enough that I end up repeating myself.

But an essential thing I need folks to internalize is whatever you allow the state to do to people you despise, it will eventually do to you.

In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting so many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community.

Ambrocio β€œEnrique” Lozano, affectionately known as β€œthe popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

Happy Pride Month!

As Trump continues to promote hate, here is my message to the LGBTQIA+ community: Your existence, your rights, your contributions, your struggles, and your resilience will never be erased.

I will ALWAYS fight for and celebrate your rights, safety and dignity.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

What does India May want to accomplish in the Iowa House?
May said she first got involved in Iowa politics earlier this year when she attended a town hall held by the state legislators in her area, including Thomson.

In part, May said she went to oppose a bill that would deny state funding to libraries that are members of the American Library Association and Iowa Library Association, and another that would remove an exemption in Iowa's obscenity law that shields libraries and educational institutions. Neither bill ultimately passed.

"I’m a nurse and a librarian, and I went to my first town hall this year to advocate for libraries and realized that there were a lot more pieces of legislation that were harmful on the Iowa level that I didn’t even hear about until it was too late," she said.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries.

Now she's running for state house.

I live in North Park just blocks from this restaurant and eat there often. The manager and servers are the best. I wish I had been home when this happened so I could join the resistance. I am so proud of South Park residents for standing up to these gestapo tactics.

This is how it’s done!

FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets.

Unbelievable!
Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware.

7-year-old Kiatsumi from Peru saw a Mexican family struggling at a U.S. airportβ€”and stepped in to help with her bilingual superpowers.

β€œMom, I can do it,” she said. And she did.

WATCH THIS. He gets it right

Nottoway Plantation: the so-called β€œWhite Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.

We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

This is sick. I am in Mexico right now and I see her ads all over the media...
I try to look for the best in everyone but I can't deny that I believe she is a disgusting person. These people are incredibly cruel and soulless.

In Ankara, Turkey, a group of sanitation workers started rescuing books tossed in the trash. Soon, they had enough to open a public library inside an abandoned brick factory. Today, it holds over 6,000 books. They even turned an old garbage truck into a mobile library that delivers books to kids
