Before you start saying we should #deport #immigrants, maybe look inward…

European settlers stole the #UnitedStates through violence and displacement.

The truth: white Americans aren’t native to this soil—they’re European.

The only people with any real claim to being “from here” are Indigenous.

The #UnitedStates depends on immigrants to function.

Any argument against that truth often originates from people with overseas bank accounts, people who would benefit financially if our nation were to fail.

Why don’t more people see this?

Wake up, #America.

This will always be one of my favorite things I’ve seen you in.

My sister’s spouse taught it to me! They are from Charleston and it’s Gullah slang that’s commonly used there.

Absolutely must add “boonkey” to our fight-for list!

The people have spoken.

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.

What they’re really up to as we feel “some pain”…

Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by Musk's DOGE are expected to produce no savings Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that President Donald Trump’s administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save the government any money,...

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

So uh…we’re really just gonna let this happen?
#impeachtrump

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

“In fact, some studies indicate that #immigration can lower criminal activity, especially violent #crime, in places with #inclusive policies and social environments where #immigrant populations are well established.”

www.migrationpolicy.org/content/immi...

Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born Study finds over a 150-year period, immigrants have never been incarcerated at a greater rate than those born in the United States

Research consistently shows that immigrants, including undocumented individuals, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

There is NO EVIDENCE that increasing #deportations leads to a reduction in crime

The super rich just want you broke while they hoard resources.

How fun is a gilded mansion if no one fucking likes you enough to hang out with you in it?

“First, we must get economic relief to our citizens. Starting on Day One, we will drive down prices and Make America AFFORDABLE again!”
- Donald Trump on X
July 18, 2024

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

RIP freedom of speech 🪦

Something has shifted in the moons, sister. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

I can’t even look at the news today but this is about where I’m at.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Put this woman on a prayer candle already!
