Heart-warming Frogman, our there because he doesn't want anyone treated inhumanely 💚💚💚

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

If your business model depends on stealing stuff without compensation, maybe it’s a bad business model and deserves to die.

Now I want a tshirt with "Be NICE not ICE"

Pope Leo: No one should be forced to flee, nor exploited or mistreated because of their situation as foreigners or people in need! Human dignity must always come first!

On the importance of holding on to our values and not redrawing boundaries just based on the number of people who seem to disagree with them.

💔
Why are we so bad at learning from the past?
