So what I'm hearing is that, in the last five days, two Black Members of Congress have been assaulted in apparent support of the regime's deportation diktat (Rep Frost, punched at Sundance & told he'd be deported; Rep Omar at an ICE townhall) & the regime has arrested four Black journalists.
Huh.

Letβs be clear: all of you war mongers cheerleading for the invasion of Iran (including the liberal both-sides-ers / two-things-can-be-true-ers AND white βfeministsβ ofc) because the Islamophobia synapses fire in your brains before any other neurones are responsible for the murders that follow.

Screenshot of a post on X by Ash (@theashrb) reading: βSo the same goes for White Americans then no?β The post quotes Clash Report (@clashrepβ¦) saying βTrump on Greenland: The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesnβt mean they own the land.β Below is a video still showing Donald Trump seated at a table with a microphone, with a U.S. flag behind him and White House-style doors in the background. A banner at the bottom reads: βTEXT βPOTUSβ TO 45470 FOR UPDATES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE,β and a small speaker icon appears on the video thumbnail.

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."
Shameful.
