Please, I urge you to spend 45 minutes listening to these brave women who expose how ICE and Customs and Border Patrol exist to torture, terrorize, and kill, and how they operate with impunity.

Now, they're coming after American citizens.

Day 408

Trump didn’t go to receive the coffins of the dead military personnel HE SENT TO DIE.

In a war no one wants.

Or understands.

Trump spent more time talking about his fantasy ballroom and curtains than he did the the fallen.

The worst president in history by miles.

You are all caught up.

Want an easy way to make a difference in this moment of authoritarian breakthrough? Want to hurt one of Trump’s biggest donors and allies? To stick it to a company that helps ICE, enables mass surveillance, and furthers Trump’s brutal agenda?

IT’S EASY. Cancel your Chat GPT.

This is not my image, nor was it my camera. My hats off to whoever took this beautiful picture. It shows that life will allow more than one species to benefit from one thing at once. Even Bees and Hummingbirds can share water or nectar.

FIFA Peace President Would Evacuate Americans From War Zone But Has Ballroom To Plan All the Americans are gone except for two. The embassy’s been hard to reach.

Ah, yes. The time honored tradition of 'start the war, THEN make a plan to evacuate'.

Staying true to their 'your govt doesn't give a sh*t about you' behavior, Felon & co have mostly left ppl to fend for themselves when it comes to trying to get out of the hell on earth that Felon unleashed.

These American Service Members Have Died in the Iran Conflict

My condolences to our fallen troops, those wounded, and their families.

We are eternally grateful for their service to our nation.

Let us continue to pray for the safety of the Illinois National Guard and many other Illinoisans fighting for us abroad.

Thisβ€” *motions everywhere*
This is why no one is supposed to be above the law.
Placing someone above the law provides ample room for lawlessness.

As Trump wages war on Iran, US citizens were instructed to depart 14 countries immediately.

With commercial flights grounded and no help from the United States, Maria Kari explains why the US government is responsible for bringing Americans back home.

Garcia: "The truth is that Donald Trump and Republicans have cut billions of dollars from healthcare and food assistance, and used that money to hire officers who are now terrorizing cities and killing Americans. That's where our taxpayer dollars have gone."

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

Weird.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

#QuitGPT might be more important than the #TeslaTakedown. ChatGPT has agreed to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to its tech, which could be used for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Quitting ChatGPT takes 10 seconds, and alternatives are as good if not better.

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace β€” without being treated like a threat.
