When Hasan Piker bought a $2.7 million house in LA for him and his family to live in, critics said he wasn’t a real socialist because it’s too expensive. When Zohran Mamdani rents a $2,300 a month apartment in NYC, critics say it’s too cheap for him and he’s not a real socialist. It’s all bad faith

The original art said "Prosperity" on the sign.

One of the destabilizing things about this moment is how clear it is that the folks who are actively destroying democracy and public health while openly celebrating racist/fascist ideologies and embodying truly debased values seem to have absolutely no fear of any future reckoning.

US & Israel didn't ratify Rome Statute, so International Criminal Court doesn't have jurisdiction. Now we see why.

CALONews.com Accompanied by embedded Fox News video reporters, ICE & Border Patrol agents surprised at least 16 criminal mastermind gang leaders- just kidding- they were day laborers in the parking lot of a Westlake Home Depot by leaping out of a Penske rental truck to arrest these migrant workers.

Patton's original quote

Patton's original quote

It's a paraphrasing from 2007:

Then published by Rabbi Shlomo Braun in letter to the editor published in Dominican Today, 2008.

Actual Patton letter quote was different.

This is someone's paraphrasing / interpretation from a 2007 article.

It's not an actual quote.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles
