Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

A large crowd at Tehran’s Behesht-e Zahra cemetery is seen receiving the shrouded bodies of loved ones, chanting “With honor!” and “Death to Khamenei.”

Iranian sources report thousands killed and many more wounded in the regime’s violent crackdown on nationwide protests.

If you’re going to kidnap a dictator why wouldn’t you start with Putin?

Make sense?

WATCH — @jonfavs.bsky.social : “Who the f*ck cares if she was an activist or not? That doesn’t mean you get SHOT… They don’t think we live in a country of laws anymore. They think power is the only thing that matters.”

Why was it tyranny when people were “forced” to wear masks during the early days of Covid, but it’s not tyranny when masked men with guns are demanding people comply with unlawful orders?

Why are those on the right who screamed about freedom for years so eager to give it up?

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

The Epstein Cover-Up at the FBI Inside the chaotic review process of the Epstein and Maxwell files at the Bureau

The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Terrible things.

Masked men.

Today, in America.

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

Ocoee, Florida. 1920.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

US immigration authorities appear to have begun deporting migrants to South Sudan, attorneys say Immigration attorneys say the Trump administration appears to have begun deporting people from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan despite a court order restricting removals to other countries.

It appears that the Republican administration has started deporting people from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan, in blatant violation of court orders.

Newsdeck: US embassies globally tell suppliers to comply with Trump ban on diversity policies

MADRID, March 31 (Reuters) - The Trump administration has warned local suppliers to U.S. embassies and consulates as well as recipients of U.S. grants worldwide that they must comply with its ban on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programmes or risk losing payments.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.
