The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Syrians know what dictatorship looks like. It starts with a few gov-perpetrated murders & distortion of the truth, then escalates to full-scale warfare against a civilian population. Americans, be prepared.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noemโ€™s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Dramatic stencil-style artwork on a faded American flag background with red-and-white stripes and dark blue field of stars. A masked ICE agent in black balaclava, tactical vest, pants, and boots stands behind a kneeling man in light gray hoodie and pants, gripping his head and pressing a pistol to the back of his skull in an execution pose. High-contrast black shadows emphasize tension; portrays "Trump's America where ICE execute people."

Saturday, October 18th. Wear yellow. Show up. Show out. nokings.org

Protestors are asked to wear the colour yellow to increase visibility and uniformity.

If you have extra yellow tape, clothes, or ribbons help distribute it to others. For example, you can cut old shirts and make arm bands or head bands. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Sen. Sanders: No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings rally on Oct. 18 is not a hate America rally. Itโ€™s a Love America Rally. Itโ€™s a rally of millions of people who believe in our Constitution, in the American Freedom, and whoโ€™s not gonna let you or Trump turn this country into an authoritarian society.

Syria makes military service voluntary for the first time

A few steps forward, a few steps back, sometimes no real movement. Syria is slowly but surely unlearning Assad.

Israel promueve la liberaciรณn de militantes yihadists y se niega a liberar a los lรญderes de la resistencia laica. Lo mismo hizo Assad en Siria, favoreciendo la liberaciรณn de los fundamentalistas. La tรกctica de cuanto peor, mejor.
