The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back βgay conversion therapy.β
This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

You may not be paying attention to this story,
but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.
Kyren took his own life in April.

We must remember this time. When Americans took delight in the suffering of others. Cheered it on. Clapped. Laughed. All the whilst calling themselves Christians.
The whole world sees you now America.
And itβs not pretty.
You are not a country people want to support.

Operation βFreaky Fridayβ, a calculated scheme targeting some of the most vulnerable people in the country: immigrant children.
ICE is sending letters offering minors $2,500 for βvoluntaryβ departure, while threatening enforcement if they refuse.

05.10.2025 22:21 β π 6108 π 2800 π¬ 294 π 228Things to consider:
Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter
Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed
You are a witness.
Expose it.
Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, itβs fundamentally the same playbook.
Our duty is to stand up to brutality.
Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
The government does not have the power to declare βfree speech zones.β And the violent arrest of the rabbi should set off some alarm bells.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document whatβs happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.
