One of the worst things that social media commentary has done has been to comvince oppressed people that we don't need each other.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.

From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

The phrase β€œpreemptive strike” is as insulting as when we were sold β€œhumanitarian pauses” in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesn’t matter.

Also, just to be clear, WE ARE THE BAD GUYS IN THIS SITUATION! WE ARE SADDAM CIRCA 1990!

Three panel comic. Panel 1: baby monkeys in overalls jumping on a bed, having fun. Panel 2: one of the monkeys falls over the edge of the bed, reaching out as he falls. Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. β€œMonkey Stronger Together.”

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Activists Are Fighting ICE Even Though It Could Get Them Killed. Here’s Why. ICE is still trying to subjugate Minneapolis. It's still failing.

"Maybe all we do is frustrate," Star said. "Give someone one more day with their daughter or their dad.

"But if you lost your dad, or you lost your daughter, you would give anything to have one more day with them. And that’s what we can do.”

When I saw the Bad Bunny show I didn't freak out, I enjoyed it, reveled in the majesty of the performance, the rich subtext of history being showcased, and the sheer talent of everyone involved. I want to be in a world where everything isn't for *me* but instead invites me to learn and grow.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

After years spent documenting state terror, I know it when I see it. And I see it now in the US and Israel | Janine di Giovanni It’s chilling to watch as Trump and Netanyahu adopt the methods of regimes their countries once condemned, says war correspondent and author Janine di Giovanni

America and Israel : Now in the same class of cruelty and brutality, as various Third World dictatorships.

And their voters, knowingly and deliberately, VOTED FOR IT.

What does that tell you about the average American or Israeli?

Y'all should learn how to cook and it's actually a ton of fun to cook with family+ friends and it is a genuine skill you can work on your entire life and the JOY you get from seeing other people eat and enjoy your food is soul restoring... if you disagree take your mental health issues elsewhere.

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched.

Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Saying you find the Epstein files β€œboring” is just a thinly veiled way to say you don’t believe the victims. I expect to see a lot more of that from certain media elites

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.
