My current enemies are not in Iran, theyβre in the Epstein Files.
Because the white men in charge LOVE murdering brown people.
History attests to it.
Thou shalt not kill schoolchildren to distract from your crimes against children.
Iran was not going to attack the USA. There was no imminent threat. They will not even bother to prove one, because what are you going to do about it?
As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran.
But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans!

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
Every time I read the news nowadays, I am left breathless with how the Filipino experience has so much to inform the current social climate, from our colonial history to our experiences with Marcos AND Duterte. Follow these Filipinos (and those studying the Philippines) here:

I don't know what is going to happen. But I would recommend not getting your hopes up about Texas. I speak from experience.
BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.
She never lived to see this moment, but itβs worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrewβs.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect
Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.
We are the laughing stock of the world.
Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
a werewolf in front of a house wearing a βBE MINEβ heart and holding a sign that reads βTHE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVEβ above a photo of bad bunny
a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now itβs dressed for valentineβs day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
watching clips from the hearing today and if the United States does not find justice for the Epstein victims and perpetrators then God will, and He will hold the United States guilty as an accomplice
