My current enemies are not in Iran, they’re in the Epstein Files.

Because the white men in charge LOVE murdering brown people.

History attests to it.

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 it’s 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 Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

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/?)

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
