By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Two dozen kids in frog costumes and fairy wings and chicken suits. This is what Tr*mp is claiming = an insurrection at the ICE facility Portland. The regime are the worst kind of pathetic liars. Portland police, local and state govt all say: nothing is going on here. The only violence is from ICE.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland. That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead. This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her. Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

I was sick of all the anime’s I’ve been watching ending after 1-2 seasons. So I started One Piece. Now I’ll not be able to watch anything else for years.

In general I'd recommend following your local trans/LGBTQ orgs. They know which are messaging bills and which are genuine threats

trans people: i don't recommend freaking out every time some whackjob in a state legislature tries to make something about you illegal, state level politicians are explicitly introducing legislation that will not pass to win points with their wackjob constituents and terrorize you

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it. By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

Men who are lonely I mean this in all seriousness have you tried caring for each other? Like have you tried taking the people you have in your life and checking in on them and sitting down with them and just talking about what they've been through? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The Gaza Skate Team account on IG that I follow has posted they’re too weak from hunger to even attempt skating. Over the past 20 months they’ve been teaching kids to skateboard to try to bring joy during this genocide and they’re on the brink of death. We are living through the failure of humanity.

Trump knows his agenda is wildly unpopular, so instead of selling it, he’s doing what he does best: cheat. His plan? Push red states to redraw their congressional maps to wipe out Democratic seats and lock in a GOP House majority. First up: Texas with a special legislative session set for next week.

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals. What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research. Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out. zurl.co/YBGNy

Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households. Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger. And under Trump, 36x larger.  The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.

it’s insane that real antisemitism like this is intensely normalized and endorsed by the most powerful people in the world but you can’t say free palestine without people trying to ruin your life

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.
