SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

How epically out of date do you need to be to not realise we are decades beyond living for the weekend with the prevalence of shift work, under employment, no weekend pay rates and a 7 day trading week, we don't have the fucking luxury of kicking back on the weekend and will take a break when able!

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

Seeing America and Russia sit down to talk things out, without Ukraine, is one of the most sickening things I've seen of late. Europe better get ready to build an army and support Ukraine in the absence of the US. Slava Ukraini, Crimea is Ukrainian.

Friendly reminder to my American friends that if all you do is share memes about Trump, he gets to do whatever he wants. You need to find the nearest protest, join it, and get loud. YOU SAW WHAT WAS NEEDED DURING THE MAIDAN REVOLUTION IN UKRAINE. pithy comments on bluesky will not fucking cut it.
