No, Columbus didn't "discover" America. America was already here, filled with people, families, communities, commerce, intelligence 🖤💛❣️🤍 I am so over all the lies #HappyIndigenousPeoplesDay

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Sorry, is there a question here?

27 children died.

Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures.

This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll.

Texas youth camps say cost of implementing new safety requirements will force them to close

During a Friday state hearing, parents of July 4 flood victims said camps should prioritize the safety even if costs are high.

Been sick this past week, so it just makes all the corruption, the lies and cruelty against vulnerable people so much harder to bear, but like these beautiful trees, in their autumn glory, who shed their leaves in winter to survive, we shall also survive, we will adapt and grow strong and outlast 💪🏽🗽

😳😳😳 They ram a victim's car, get out with guns drawn, on American citizens, brutally assault and drag a woman out of a car, pile on top of her, all the while a masked person points a gun at witnesses filming it! 😡😡😡

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

Ooooooo.....So much I could say about this, the lies, the hypocrisy, the cruelty, and how so many of these were actually US citizens, but it just makes me angry and sad. Read the thread if you want to know the truth. Long, long have people of Mexican heritage been villianized unfairly 😡😡😡

Between 1929 and 1936, as many as 2 million people of Mexican descent were repatriated or deported to Mexico. The Mexican Repatriation program was presented as a means of opening up jobs for Americans but was actually driven by nativist sentiment. /1

Mexican Americans wait to be repatriated to Mexico in the 1930s.
