I follow a lot of American politics, despite being British.

Why? It's because my wife resides in America, and because America has a huge influence over the rest of the world - especially the billionaires.

American politics therefore is extremely important, even though I am unable to vote.

Nah she has been up in his DMs for a while. She could be using him to overthrow Maduro, but she's still a right-winger. Less shitty than Trump, mind you, but does want to privatise everything to be more like America.

The main problem is the withholding of evidence to begin with. It took away most of his life.

ICE is, as cruel as they are, acting on an order in relation to LSD from the 80s.

What is sickening though is calling him a career criminal when it's absolutely false, but who is surprised?

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

This is why I avoid reposting images like this, when there is no source. It's good practice.

Didn't Hegseth say exactly that and then walked it back as a misspeak?

I know Americans that work in special education. I don't know if they will be affected but it's bullshit nonetheless.

No child, disabled or otherwise, should suffer from a lack of education.

I think I know why conservatives always chat shit about transwomen but rarely ever transmen.

They are insecure men that got intimidated by a packin' baddie.

I won't bother arguing with you. You're a Transphobe, and an Islamophobe.

And that will be changed. The world has awoken. The UN called it a genocide, and it will never be forgotten.

Israel will likely live on, but their apartheid regime should never, ever be given an ounce of respect.

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

"People can be fun loving people and still protest."

I can never tell which is owned by who. Is NYPost owned by Bezos? Or is that NYTimes or WaPost?

Palestinian children are terrorists? I don't think so. Keep trying to find reasons to justify a genocide.

If I invaded your home, you'd likely attack me. Guess what happened in the late 1800s? An invasion of Palestine. The two fundamentally are no different.

Colonialism is never acceptable.

I didn't say Israel *is* isolated. I said they *must* be isolated.

You're right, but there isn't much I can do from over here!

I personally don't use Amazon, Twitter and Meta. For us, it's about preventing the rise of Trumpism in the UK.

Kat's wall reminds me of a newspaper, and so I've associated Kat with a newspaper. I have an intolerance to paper.

But Kat is fighting for a better America, and we across the world, can applaud her for that!

Keep going!

I agree for the most part. Israel must be isolated and condemned to the fullest degree, but we must stand strong with the British Jews too. Zack knows this, as a Jew himself.

Religious nationalism must also be condemned. True secularism is the way forward.

Genocide is not an answer for genocide. Removing Israel would also exacerbate violence in the region, not only during the process but after too. Civilians, both for and against apartheid will die.

Violence is never the answer.

I do think we should be more neutral in many instances, but I do hate to take a neutral stance when people are dying or suffering from a lack of human rights.

I'd appreciate some input, not here to debate, I'm just wanting to be open minded.
