There is no leader of Antifa.
There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa.

They are creating imaginary people so they can justify going after real people.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Posting this for anyone- myself included- who gets questioned for doing “white people stuff.” No, it’s our stuff. How do you think our ancestors survived, not just in the colonial diaspora, but in our ancestral homelands?
Being in nature is returning to our native roots also. 🍄 🌱

Westminster Cathedral, opened in 1903, serves as London’s Roman Catholic mother church (vs the Anglican St Paul’s Cathedral, completed in 1710). Mary’s Domain is a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, where soft blue tones create a glowing atmosphere of innocence. #Photography #BlueskyArtShow #Glow

And this is why the police should not comply with the Feds. If they can gas them & lie about how things went down, what makes the police think they won't shoot at them???

1. The effects of strokes can be FULLY REVERSED within 2 hours if you get them immediate medical treatment

2. The fact that they felt comfortable alluding that it was okay to let a drug addict die in custody without medical attention is INSANE

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world.

Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace.

Now, they’re being deported.

Haitian immigrants went to Colorado for the promise of jobs. What they found is being called human trafficking.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Thulusdhoo, Maldives. Sunset Golden Hour at the Sunset Beach. Standing at the shoreline, gazing out at the turquoise and gold-tinged lagoon, the sun peeks through the low clouds, casting a golden hue over the horizon. The sky, adorned with golden clouds, gradually transitions into a deep blue as it ascends. The higher clouds, bathed in the setting sun’s glow, exude a radiant light, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.
