Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.
awesome book. Read it twice and saw movie twice. Brave men
no, it doesn't. All my fellow Southerners who are deluded by Rs and Trump won't get invited, either.
tax the wealthiest. In US if you own a home/bldg and are not a legal resident, and you sell it, the govt assumes you are a non-US citizen laundering money and they take a 30% excise tax at closing. What about this in Little Lenningrad a/k/a Belgravia
in my first published novel, An Honorable German, a WW2 naval epic, 2009, Hachette Book Group, I used the joke whispered in the Reich after Hess escaped:
He is brought to WSC who says, 'so you're the madman.'
'No, I'm his deputy'
1 more thing: Allies & Soviets kept Hess in Spandau away from press until death, perhaps by suicide. Must be more to story than we r told if we kept him incommunicado. While expert pilot odd he managed to slip thru Air Defence of Reich and British radar & night fighter net without being caught
One of Churchill's proponets in the Lords referred to H of L as Reichstag. The aristocracy were incredibly anti-Semitic & pro-Nazi. As u know, although aristocracy shunned WSC, he was from most aristocratic family in England Had Duke of Marl not had a son, Churchill would have become D of M
You are so right. Beverbrook a Nazi mouthpiece until the war. Times & BBC toned down critical reporting on Nazi Germany. Naturally, Chamberlain & reptilian traitor Lord Halifax asked them. WSC began to warn about Hitler before he legally came to power & AH used to blast WSC b4 he was back in govt
I most respectfully disagree. (This is how discourse between people occurred before the vulgar DJT). I would say her career trajectory went from stripper and bachelor party entertainer, to roller derby star, to bail bonds woman.
The magnificent HMS #Hood Sunk 24 May 1941, with all hands except for three who miraculously survived out of more than 1400 at the Battle of the #DenmarkStrait
At Tulane, I got blasted on #BourbonStreet many a time, and it never occurred to me that it would snow.

According to DJT, who has a brain with more holes than Swiss cheese, and it is going further into dementia, global warming is the biggest con in the world. But being a con man himself, he supports one con after another. He is one of the most foolish and ignorant people on the planet
Very true. Lots of #fascists in England. #Churhill had members of the #HouseofCommons and the #HouseofLords arrested. # #Johnamery, an English #fascist sympathiser who broadcast for #NaziGermany and whose father was in Churchill's cabinet. He was hanged.
The shadow is what you will become if you don't control your appetite, and the best way to do this is by #chainsmoking #cigarettes #luckystrikes #Stalin crumbled 3LuckyStrikes in his pipe and smoked them. Good old #UncleJoe. He only #killed40 million people. Mistakes were made.
He didn't stop it. Pizzaro did by wrecking the Inca Empire. Who are we to say what the Indigenous people were doing was wrong when we have sacrificed millions in WW1 and WW2.
RFK, if from a wealthy family, most of whom have succeeded in some sort of public endeavour to help people. He desperately wants to achieve the good reputation of the other Kennedys and show he is something other than a trust fund boy. The major problem is---he's an idiot.
I have a primary care doctor, but usually get my vaccinations at the local pharmacy.
At least Churchill had the pleasure of ordering Mosley's arrest and that of his wife, Diana. She stayed loyal to Hitler her entire life.
Unfortunately, no one in America seems to care
I think Noem used to be a stripper. She's had a lot of plastic surgery over the years. She is also big on family values, but lives with her boyfriend of many years instead of her husband. I think this is called adultery and is against the Ten Commandments, but those don't apply to Trump and his crew
right wing evangels consider Catholicism and other liturgical religions (Anglican, Lutheran, etc) to be cults.
Inside the wreck of World War 2-era German destroyer Georg Thiele, which fought in both the naval battles in the Narvik Fjord and had to be beached to avoid sinking. It's a popular diving site now.
The German #Zerstörer 1934A class destroyer Z11 #BerndvonArnim beached and scuttled in the fjord #Rombaksbotn near #Narvik in #Norway. Second Battle of Narvik. The swastika is an aircraft recognition symbol. Fortunately, in the two naval engagements, the RN sank half of Germany's modern destroyers
