Star Trek has always been woke tThat kiss!).
It was woke before woke became synonymous with being Black.
Where else would you find an Alien, Black woman, Asian man, Scott, Russian, and Captain that kisses green women together—in the 1960s?
Thanks Gene!

Greenland saying, “Oh hell naw,” to being annexed by the United States reminds me of the 1963 James Baldwin quote.
"Anybody who was making it in England did not get on the Mayflower."

The article also states ICE apprehended 20-year-old Jonathan Chachipanta Pualacin, an Ecuadorian national that entered the U.S illegally in 2019.
That meant he was 13 years old. Was he an unaccompanied minor? Did his parents bring him here.
This is beyond cruel.

I know people on Bsky know this, but Minneapolis is not a border city. Border patrol has no legal right to be there. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) has no jurisdiction to enforce traffic laws.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

Who started this GoFundMe and where will this money go? Federal workers are prohibited from accepting gifts. Jonathan Ross is a federal employee. Therefore, he's prohibited from accepting this money.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

So is this like a Al Capone, ‘You pay us or we come and break your legs?’ kind of thing? Is that the U.S’ foreign policy?

A “Deportation-Industrial Complex” is right out of the movie, Children of Men. This is not the first time I’ve made that comparison.
I highly recommend you watch it and see what a “Deportation-Industrial Complex” that’s authorized to kill looks like.

Just so we’re clear.
ICE is a para-military organization. ICE agents are NOT being used to enforce immigration laws. They are being sent into communities to terrorize and intimidate citizens and non-citizens into submission to a regime.
Hey Gadsden flag flying people, THIS is your moment.

By the way they put out the cell phone video that the shooter was holding WHILE he shot her, because they know it’s incriminating and they think they can control the narrative by releasing it and saying “it proves our side.”
