🚨ICE was teargassing a PRE-SCHOOL! 🚨
We should not have to live like this in the USA! One baby quit breathing after tear gas was thrown into the family’s car. You can stop this assault on the people and our rights!

you gave Trump money to give to Israel to kill innocent people.

How you know the baguette REALLY sucks.
I saw these two parakeets grab some bread on the ground today and fly up into the tree so I sat and watched them eating while I was hitting the shutter button on my camera. #parakeets #birds #barcelona #photography

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

My friends and fellow folks living in the US, if this is not the time for a general strike, I don’t know when it is.
we need to shut everything down until we deal with this. the faa doesn’t matter if feds can do whatever they want. the fcc doesn’t matter, darpa doesn’t matter. all that shit takes a backseat to reestablishing the rule of law in america. it has to, if we want it to exist in 3 years

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
