News cycles are being manipulated to make people think a problem has been solved when it hasn’t. Bovino removed didn’t change anything but people have been tricked into thinking it did, so they move on. Same as it was.
Know this. The situation in MN is as bad as it’s always been. Don’t forget them.

No wonder they wear masks. If they didn't, we'd see their horns. 😈
ICE is not even a militia. It is an extra-legal paramilitary operation populated by incompetent psychopaths and sadists with a racist and xenophobic agenda.

Trump administration ignoring court orders of the UK to abduct people.
that was harder to find news than it should have been. www.thenational.scot/news/2580376...
Did Donald Trump's US just 'unlawfully abduct two people from Scotland'?

The most powerful Black history in America is quiet.
It isn’t taught the way it should be.
It isn’t centered in textbooks.
But I will explain why it was hidden.🧵👇

On the surface: sadness and rage at this regime's fascism. Under the surface: a seething anger at all those "savvy" people who scoffed at those of us who tried to warn, over and over, year after year, that this is where we'd end up if there were a Trump II.
“President Trump is using all the instruments: the reported quotas for ICE arrests; the paramilitary force made up of thugs drunk on their own brutality; the spectacle of random violence, particularly in city streets; the postmortem vilification of the victims.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

Yes, and the Canadian citizens coordinating with the US administration on #Alberta #separatism are clearly traitors to their country. We on the #ForeverCanadian side acknowledge that there will be a referendum, but we vow that the separatists will lose.
US seeks to use Alberta to destabilize Canada
The Trump administration and MAGA circles are closely watching the conservative, oil-rich province, particularly as a separatist movement has launched a campaign to organize an indy referendum.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
