Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Update - 2026's first rug. This hooked boucherouite is big enough to go on the floor, if desired. Almost all old bedsheets with a little t-shirt.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office.
Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today.

Fascism is here.
Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.
NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.
IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Special find at the International Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe yesterday - a hooked rug! It was made by Celso Gallegos in the late 1920s, early 30s. The colors were incredibly vibrant. It was clearly well cared for.
