Reminder that JD Vance is a 15-year project of Thiel’s to take over the U.S. government. The whole regime must be removed.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · Jul 21

JD Vance has always been the long-term plan for right-wing tech billionaires to cement a dictatorship in America.

“Vance has been anointed by Thiel and the rest of the anti-democracy movement as the post-Trump president, tasked with replacing the US establishment with an authoritarian regime.”

Rightwing tech lords are betting that Vance will be the Republican presidential pick in 2028. They’re probably right

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

This is an undeniable diplomatic victory for Azerbaijan and an undeniable humiliation for Putin.

None of this would have been possible if Ukrainians had not continued defending their country, diverting and destroying Russian resources, weakening Putin.

"You can stay on a captured point for 20 or even 30 days (note: this was in 2024; now it can be up to three months, that's the situation)," he says, adding that the reason is that there are no people to replace them, because either they are killed on the way, or the wounded hide, refusing to go.
