** & the republican politicians who are gerrymandering & stealing constituent money for throngs we don’t consent to. Don’t blame the constituents. This is literally not what anyone wanted. Place the blame on the red state lawmakers who have the power, not on the poor farmers losing everything.

States of people bc of the wealthy powerful tyrants. Thats what they want, us blaming each other & wishing harm on one another. Don’t play into their hand.

Promises. Yes, they should still own up to their responsibility in voting for him & work to change moving forward. But compassion is the way forward. The victims are not the ones to blame. The wealthy who intentionally manipulated vulnerable people are guilty. And it’s sad to cast blame on entire

While I understand this anger, this take makes me sad. Arkansas & southern states are not monolithic. There are blue dots in these red states and we are hurting. Those farmers were played, they were taken advantage of, hammered with propaganda & years of manipulation by large forces & false

When they asked to speak to their attorney, he said, the officers refused and straitjacketed the already-shackled men in full-body restraint suits called the WRAP, then loaded them onto a plane for the 16-hour-flight to West Africa.

Reminder on indigenous peoples day, permaculture, and regenerative concepts, are a rebranding of indigenous peoples’ models - they are the original authors. (Lots of white guy hippies teaching certification courses etc.) We garden on stolen land, we are benefactors of indigenous wisdom. 🌱

This was the right response, just shut it down. More of this. Only thing that would have been better is if they shut it down earlier. Listening to JDs absurd answer gave me flashbacks to narcissistic manipulation in my past, such evil, twisted speech coming out of his mouth.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

I love these joyful methods of protest, not only for the purposes of making ICE look foolish & making it obvious the resistances is non violent but you’ve gotta believe ICE is incredibly jealous of how much fun they are having & tempted to join their side instead of be a gov tool for opression

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

The Face ID👀 and asking for their address? For 15 yos? this is getting insane. Can they not see the lunacy? The ICE agents get privacy & anonymity with their masks but these kids don’t. 😡
