It’s about time people who live in this shit hole country realized that the US does not give a crap about any of you, unless you’re white, male, and fascist. And even then, don’t assume that your life holds any value to the United States of Oligarchy.

Where are all the phony pro-lifers, who, as we all know, hate women? The US, domestically, and internationally, especially in Palestine (where they partner in genocide with Israel, world-class women haters), has been a world leader in killing women.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

“Gaza ceasefire deal. But if history is any guide, ‘peace’ in Gaza could mean a surge of violence in the West Bank, as settlers exact revenge on Palestinians for daring to exist, and the Israeli war machine, which seems to have no off switch, redirects its fire.”

The history of Citizens United & the attempt to make it even more fascist. It should be a wake-up call for those who vote against their own best interests: Rep & Dem voters. The DNC uses identity as a campaign cudgel, because it doesn’t threaten their donors.

I’d recommend this for believers of the fairytale that is liberal Zionism. Liberalism is horrible enough, but when you add in support of genocide, you’re really deluded monsters. Zionism comes in 2 flavors: overt fascism and covert fascism.

Well we don't have dodge bullets at school.
Or ICE thugs coming to kidnap us if we don't have white skin.
Or soldiers marching down the streets, dropping tear gas bombs from helicopters, for literally no reason at all.

So it's not quite as hard as growing up in the USA.

The US will never allow Israel to be implicated in the assassinations of Charlie Kirk or JFK or in 9/11. However, the pertinent point is that the entire world knows just how evil Israel is, and how 100% believable it is that Israel did any/all of these.
electronicintifada.net/content/isra...

Israel was part of the conspiracy to kill JFK

There's growing proof that Israeli intelligence played a role in the assassination.
