Learned enough in school to know what fascism is and how propaganda works... That should be all you need to know to be on the right side of history in this critical time. Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead.

Above all, he is an extremely dangerous, racistic, pathological liar and cheater without any idea or even a real interest to "make America great again."

Even if he would seriously try to do his best, his policies are simply overwhelming stupid and harmful for common people and the nation. 😵‍💫😢

Yeah, this is very straightforwardly the sort of stuff that loses you qualified immunity. doesn’t mean it’s worth litigating and the officers won’t personally pay a dime, but this is just ridiculous.

Fellow flotilla activists are alleging Greta Thunberg was horrifically mistreated in Israeli detention.

If this is how Israel treats a high-profile detainee like Greta Thunberg, I want you to consider how they treat Palestinian detainees.

You don’t have to imagine it. It’s been widely documented:

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

Pressure your representative, your elected politicians.

Greta Thunberg is truly among the bravest of us. She goes well beyond what liberals pretend to be, as well. A hero and incredible person. Free Gaza, free Palestine from the zionist occupation!! 🇵🇸

Bernie and AOC should lead the democrats in the senate and house respectively..

They have what it takes - caring for the common man, sensible policies, courage to stand up for it, consistent over a long period and an ability to articulate the positions clearly..

"A clear visual clue that the photograph was not taken in Portland was that the first officer’s shield is marked 'Policia', the Spanish or Portuguese word for police."

As you can see, I had to use cutting edge #OSINT techniques for this one.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
