There’s growing momentum to boycott the FIFA World Cup.
What I want to know is why are Canada and Mexico still hosting alongside the US? Trump wants to annex Canada and Canada is still going along with sharing the World Cup? Trump obviously doesn’t believe in Mexican sovereignty either.

Now people understand what “strong borders” have meant in practice. Hopefully it will help them see the core of what we’re actually fighting: white supremacy morphing into widespread fascism.

Please stop saying they are untrained! This is the training. You just didn’t care bc it was always on the border aimed at undocumented people. Now you care bc it is affecting white Americans. My work on Substack documents all of this.

Newsom is a MAGA-friendly circus peanut. He’s done.
Gavin Newsom had Ben Shapiro on his podcast 10 days ago where he was cozying up to Shapiro. Newsom also said that ICE aren't terrorists, walking back his claim from days prior and also said there is no genocide in Palestine.

Tiktok is state media now. Queer, trans, liberal, leftist content etc will ask be suppressed going forward.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

They’re lawless thugs who are killing people in the streets because they know they will get away with it.
But please be wary of bills that ban masks.
Many disabled people need masks to survive.
