I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time for sure.

The US Supreme Court rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s challenge to her criminal conviction for grooming and trafficking children for rape by Jeffrey #Epstein. The decision means that Maxwell’s conviction on three counts and her 20-year criminal sentence remain in place. #OpDeathEaters

"Energy dominance," you say?

As of this year, *China is exporting more clean-energy technology than the US is exporting the dirty stuff*.

The future is green energy & China, not the US, is set to dominate it.

China Is Beating the US in the Battle for Energy Export Dominance

China’s exports of clean energy technology hit a record in August, with $20 billion shipped globally.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Performative Christians, cruelty dressed up as faith. Using religion to be their worst selves.

"Thank you God for allowing us to harm the most vulnerable among us, give us your blessings to keep doing these despicable deeds."

Governor, you have control of the Illinois National Guard for a reason. Call them up to protect the citizens of Illinois from ICE and federalized troops from Texas. What the President is doing is unconstitutional. There should be a line of armed Illinois guardsmen protecting every protestor.

There are many more US GOP involved in this. The recent arrests for child pornography and pedophilia have been either GOP state, municipal reps or fundamentalist Christian church leaders who support the GOP. GOP Senators and Congressmen not being involved? I don’t think so!

ICE agents are hiding behind masks so they can terrorize communities without consequence.

We will not be silenced or cave to their intimidation tactics. We must all speak up NOW!

We do not bow to kings or their goons in this country!

Text above a photo of masked ICE agents:
ICE goes masked for a single reason-to terrorize Americans into quiescence.
Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. ... Can you imagine a masked Marine? It is a matter of honor-and honor still matters.
To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan.

For the life of me I don't know why it's only 25% and not 90%. Every Canadian should know better by now.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

It’s not. You’ll notice Carney mentioned Azerbaijan & Armenia. That was a sideways reference if ever there was one.

But we can call out the BS and support our PM, let our voices ring louder.
