Trade Unionist. I'm really disappointed in people that I thought I once knew. You can call me whatever you want to.

I forget to take the time to look at these books that my family made for me on Father's day. Fortunately, my daughter remembers to pull them off the book shelf so that we can relive our best memories at our National Parks and other adventures around the world. I'm truly grateful for all of it.

Young people are waking up to the injustices of this administration, they won’t tolerate being lied to for much longer. ICE isn’t here to protect. Young people need to realize how much power they hold!

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

TW: video showcasing a violent display of force by federal agents
From Charlotte, NC. Seen it shared on a few NC based IG pages. Based on this video, federal agents using the same tactics we’ve seen the last few months in Chicago.

We are an ugly society.
Officials in a Mississippi jail violently abused the people incarcerated there and encouraged other detainees known as “trusties” to join in on the beatings.
Incarcerated people must not face abuse at the hands of the state.
