Trump cutting US aid has killed more Christian Nigerians than anyone else ever could. And if we don’t stop him, it will get even more deadly.

He was never about protecting Christians. He was never about justice. He was always about white supremacy and oil. youtube.com/shorts/q5OeE...

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?”

“Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Polanski doesn't divide workers vs businesses, reality does. Material conditions do. The law does. What is this absolute drivel? Why is it being spouted by a Labour MP?

The obvious next step for them. It’s not about “international waters” or any of that BS. It’s just a claim that the president has the inherent power to kill anyone he says is a “terrorist,” a decision that’s unreviewable and for which he’s immune from prosecution.
