Venezuela is not responding with force because it is a fractured nation with an unstable government and a struggling economy. It is ill equipped to handle US aggression. Allies of Venezuela such as Cuba and Russia have been disinclined to weigh in on US aggression.

JFC! 😮

There’s so much to unpack here from the grift, sexual abuse (& hypocritical forced Plan B) to straight up modern day slavery!

Bottom line: “Cash for Christ” is always a scam. Beware anyone selling God for profit.

It’s no surprise the men taking these jobs are hateful, weak, & insecure.

Are they at home body slamming the women in their lives? Has anyone thought about that?

Yesterday Republicans told people the racist video Trump posted was just a joke

But today..

Today his racism was put into practice when his ICE goons rounded up Black and Brown children in Chicago-including citizens

And I bet the families of those kids aren't laughing

Nor should anyone else

Project 2025 was the plan all along

The fever dream of Stephen Miller

Fire as many government employees as possible

Roll back regulations so billionaires can exploit ALL of our resources-including US workers

End anything that promotes equity

Destroy the rule of law

Burn down American democracy

This man is a public figure, speaking out. We expressed outrage when Jimmy Kimmel got pulled off the air . Where’s the outrage in honor of this public figure? He’s not famous enough. He’s brown. You think they’re not coming for all of us?

This is absolutely unacceptable. If I know of ICE activity in my town I’m out there to show this is wrong in my town and force them out. Where was his community?

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

With the GOP holding the White House and both chambers of Congress, we’ve entered a shutdown. It’s the first since 2018, which is also the last time the GOP held the White House and both chambers of Congress. They want to rule, but they have no interest in governing.
