Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.
Cassandra Complex

I would like to see a full investigation into why Boris Johnson installed the Russian oligarch Lebedev into the House of Lords AGAINST the advice of UK Security services. Russia has killed British citizens on British soil. The Tories worked with them the entire time. Slava Ukraine.
This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.
Texas. Ken Paxton cut an Epstein-style deal for pedophile Adam Hoffman, after only 29 days, with no need to register as a sex offender. James Talarico filed a FOIA to compel Paxton to release the files. Paxton refused, telling Texans he doesn’t owe them a reason why. #Vote4Talarico
It's always who you most suspect. This is from 2024 but last year it was the same 40% of those arrested had previous charges of domestic abuse. But they wanna "protect the wimmin n the kiddies" www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/uk-riot...
We’ve just received word that Jake Lang and the Proud Boys are headed to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. Everyone in the area please show up and make them hear you.
Yes. And they will moan and still act the victim. It is a behaviour many domestic violence abusers demonstrate. One thing I would like ro see is collusion with Russian sanctioned more and strip Yaxley Lennon of a passport. We need to act on the increasing foreign threats on our democracy.
Why is Farage seeking Government Security? Surely he could use some of that £5 Million to pay for that or just go live in Europe somewhere. He has a EU passport. Another thought, he's no longer an MP 🤔
Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. They are demanding immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

England and Wales burn up under another exceptional heat wave as evidence mounts that climate chaos is coming sooner and harder than predicted. Media decides the story is "phew what a scorcher" "business as normal" www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Most UK media reports on June heatwave failed to mention climate crisis
Exclusive: Analysis of nearly 2,500 articles finds almost three-quarters made no reference to global heating

People of Maine take to streets Protesting the ICE killing in Biddeford! #Maine #Protest #biddeford #SomosHumans #SomosMéxico
STOP electing old men who won’t even be alive to see the consequences of their legislation… JUST STOP!! 😎✨
Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.
The Epstein files “raise serious questions regarding the extent of the bank’s relationship with Epstein, and your knowledge of these ties,” Warren told Dimon.

There is a delicious irony in Farage having willfully stepped down as an MP so not now entitled to protection.
The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

A 5 year old got her first library card today. I gave her the receipt and said welcome to our library. Use this as a bookmark. I shook her hand and introduced myself. Gemma is a reader. My heart explodes. We got a club member!
AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.
America, 2026: A president who boasts about his own genius in the third person, appears completely unhinged, and still commands the support of roughly 35–40% of the electorate. Quite something.
Hot Take (that shouldn’t be hot): I do not give a fuck about Black excellence. Jay-Z got a seat at the table in the NFL & players still can’t take a knee for Black Lives. He’s “in the room” with Target & they still ain’t reinstate DEI. I care about the black collective and liberation for all.
No one in history has had more attorneys disbarred on their behalf than this psychopath. And you can’t pardon a disbarment.
