Avid reader. Never Trumper. Disgruntled American. Maltese mom. Woke AF.

thought to hard about this fuckass government i live under and made myself sad i hate that literally everything i do funds multiple genocides and lines the pockets of bastards who want me dead for 7 different reasons

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

ICE Turned Family Reunification Into A Deportation List

A program created to place migrant children with relatives has become a pipeline for deportation arrests.

Do you know what China's been doing while we've been dropping bombs and allocating more money for new weapons? Beating us on alternative energy, manufacturing, high speed rail, technology, microchips, and infrastructure.

🚨 NEW: A $121,617 home renovation invoice used by Ken Paxton’s defense during his impeachment trial was dated September 1, 2020. But the file’s metadata shows it was actually created a month later, on a VERY significant date. We obtained the invoice. Here’s what we found:

New Photos Show Ken Paxton's Team Presented an Invoice for His Home Renovation with Fabricated Dates

Photos of an invoice submitted as evidence during Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's 2023 impeachment trial show that his defense team presented a document

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.

The LA Dodgers gifted a personalized jersey & commemorative World Series ring to a five-time draft dodger and two-time fake president who just happens to be withholding $34 billion in California fire relief funds and $2.16 billion in California Medicaid funding. The Dodgers can go fuck themselves.

Why can’t Gov Andy Beshear just appoint a new Senator to replace Mitch McConnell unless they provide proof of life? Just appoint someone and have the GOP fight it after like they do to Dems.

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

This is Susan Collins giving the most feckless response to ICE killings possible. She mastered the art of saying almost nothing while people are dying. The only proper response to the killing of Joan Sebastian Guerrero is outrage. VOTE HER OUT

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.

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. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

This week is going to be stupid. Next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse..., and then we will have elections. The days after that, it'll be so bad that we will miss these days.

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.

He’s going to announce some bullshit about foreign election interference in the 2020 election on Thursday. Probably so he can attempt to interfere in this year’s election.
