ICE chase down & tackle U.S. citizen to the ground—because he "looked illegal." The agents in tactical gear slink away from the scene after realizing mistake. Their only explanation: "Why were you running?" Probably because 2 masked men with guns were trying to kidnap him. El Monte, California.

Let me say something that is extremely logical right now. Do not take a holiday in the United States of America. There should be a global warning. “Go to the United States at your peril. You could literally be snatched off the streets and disappeared.”

You have to fundamentally realise what is really going on in America. Democracy doesn’t work for the wealthy. They want to rule. Democracy doesn’t allow that. So destroy democracy by controlling what people see and hear. Particularly effective for non critical thinkers.

Northern Arapaho girl wanted to wear her regalia beneath her gown to graduation. The principal of her Wyoming high school told her, “If I let one minority do it, then I have to let the rest.” Should Native graduates be allowed to wear their regalia, beneath their gowns?

In Trump’s first term he repeatedly insisted you need ID to buy groceries. Which was weird, but unlike now he never said the word “groceries” was old-fashioned or anything.

Trump still thinks you need photo ID to buy groceries
"If you want to go out and buy groceries you need identification…..the only thing you don't need identification for is to vote"
Someone in the crowd then informs him that Louisiana already has voter ID, which he didn't know.

Zelenskyy accuses Putin of sending ‘junior’ officials for talks
The talks in Turkey were supposed to involve the presidents of Ukraine, Russia and possibly the USA. Instead, Russia sent some low level officials while Vladimir Putin remained very much at home.
