Erasing history is not patriotism. When leaders demand museums whitewash slavery and injustice, they are not protecting America—they are rewriting it. A nation that hides its scars loses its truth. And when truth is gone, democracy follows. Stand up. Speak out. Defend history before it disappears.

ICE just posted this to their Twitter account showing them tearing down an Anti-ICE poster and leaving a dildo behind saying "We're taking America back." Abolish ICE isn't enough, they should all be tried and sent to prison.

THE ICE GESTAPO. Masked. Militarized. Throwing bodies to the ground in broad daylight. No names. No badges. No justice. This is not safety. This is state terror. We see you. And we won’t be silent. open.substack.com/pub/shadowan...

Trump says the homeless will be “given shelter.” Where? Detention camps. First the immigrants, then the homeless, then Medicaid recipients, then the disabled, then the elderly. Fascism creeps in quiet, until it calls your name. open.substack.com/pub/shadowan...

They Say “Shelter.” I Hear “Detention.”
Trump is removing the homeless from D.C., promising “shelter.”

Ghislaine Maxwell is not a tragic figure. She didn’t lose herself—she sold herself to power and profited. She groomed, trafficked, normalized girls’ abuse, then walked away unbothered. She’s not a victim. She’s a predator. Stop rewriting her legacy. Don’t let her off the hook. Not now. Not ever.

Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

Last night Trump claimed all of Iran's nuclear capabilities were destroyed. BUT Vance says no. WSJ reports: "J.D. Vance signaled Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium is still intact and in Iranian control, a potentially significant problem for closing off Iran's future path to a bomb."

Trump’s poll numbers are tanking. His bill is failing. His birthday parade flopped, overshadowed by 5 million No Kings protestors. Now he’s bombing Iran. Ask: Why now? Who benefits? What’s the endgame? War isn’t strength, it’s desperation wrapped in a flag. 🌓☀️

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Trump sent troops into LA over the objections of its mayor and governor. This isn’t law enforcement—it’s a test run for martial control. If you’re still waiting for a clearer warning sign, you’ve already missed it. The blueprint is unfolding.

How about some uplifting news? The LA community is rising up at this very moment and protesting en masse against the unconstitutional, inhumane, and Gestapo type raids today. This is how we fight back against fascism. We the people are more powerful than the despots.✊✊🏻✊🏾

Los Angeles. June 2025. They protested the abduction and deportation of neighbors, and ICE raids feeling like terrorism in the night. The response? Military force. This isn’t order. It’s intimidation. We don’t scare easy. We organize… We remember.

The Supreme Court stopped a tyrant’s hand 7–2, they struck down the attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport without due process. A relic of war, twisted into a weapon of fear. But today it failed. The law still breathes. The fight is still on. But for a moment democracy roared 🌓✨
