This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Donald Trump cares about one person: Donald Trump. Bribes from industry. Buildings with his name. Gold coins with his face. Americans are paying the price for a president who's completely consumed by his own vanity.

Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."

I hear you, the government he leads is undoubtedly comprised of duplicitous shills, but he is a ukulele away from Morrisons scum factory. Howard's legacy has condemned us for a generation.

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

We’re not just losing trees. We’re losing living history. The oldest beings on Earth have witnessed centuries of human triumph and failure. To cut them down for short-term profit isn’t just deforestation—it’s historical erasure. Protect what remains. 📜🌳 #Ecocide #LivingHistory

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

ICE Goons Tracker @icegoons.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.

ICE Shot a DoorDash Driver in the Back in Austin
Rather than getting him medical help, they carted him off to an ICE detention complex—and the bullet is still in his back.

Per Kaitlan Collins, while major news outlets are currently suing for their 1st A right, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBS, & Fox News have banded together and suspended the TV pool. This means he won't get TV coverage from any major news outlet. Love this for him. #ProudBlue #ProudBlue 📹: cnnkaitlancollins/TT
