"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for."

~ Barack Obama

"Their elation had nothing to do with any real prospect of victory, but rather with the palpable pleasure they took in killing. Hegseth quite wrongly equates the high he feels...(with) victory in war."

A young Black woman named Tonea Nicole Miller was found hanging from a tree in Miami last week, having traveled down there from Michigan. The um local constabulary are trying to call it a suicide. I mean, no.

There is no reporting on this except for the Black paper in Miami.

Let's keep this story alive. We need accountability.

At the end of the day, this visualization shows what's driving the rising risk of these dangerous heat waves. It's the human-caused burning of fossil fuels and the resulting increase in greenhouse gases. That's it.

So, so many things to note here, but don't miss this one:

The issue here is in no way related to immigration or customs enforcement. But the agents who confronted her were ICE agents.

ICE’s purpose doesn’t really have to do with immigration anymore. Its purpose is to be a dictator’s personal army, sans the discipline and constraints of the actual military, that can be deployed domestically against the country’s own population.

That’s why the Trump admin has bullied through a military-sized budget for the agency.

The regime is making excuses to send #ICE to US polling places in preparation for voter suppression strategies in upcoming elections.

VIDEO: 2 ICE agents confronted a poll worker at a voting site in Syracuse, NY, purportedly for this post she made in January:

“BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”
