Good for you to fire back at him that he’s a terrible president. In fact, add corrupt and an incompetent leader

Absolutely. 😳💯👍 Putin made a big mistake invading Ukraine. He continues making despicable errors each day since targeting civilian homes.
❗️Do you support 🇺🇦Ukraine's accession to the 🇪🇺EU?

OMG! Absolutely. What could I bring with me?
So, if I invited you to my winter home for some frybread and a hot cup of coffee or tea and tales of Lakota yore — would you accept my invitation?

ICE detain mother—and her orphaned 4 year old boy. At fingerprinting appointment for asylum case. "You just took a kid!" witness yells. "Where are you putting the kids?" Lawyer said: "This is the first time I’ve heard of them not even letting a child go." "His mother wanted a family friend who was already present to take care of the boy." She says they were legally observing—and the child has a right to counsel under an injunction. Referencing the 2025 Supreme Court case Kristi Noem v. Pedro Vasquez Perdomo. Incident occurred at USCIS El Monte Application Support Center in City of Industry, California. Chuang Legal Office doesn't have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

This diabolical white supremacist dickhead is behind ICE’s racist fueled human rights violations. He must be investigated, prosecuted and IMPRISONED. Then, perhaps, this nation can begin the healing process.

These ICE thugs need to be restrained. And thoroughly trained in confronting people. 😳✅💯
UPDATE—The ICE agent in this video violently attacking a U.S. citizen has been arrested for child sex crimes. Kent Blacklidge was charged with rape, sexual abuse, and incest involving a juvenile. His job for ICE was investigating child exploitation cases.

What a wonderful concept! Go for it 😳💯✅❤️
BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards... Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state. In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California. Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times. Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course. The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more. Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes). 10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50. 222 + 50 = 272. And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact. In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states. States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election. We can fix our democracy. The time is now. Please ❤️ and share if you support this idea!
Absolutely. 😳✅💯. No proselytizing
Churches are supposed to be apolitical. If churches want to get into politics then they can start paying some taxes too. Who here agrees with me? 🤚🏾

Hello, I believe our election says we stand with you and don’t support Trump’s attempts at “ending” the war on his terms.

False claim. This video is a rally that happened October 2024. The German government has clamped down on this group.
BREAKING: Thousands of Islamists gathered tonight in Hamburg to demand the introduction of Sharia law in Germany 🇩🇪. Europe as we once knew it is history and now they are coming for the big prize America. I’m afraid your kids and grandkids will be living in hell because you were too afraid to take a stand when it mattered, when you could have stopped it. And if you don’t think it can happen here, you’re wrong. It’s already happening.

Retribution. No one deserves this vindictiveness. 😳😖
She was just 23. russians tore out her fingernails, burned her hands, shot her — and finally executed her with a bullet to the head. Bucha. March 2022. Karina Yershova had fled russian-occupied Donetsk with her family in 2014. Eight years later, russia caught up with her again. She was tortured and murdered. An elderly couple, Viktor and Natalia Mazokha, tried to save her. A russian soldier killed them too. Karina's body was found in a mass grave. Her mother was left to bury her daughter in a closed coffin, desperately trying to open it for one last look at her child's face. She was 23. This is what russian occupation means. Remember Karina Yershova. Remember Viktor and Natalia Mazokha. Their names must never be forgotten. russia must face justice.

For the MAGA shidiots in the back… some facts: No, Trump didn’t “get” Greenland. Denmark didn’t “give” us Greenland. We’re never going to “have” Greenland, much like how we don’t “have” Venezuela or “have” control over the Strait of Hormuz. He didn’t “solve inflation” and the war he started 8 months ago, that isn’t a war, isn’t “won”. Gas prices aren’t lower than they were when Biden left office and neither is diesel. We’re not the “hottest country” in the world. This isn’t the “Golden Age”. We aren’t “respected again”. We are a global laughing stock, and at this point most people in other countries just want to know if we’re ok. Affordability isn’t a “hoax”, data centers aren’t popular, vaccines and Tylenol don’t “cause” autism and the Epstein files, much like the creepy ass birthday card Trump sent his best friend Jeff, are very, very real. It’s still Lake Ontario, it’s still the Gulf of Mexico, and it’s still very fucking much, called AI. He doesn’t have a “healthcare plan”, you’re not getting your Doge check, your tariff check or your $5,000. The ballroom you’ll never see and the golf course you’ll never use aren’t “free”. The reflecting pool wasn’t “vandalized”, January 6th wasn’t “peaceful”, and the 2020 election wasn’t “stolen”. No one is changing your child’s gender at school, no one is eating your cats or your dogs, and no one is coming here from Africa or anywhere else for that matter, to steal your shitty minimum wage job. Mexico and Canada aren’t our enemies, and Russia and China are not our friends. Losing your Medicaid, your SNAP, and your healthcare plan isn’t “winning” and it sure as shit doesn’t “own the Libs”. The word “dumb” has always had a B in it, and the word “incumbent” has nothing to do with something you might have worn to your prom. Now, I know that facts are about as useful to you as a cousin-less dating pool, a sheep that’s not in the mood, and a book with no pictures, but that doesn’t make them any less true. You’re poorer, sicker and less safe than you were 2 years ago. Trump didn’t make America “great” again, he’s actively destroying it, while lining his own pockets, and the pockets of the Epstein class at the very same time. Now I know that he still hates who you hate, and maybe that really is enough, but the truth is that he lied to you about everything else. He lied about lowering prices, lied to you about no new foreign wars and lied about accountability for pedophiles. And I’m sure you stopped reading when you met the first word with more than two syllables, but in the event that you’re still here, all I want, all I ask, is that you sit this one out. If you’re not going to vote to stop him, then don’t vote at all. Stay home and brush your tooth. Let the grownups with still firing synapses handle this one. I think we can all agree that you’ve done more than enough.

Amen to that observation. Trump is cruel and is for some bizarre reason supporting Putin. 1. Allowing Russia to supply USA with diesel when any exporter would could. 2. Overruling a bipartisan Congressional vote to bar Russia from earning money from us 3. Considering more.

Thank you Howard for your support of the Ukrainian people. 😳✅💯
🇺🇦❤️ He could have spent billions on yachts, mansions, and a life of luxury. Instead, he chose to help Ukraine. His name is Howard Buffett. He is 71 years old and the son of legendary American billionaire Warren Buffett. Since Russia's full-scale invasion, his foundation has committed approximately $1.33 BILLION to helping Ukraine! And these aren't just numbers. Here's what that generosity means: 🍞 642 million meals funded for Ukrainians affected by the war. 🚜 823,000 hectares of farmland cultivated with support from his foundation, helping farmers whose equipment was destroyed by Russia. 🦾 $77 million for Superhumans, helping wounded Ukrainian soldiers and civilians receive prosthetics and rehabilitation. 💣 $167 million for demining, clearing Ukrainian land of deadly Russian explosives. 🏠 344,000 windows replaced in war-damaged buildings. 📚 $8.9 million to restore Kharkiv's Factor-Druk printing house after a Russian missile strike. And here's something even more remarkable: 🇺🇦 Howard Buffett has personally visited Ukraine 27 times! He visits devastated communities, meets farmers, and witnesses the consequences of Russia's war firsthand. In December 2023, his name was added to Kyiv's Walk of the Brave. But his greatest legacy isn't a monument. It's the lives saved, homes rebuilt, fields cultivated, and Ukrainians given hope again. ❤️ The world has plenty of wealthy people. Far fewer are willing to devote their wealth, time, and hearts to helping strangers thousands of miles away. Thank you, Howard Buffett. Ukraine will never forget your kindness. 🇺🇦🇺🇸 P.S.

Disgusting thug-like behavior. 😖
Whenever people wonder how nazi germany got to that point.. we’re watching it unfold in real time right in front of us in the USA now.. The ACLU of Oregon has filed a complaint with DHS over the video that shows an ICE agent stabbing the tires of a couple car in Hillsboro, Oregon on October 7. According to the complaint, the couple was filming agents in a grocery store, parking lot and alerting shoppers to ICE‘S presence. The ACLU says agents followed them out of the lot and slashed their tires in a retaliation for Recording.
