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.

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.

☝️ Meloni Put Trump in His Place Over Ukraine. Today, October 14, 2026, during a speech in the Italian Senate in Rome, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sharply criticized the U.S. agreement on Russian diesel fuel previously announced by Donald Trump. She warned that while Russian bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, Moscow could receive new revenues to finance its war. Easing sanctions pressure only plays into the Kremlin's hands, giving the aggressor additional resources to continue the bloodshed. "This is a decision that I consider very risky," Meloni declared. Moreover, the Italian prime minister made it absolutely clear that Rome has no intention of turning its back on Ukraine. Supporting Kyiv, increasing pressure on Moscow, and maintaining unity among Western allies remain fundamental principles of Italy's position. Peace cannot be built by making concessions to an aggressor that continues to kill Ukrainians. Every weakening of pressure on the Kremlin risks bringing more deaths and destruction to Ukraine.

When those who once called themselves friends turn their backs on him. When allies grow tired, politicians bargain, and some are ready to shake hands with the executioner. When his country is attacked every day by missiles, drones, bombs, and lies. I cannot imagine how this man has endured it all. Volodymyr Zelenskyy doesn't look like a movie hero. He looks like a man who hasn't slept in years. Exhausted, with the burning cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Odesa reflected in his eyes. The weight of an entire nation rests on his shoulders. He doesn't ask for pity. He asks for weapons. He doesn't run. He stays. When offered evacuation, he famously replied: "I need ammunition, not a ride." And he has stood by that choice for years. He has been betrayed, underestimated, insulted, and threatened. Yet he remains standing alongside his exhausted soldiers and a wounded but unbroken Ukraine, while much of the world grows tired of the war and looks away. Never in my life have I admired a public figure more. Not because he is perfect, but because when everything began collapsing around him, he didn't ask, "Why me?" He simply did his duty. He stands for human dignity, freedom, and democracy. Behind him stands an entire nation that refuses to surrender. One day, Ukrainians may elect another president. That is their right. But today, Zelenskyy deserves respect, gratitude, and support. Strength and endurance to you, President Zelenskyy. Ukraine still stands. And so do you. 🇺🇦

BREAKING: HELL YEAH! Trump gets NIGHTMARE news about his absurd "Triumphal Arch" as the Arlington County government unleashes a massive lawsuit to block its construction. And it gets even better... In their suit, the county's board asserts that the White House ignored a crucial review process in their deranged, rushed efforts to begin working on the President's vanity project. Since the proper process was not followed, construction should not be allowed to proceed. Specifically, the administration failed to properly evaluate the possible environmental impacts of the arch and such analysis is required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Arlington is accusing the MAGA-controlled National Park Service of performing nothing but a "cursory" and "truncated" review of the project. It should come as little surprise that this regime, as adversarial towards the environment as it is, would try to circumvent this key step. Unfortunately for them, the law is the law. The arch — one of several construction projects that Trump is desperately scrambling to erect in the hopes that he might fashion a semblance of a legacy for himself amidst the ashes of his failed presidency — is supposed to go up on an island in the Potomac River that is officially part of D.C., but sits just a few hundred meters from Arlington. The suit urges the court to block any demolition or construction until an “appropriate environmental review” is conducted. Hopefully, the judge sees the light of reason and grants Arlington this injunction. Once Democrats retake Congress in November, we'll have more power to throw up lasting roadblocks to this idiotic waste of tax dollars. Pop quiz: What "triumph" is Trump even hoping to commemorate? The Iran War is a historic, economy-crashing failure and his domestic policies have been just as bad. This man does not have a single real victory to his name and yet he wants to be remembered like Napoleon. Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it. Please ❤️ and share if you support this lawsuit!

ICE rip young children away from father—throw little boy down into the street. Boy barely avoids getting run over by car. "They're just kids!" witness yells. "She's holding a baby!" All in front of library playground. Agents so rough with kids—literally knock their shoes off. Incident occurred beside Library Park Playground in Harrison, New Jersey. Ms. Chi doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

BREAKING: TRAITOR! Trump betrays Ukraine in shocking fashion by agreeing to bring millions of tons of Russian diesel fuel to the global market — giving Putin money to drop bombs on innocent Ukrainians. This is beyond unthinkable... "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel," he continued. "Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!" Obviously, the U.S. doesn't have "total control" over the Strait or else this deal with Russia wouldn't be necessary. Trump is scrambling to get gas prices down ahead of the midterms because he knows that the American people rightly blame his pointless, illegal Iran War for the inflated prices they're paying at the pump. "Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority," Trump added. "This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP" It cannot be overstated just how massive of a betrayal this announcement is. The U.S. rightly banned imports of Russian diesel in 2022 under President Biden because of Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine. Those restrictions have deeply damaged the Russian economy, limiting Putin's ability to wage war and ensuring that Ukraine has a fighting chance to defend itself. Now, because of an oil crisis that he himself created, Trump is reversing Biden's policy to pump money directly into the Kremlin's pockets. That money will then go towards bullets, bombs, and drones to kill our Ukrainian allies. Congress must block this deal and more than that, they must impeach this President. There's a reason why they call this man Putin's puppet. Please ❤️ and share to demand that Congress block this diesel deal!
