@awkword.bsky.social PinnedIn the last year, ICE has deported nearly half a million people. Killed dozens. Disappeared tens of thousands. And it's only the beginning. Unless we stop it.

@dcminx.bsky.socialReposted by @awkword.bsky.social🚨 An alarming breakdown of Pete Hegseth's rhetoric, which frames the military as moral crusaders superior to 99% of Americans while labeling media and intellectuals as traitors. The goal? A military isolated from society, recruited strictly from conservative colleges.

@rhutabhayga.bsky.socialReposted by @awkword.bsky.socialAmericans pay billions to for-profit prison companies to incarcerate people.

That’s a profound conflict of interest.

@cwebbonline.comReposted by @awkword.bsky.socialTrump is spending the final stretch campaigning in states he won by double digits because people in every single one of these states know the affordability crisis is not a hoax.
They know healthcare cuts to give billionaires a tax cut don’t help them fill the gas tank.

🧵 Nov. 11, 1909, Cairo, Illinois was the site of one of the most violent lynchings in American history. A mob not only lynched William James—a White man was lynched as well.
Yep. A double lynching.
