I won't share the horrifying video, but Austin police killed a 17-year-old Black child who called 911 while in distress. Three cops fired more than two dozen rounds, killing him because they thought he had a gun.
It was a water bottle. The child was unarmed.
Austin PD is calling it "suicide by cop." No, it's murder in cold blood by cop. We must fund public safety, not just hire more cops. A mental health professional could have saved his life. The cops have been placed on administrative leave.

2026-06-22 20:21:30 GMT

Shocker. MAGAs don’t know what words mean, in this case, the word Feminism. In other news. Water is wet.

Today we learned a 36-year-old white Texan man was caught in Bogota Colombia raping an adopted 7-year-old boy in broad daylight. Cops entered his apartment & also rescued 4-year-old & 15-year-old rape victims.
Trump pushed the racist lie that Mexico is sending “rapists” to the USA. In reality—77.1% of CSAM distributors & 75.2% of CSAM producers are White. Not immigrants. Not Black or brown people. Not drag queens. White men—like Trump in the Epstein files. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

2026-06-04 17:06:24 GMT

Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims.
Let me be clear, any politician running for President in 2028 who does not champion universal healthcare is automatically a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell with your ill gotten wealth.

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."
Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.
This is MAGA's vision for the USA. Full story by Let’s Address This State Director Saadia Mirza: https://letsaddresstexas.substack.com/p/ken-paxtons-office-offered-a-child

Trump would rather release fake evidence of UFOs than real unredacted Epstein Files.
He’d rather spend billions to eliminate Iran over an imagined nuclear program than spend a fraction of that to eliminate poverty here at home.
He’d rather prosecute Comey over a made up threat while pardoning 1600 violent convicted insurrectionists.
Fascists will spare no expense to avoid accountability and advance autocracy.

2026-05-04 15:50:28 GMT

BREAKING: In a rare win, SCOTUS grants a stay of the 5th Circuit ruling which banned mailing Mifepristone. Therefore, mail delivery can restart (for now).
Here's an idea—healthcare decisions should be left to medical experts, not to unelected bureaucrats. It would be medical malpractice for me, a lawyer, to prescribe or restrict medication. Why is it okay for a judge to prescribe or restrict medication that a physician deems is necessary? Just absurd.

2026-04-30 15:28:45 GMT

BREAKING: Global Sumud Flotilla reports that last night Israeli naval forces intercepted, boarded, and disabled and destroyed various boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla in a violent raid in international waters.
They attacked 180 civilians, illegally detained and kidnapped several participants, jammed communications, and smashed an engine, leaving civilians stranded on powerless vessels.
These are international crimes. The sustained Global silence from world leaders is indefensible.

2026-04-28 23:47:35 GMT

Today, former US Border Patrol Fascist in Chief Greg Bovino agreed with a white nationalist as she demonized immigrants and added, "This country was built by settlers, not immigrants."
Is it any wonder that 97.4% of the people his fascist ICE goons rounded up had no criminal record? Is it any wonder more than 90% are Latino?
This is what institutional white supremacy looks like. You don’t reform this. You abolish it. Abolish ICE.

2026-04-16 16:24:41 GMT

Despite Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, these 7 Democratic Senators voted AGAINST a resolution to block sale of weapons to Israel:
🔵Richard Blumenthal (CT)
🔵Chris Coons (DE)
🔵Catherine Cortez-Masto (NV)
🔵John Fetterman (PA)
🔵Kristen Gillibrand (NY)
🔵Jacky Rosen (NV)
🔵Chuck Schumer (NY)
Vote these 7 fascists out permanently. Senate rejected the vote 59-40. But a record 40 Democratic Senators voted to block the sale. Change is coming. https://youtube.com/shorts/6x7FvMi02E0?si=Vi0gR9SEcQXABvKN

2026-04-08 17:54:47 GMT

BREAKING: After the ceasefire, Israel today bombed Lebanon and killed another 100 people. Citing the breach Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz.
A reminder that Israel has broken the Gaza ceasefire hundreds of times with impunity and without consequence. And now they breach this ceasefire.
If any other nation invaded a sovereign nation and killed hundreds of civilians the USA would condemn it. But with Israel they defend it. This isn’t justice. This is literally how world wars begin.

2026-04-08 10:27:06 GMT

So the Dem tent can apparently include people who:
•Mock DV survivors
•Use the N word
•Fund and then deny genocide
•Demonize Muslims
•Oppose abortion access
•Deny climate change
•Dehumanize LGBTQ people
•Support the war in Iran
•Oppose voting rights
•Support killing civilians in war
But the line is: a Muslim who opposes Israeli government policy and says so loudly. The hypocrisy is disgusting, dangerous, and destructive.

Iran Deal By Obama:
•Strait of Hormuz open for free
•Iran limits Uranium enrichment
•Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons
•Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance
•Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance
Iran Ceasefire By Trump:
•Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship
•Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment
•Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons
•Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors
MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

2026-04-05 03:40:48 GMT

BREAKING: Crime reports are out for Q1 2026 New York City. Contrary to propaganda that crime would rise, NYC under Mayor Mamdani records fewest shootings & murders IN HISTORY!
• Major Crime: ⬇️ 5.3%
• Robbery: ⬇️ 8%
• Burglaries: ⬇️ 20.6%
• Murders: ⬇️ 28%
And he’s done this while being unapologetically pro working people, anti genocide, & pro justice. His approval rating rose from +38 to +48. Corporate Democrats would be wise to learn from him…if they weren’t so addicted to centrism and losing.

MAGA: We Protect Children!
So, child tax credit to prevent child poverty from spiking 30%?
MAGA: Nope
Gun safety laws because guns are the leading cause of death for American kids?
MAGA: Nope
Stop arming Isreal because they've killed dthousands of Palestinian, Iranian, & Lebanese kids?
MAGA: Nope
Release the Epstein Files because children were systemically raped?
MAGA: Nope
Then HOW do you protect children?
MAGA: We heard of 7 trans student athletes so we elected a fascist to stop them!

2026-04-03 19:38:01 GMT

Literally the day after Marco Rubio scolded Iran for spending money to fight wars instead of on things Iranians need, Donald Trump told everyone we can’t spend money on things we need because we are fighting wars
Adjusting for GDP, USA’s war budget is ~3X Iran’s and Iran’s literacy rate is 10% higher. In 1 month, USA has spent 7X Iran’s annual defense budget.😐

2026-04-03 13:26:14 GMT

Why did people despise Apartheid South Africa? Because the Western backed government:
•Annually killed hundreds of Indigenous with impunity, including children
•Annually took at least 10K+ hostages, including 1000+ children
•Stole Indigenous land and built hundreds of thousands of illegal homes
•Enforced separate facilities for the "racially inferior" Indigenous
And guess what?
Israel does ALL OF THE ABOVE, and now also passed a law that kills Palestinians only by hanging. Israel Is Apartheid.

2026-04-02 23:07:05 GMT

Trump claims the USA cannot afford childcare and healthcare because we have to spend money on war.
This is how nations collapse. Also Trump is lying. Here are the receipts.

2026-04-02 20:51:01 GMT

Greg Bovino: FIRED
Kristi Noem: FIRED
Pam Bondi: FIRED
To recap:
•Each were wholly incompetent.
•Each committed or enabled gotesque crimes and human rights violations.
•Each should face prosecution for their open corruption.
•Each prove Trump never cared about meritocracy—only about sycophants who obey him.
Unfortunately for them, “I was just following orders” is not a valid defense.

2026-04-01 18:36:14 GMT

Just so we're clear -- the law Israel just passed mandating death by hanging for Palestinians is apartheid.
It. Is. Apartheid.
Israel does not punish Israelis who kill Palestinians. Instead, Israel has illegally detained more than 10,000 Palestinians, including 1000 children, without charge or conviction. These are hostages held without access to counsel in concentration camps.
This. Is. Apartheid. Any politician or journalist who cannot acknowledge that is complicit. Period.

2026-03-31 16:42:01 GMT

Once again, Green card holders are immigrants who did EVERYTHING by the book. They followed every law, every rule, every requirement. THEY EVEN PAY TAXES THAT GO TO FUND THE SBA! And the Trump regime is banning them from benefitting from taxes they paid. "Come here legally" was a lie. It was never about "legal" immigration. It was always about advancing white nationalism and banning immigration altogether. This will hurt ALL Americans. Systemic racism always does.

If Corporate Democrats fought the literal President and guy with nuclear codes who is currently funding genocide in Gaza, invading Iran, & gutting our democracy even 1/10th as hard as they fight the Twitch streamer who says these things are evil, actually—we might have a semblance of an opposition party.
As is, Republicans who have supported Trump for a decade and continue to do so get a pass—but candidates who campaign with Piker are condemned without exception. It Is Absurd.

2026-03-30 20:31:53 GMT

BREAKING: Israel's parliament has approved the death penalty BY HANGING as the default for Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis
Meanwhile, multiple human rights orgs including Israeli orgs like B'TSalem confirm that Israelis kill Palestinians with impunity and face no accountabilty.
This is what apartheid looks like and shame on anyone gaslighting otherwise

Right-wing outlet The Free Press, founded by CBS’ Bari Weiss, is pushing disinformation about Chicago’s violence intervention programs—while ignoring widespread police misconduct that has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions.
They demand accountability from community programs but stay silent on police corruption.

BREAKING: New Mexico jury finds Facebook, Instagram, & Whatsapp harm childrens’ mental health—orders Meta to pay a $375M penalty.
•$375M is .023% of Meta’s $1.6T net worth
•That’s like the median American being fined $14.37
•And in 2025 Meta paid only 3.5% tax on a record $79B US income
Horrid. Immoral. Criminal. American.
Shocked that Meta, which enabled the Rohingya genocide and faced no repercussions, is also harming the mental health of our children, and faces no repercussions. 😐 Smh.

2026-03-24 00:13:30 GMT

Researchers at the non-profit org called Pregnancy Justice report that in the last two years authorities have arrested at least 412 women for suffering miscarriages due to bans on abortion.
The same people championing abortion bans and prosecution of American women for miscarriages also claim bombing Iran liberates Iranian women.
Make no mistake: Whether in the USA or Iran, they were never about liberating women—but about controlling them with force and violence.

2026-03-22 01:31:40 GMT

To those upset about bombing Iran: You’re upset about bombing a nation who refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, is hiding 200-400 nukes, blocks UN inspectors, & hides their nuclear facility behind human shields in a residential area?
You’re upset about taking out such a threat?
Ok—well everything stated above is true of Israel—not Iran. Remember that as you hear faux outrage about Iran defending itself from Israel’s illegal attack by targeting Israel’s illegal nuclear program.

AIPAC is gloating about "stopping progressives in IL" and claiming its proof that "being pro Israel is good policy and good politics"
But that's a lie. And AIPAC knows its a lie.
AIPAC spent $22M on Illinois primary elections without EVEN ONCE mentioning Israel or AIPAC. Instead they ran as "Elect Chicago Women" or "Progressive Caucus Chicago" because they know just how toxic AIPAC and Israel are. They are not "good politics."
Don't fall for AIPAC propaganda. They are losing and know it.

The ones who claim Iran had imminent nuclear weapons are silent on Iran’s full compliance with Iran nuclear deal & silent on Israel’s 200+ nukes in violation of every international law
This war is not about justice. It’s a modern day crusade by Christian nationalists & fascists

They were children. In school. And now they’re dead because of Trump & Netanyahu.

2026-03-01 05:38:33 GMT

All yall defending the Iranian regime seem to forget that their nationalist police murder 2000 people a year, the regime kills 70,000 people a year by denying them the basic medicine they need to live, this year their supreme leader cut aid to hungry civilians and killed 600,000 innocent people, and since 2001 they’ve waged imperialist wars that have killed 4.6 Million people
How Do You Defend That?!?
Ahhh my bad. I just described the United States Govt and the number of people it’s killed.😐

2026-02-28 17:06:20 GMT

To Zionists and MAGAs cheering on this illegal war on Iran—remember 2 things:
1. Trump said American soldiers will likely die in this war
2. Yair Netanyahu, the son of Benjamin Netanyahu, and Barron Trump, the son of Donald Trump, are drinking beers on a beach. When Trump says “soldiers will die”—he’s talking about Your children, not his children.
You’re sending Your own children to die in an illegal war so two corrupt politicians can stay out of prison for their crimes against humanity. SMH

Every time injustice rears its head in this country, I hear the same refrain: “I don’t recognize this America.”
February 19 reminds us otherwise. In 1923, the Supreme Court denied citizenship to Bhagat Singh Thind because he was brown, not white. In 1942, Japanese Americans were forced into concentration camps because of their heritage.
These are not anomalies. They are the result of a nation built on laws that have long prioritized whiteness at the expense of justice.

For example:
•Where was he radicalized?
•Why is their culture so violent?
•Is this what they call "honor killing?"
•Why won't they assimilate to our values?
•What radicalism are they teaching in their churches?
•Was he here legally from Europe or was he an illegal?
•Did you know they cite their Bible to command women to be silent?

Dystopia notwithstanding, Ring's commercial about using their surveillance to find lost pets makes no sense.
They say 10M pets are lost per year & their service finds "more than 1 dog per day." So let's even say generously 500 dogs per year.
Out of 10M lost pets, they want Americans to commit privacy suicide for a .005% success rate???
"We fail 99.995% of the time! Let us violate your privacy!" is a helluva way to burn $10M in ads and destroy your brand.
I'm uninstalling my RING today.

Interviewed on Al Jazeera today about ICE killing Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and made it a point to speak the names of all 9 people ICE has killed so far in 2026. Including Keith Porter, Parady La, Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.
We need unity of humanity against fascism and autocracy.
Will share the interview when it goes live.

2026-01-23 14:39:49 GMT

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. More money for more ICE training results in more trained killers.
The problem with fascists isn't that they're poorly trained, it's that they're fascists. You don't train fascists, you abolish them. Abolish ICE.

2026-01-15 16:39:57 GMT

Corporate Dems like Schumer & Booker are pushing "strongly worded statements" demanding ICE "needs more training."
They're missing the point. The problem with badly trained Nazis is not that they're badly trained—it's that they're Nazis!
You don't train Nazis. You abolish them. ABOLISH ICE. NOW!

To become an ICE fascist licensed to kidnap & kill innocent people you can drop out of high school, turn 18, and take a 47 day training.
This is what “meritocracy” looks like to fascists. 😐

Craziest thing about Donald Trump illegally bombing Venezuela, kidnapping Maduro & his wife, stealing Venezuelan oil, threatening to invade Cuba & Greenland, propaganda claims against Somalis, ICE fascists killing a U.S. Citizen in MN & shooting two more in OR—is that there are still ~5.2 million missing Epstein Files that Trump is hiding to protect himself & his fellow abusers—all while DOJ missed the release deadline in violation of a court order.😐

On fraud, the truth is basically the opposite of whatever MAGAs claim
MAGA: Trump did NOT commit fraud
JURY: 34X felony fraud convictions
MAGA: The 2020 election WAS fraud
COURTS: 62 rulings affirm NO fraud
MAGA: Somalis commit all the fraud
FACT: Fraud ring leader is a white woman named Aimee Bock
MAGA: We detest all fraud!
TRUMP: Pardons dozens of white people convicted of billions in fraud—total silence from MAGAs
FACT: Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

Trump’s fascism is targeting white Americans who oppose him.
It started by targeting Black and brown people, and now it will aggressively target white people who stand in solidarity with Black and brown people.

Disagreement is not the enemy of democracy; it is its lifeblood. But for disagreement to matter, it must be grounded in evidence, integrity, & a shared commitment to our humanity.
The truth is, it’s getting increasingly difficult to have meaningful dialogue on human rights.

Hegseth punishing Senator Mark Kelly for Kelly's "crime" of reminding servicemembers that they are bound by the UCMJ and Constitution—and thus must refuse to act on any and all illegal orders—is more clear cut evidence that Trump and Hegseth know they're issuing illegal orders and will not tolerate dissension. This isn't free speech or freedom, it's fear and fascism. It will get worse because Republicans won't grow a spine and stop Trump.

Regime change in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban resulted in the return of the Taliban
Regime change in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of Daesh (ISIS)
Regime change in Libya to remove Ghadaffi resulted in chaos and a decade plus of civil war

Violent regime change does not work. It never has. Because it is driven by oil and profit, not people and principles.

Trump has vetoed his first 2 bills of this term—bipartisan bills to make it easier to build a water pipeline in Colorado and give a Native American tribe more control over a portion of the Everglades.
His insane reasoning? He's vetoing a bill to help NATIVE AMERICANS because they don't support his immigration policies.
They are INDIGENOUS to this land, and Trump is banning them from basic human rights like water, because of immigration.
I don't have the words to express how insane this is.

And by the way—even if 100% of the people ICE kidnapped had violent criminal records, THEY ARE STILL ENTITLED TO DUE PROCESS OF LAW. They are still entitled to humane treatment in prison.
US tax dollars are funding a literal concentration camp. Corporate media is censoring it.
This. Is. Fascism.

ICE data confirms:
- Only 3.1% of people sent to CECOT have a violent criminal record
- Only 3.4% of people they arrested in Chicago have a violent criminal record
- More than 75K people they've arrested have no violent criminal record
- Nearly 100% are Latino
This is not due process. This Is Fascism.

After killing the CECOT story in the USA, CBS goofed and aired it in Canada. Last night, as Canadians were uploading it to YouTube, CBS was filing copyright violations to block its further release.
But it's too late. Under Bari Weiss, CBS is state run media desperately cosplaying as legitimate journalism.

Last night we learned that under the ‘leadership’ of Bari Weiss, CBS killed the CECOT story that was supposed to air on 60 Minutes despite five internal reviews, fact checks, and approvals. Why?
Because the Trump regime refused to grant an interview to be included in the report. This is what state run media looks like, and it is putting us all in danger.

Bari Weiss says she killed the CBS CECOT story because it "didn't have the Trump regime's comment or perspective."
1. This is a lie. The Trump regime has publicy commented on supporting CECOT numerous times.
2. The Trump regime refusing to comment for this particular story is their choice. They're not a victim to be catered to.
3. Refusing to air a story because it could be damaging to the administration makes you state media. That's what CBS is now. State Run Media.

From 1990 to 2017 there were ~290 people denaturalized from citizenship after extensive due process proved they'd broken immigration law.
In 2026 the Trump regime plans to denaturalize up to 2500 people.
You can bet he will almost exclusively target Black and brown people. And you can bet he will target dissenters and critics. Because as his own chief of staff admits—Trump is not driven by justice. He is a vindictive, revenge filled petty little man doing his best to build a white ethno state.

We need to sound the alarm 🚨. Today, the House of Representatives passed a barbaric piece of legislation that would subject migrant children to invasive bodily searches, keep them in prison, and refuse to let them be released to their families.
It’s disgusting that corporate media is not talking about how this will result in further systemic abuse of migrant children.

ProPublica reports a dystopian horror. Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program was forced to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Innocent people literally got a stamp on a card at random to let them know if they would live or if they would starve to death. Not because the world lacks resources—but because its stricken with greed.
All this blood is on the hands of Trump, Musk, & feckless Republicans.
