Trump sneaking Guatemala children

Kyiv mourns its smallest angel Yesterday the city says goodbye to 2-year-old Anhelina and her mother, Nadiia, killed in the Russian attack on August 28. A child who never had the chance to grow up. A mother who will never again hold her daughter.👇
A plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land in Bulgaria using paper maps after suspected Russian GPS jamming disabled all navigation systems at Plovdiv Airport, Financial Times reports. The aircraft circled for an hour before landing manually.
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
Trump posted this on Truth Social. Did he forget who is running our country?
Last week marked a shift. Is it because governors from blue states, CDC staff, and Lisa Cook spoke out against the Trump regime? His rumored death drew mockery. Momentum is building, but we must keep fighting: rally, speak out, call your MoC, volunteer, and defend our freedoms because it’s working!

Dems had a great turnout in Point Pleasant this morning & the Ocean County Visibility Brigade was there! It’s go time New Jersey! We can address affordability, keep our National Guard home & overcome any challenge the 47 regime throws at us. Find a brigade near you @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social
Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. We’ve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!

This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
Post credit @annaforflorida.bsky.social New laminated paper signs have been installed. People are still chalking. The State of Florida is wasting so much public money and time on this! 🤦🏼♀️
Streets need to burn and heads need to roll, they won't be satisfied with any other outcome because it would "prove them right" Their goal is to eradicate all points of cultural pride and human expression until they break you and make you violent
Dangit. They just repainted it last year: www.sshca.org/post/a-fresh...
They want to eliminate all LGBT people and culture, and they'll destroy all art to do it Sorry for the Threads link, but this is a good read from Robin Haines Merrill, a Christian minister whose award-winning art is scheduled to be destroyed www.threads.com/@sister_robi...
The people who ordered this...crush them to dust.
The state of Florida wasted more than $200 million on 'Alligator Alcatraz' stunt: jasongarcia.substack.com/p/the-state-...
www.wusf.org/politics-iss... They are covering up rainbows honoring #LGBTQ+ people who were murdered. Now they are covering murals honoring #BlackLivesMatter. Florida is one very HATEFUL state!
A #Florida man colored the bottom of his shoes with chalk and walked across what had been the Pride crosswalk at the Pulse memorial before DOT painted it out. FHP arrested him, but a judge looked at the case & turned him loose. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/31/m... via @orlandosentinel.com
UPDATE: Judge blocks mass transfer of estimated 600 immigrant children from US to Guatemala amid dispute over whether parents have sought their return. DOJ lawyer calls suit 'outrageous' interference, but judge suggests holiday timing of flights is suspicious www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
🚨🚨🚨 This video is just over an hour old now. The judge’s order to halt of the deportation of 600 children to Guatemala was upheld - for now! The person who made this video was threatened. Details on the following post.

We’re gonna have this entire damn city covered in The Peoples’ Benches. If our local government won’t, we will. WE want you to stay. WE want you to have a place to sit. WE take care of each other ❤️
Meta is an unethical company run by Peter Thiel’s techno-fascist billionaire protégé—Mark Zuckerberg—and is part of the Trump regime’s surveillance state. It’s time to leave Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp—and while you’re at it, drop Amazon, Google, and OpenAI as well. Learn how in this thread:

Russia launched a massive drone attack on the Odesa Oblast. The city of Chornomorsk & its surroundings suffered the most. The energy infrastructure was damaged & more than 29 thousand are without electricity. Critical infrastructure is currently operating on generators.

RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?
Go Get ‘Em Murkowski a la Chuck Schumer: “The removal of the Director after such a short tenure appears to be evidence that politics are taking precedent over policy.”
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
Ralph Norman wants to be the next SC governor, but he does not care if US citizens are "accidentally" detained by ICE. This disqualifies him as a leader of anything, anytime, anywhere. #scpol

We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
Incredibly concerning and more so each day wapo.st/4myP0HW
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

Trump’s coup runs on fear—chained votes, stolen seats, silenced voices. But from TX to CA to NY, rebellion is breaking those chains. Mississippi proves we can win. The question isn’t IF we resist—it’s HOW hard we fight. 🔥 social.demcast.com/s/LkQcAVIh

For those unaware: RFK Jr has been spreading anti-vaccine lies for over 20 years. This is not new. This is not “since COVID.” He wrote a 2005 article in Rolling Stone blaming vaccine ingredients for autism. Be aware of this history. He is a millionaire because of the disinformation HE created.
Speaking of “super wealthy kook” Thiel, his former CEO to the Thiel Foundation and co founder to the Thiel fellowship, is now top Deputy to RFK Jr at the CDC. He has zero medical education or experience. We are in Mad Hattersville

Google: we are a multi-billion dollar company, employing some of the brightest minds in the technology world. Also Google: when you create a child profile on YouTube Kids, there’ll be a scroll wheel which will let you select an age of your child up to 115 years old.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
🧊🖕🪖 TERRORIZING KIDS 😲 Schoolkids in DC ride free on Metro, and a lot of them use this benefit to commute to school. They're talking about the soldiers they're seeing at the stations, and the rumor is that if you so much as eat a snack on the train, they will grab you and deport you. ✊ FREE DC!

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Russia will not get back its frozen assets in Europe unless it pays reparations to Ukraine. Politico earlier reported the EU is preparing to finalize plans to transfer about €200B into a fund for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
JD Vance went the WRONG WAY down a one-way street to avoid protesters in Wisconsin. It didn't work out so well. The people will NOT be deterred.
Trump just canceled $4.9B in U.S. international aid using a “pocket rescission” that bypasses Congress. Lawmakers warn it’s unconstitutional and risks a shutdown.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
It’s a sick sad world out there. 🙄🫣
