The Arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka: A Dangerous Precedent

On May 9, 2025, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, a private prison operated by GEO Group. Baraka attempted to join a congressional delegation’s tour to inspect conditions at the facility, which reopened under a controversial $1 billion, 15-year contract with ICE. Federal authorities claimed Baraka ignored warnings to leave, charging him with misdemeanor trespassing. Baraka, however, maintains he …

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Networks must be more cautious when reporting Trump’s so-called “deals.” His announcements often follow a familiar, deceptive pattern: declare a major breakthrough, only for the details to later reveal that nothing has actually changed. In the meantime, he gets the headlines he wants, the press amplifies the illusion, and the markets react based on fiction—not fact.

The Normalization of Donald Trump: It’s Only Getting More Brazen

Since I published The Normalization of Donald Trump on April 22, 2025, the normalization of behaviors that would have been unthinkable in past administrations has only accelerated:

Laura Loomer has blasted Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million jet from Qatar, and I for one think it’s unforgivable that Trump has made me agree with Laura Loomer

I have zero faith that even if elected - which at this point is a huge doubt in my mind - Trump will do anything about the travesty we are living with on a daily basis. We are on our own.

Darkstar's avatar

It's very possible that Trump will not look into the pandemic if elected. If he honestly wants things better,the pandemic scandal is way down.on the list. We have two nuclear wars brewing and an internal war brewing as well.

Not to mention firing anyone and everyone that opposed Epstine's list from being published.

Will he do it?

Epstein? There are way bigger things , issues than Epstein.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Epstein funded virologist Nathan Wolfe, a business partner of Hunter Biden, and the Russians have alleged that Wolfe created SARS-CoV-2. Who was Epstein working for. Even if you don't want or think it's important for the public to know which prominent Americans and others were f*cking kids, Epstein's role in SARS-CoV-2 needs to be understood.

Darkstar's avatar

The people' Epstine had for clients were not all simply perverts. Children were murdered there,and we need to know all that were responsible. Blackmailing perverts has no power under this regime. Murder does. So when we see all these people in congress voting against the will of the people, they may have a child's death in the hiding.
