A video recorded at a gas station in Lake Worth, Florida, shows an ICE/Border Patrol demanding ID from a U.S. citizen. When the citizen asks why, the agent responds, "Because you're an immigrant." Before even verifying his identity, fascists grab his hands and place him in handcuffs. Bystanders immediately step in to question how someone can be arrested without even being identified first, but the fascists ignore them and walk the man to their vehicle.

​This encounter highlights a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. Requiring someone to prove their citizenship before being handcuffed, based solely on an arbitrary claim, demonstrates a concerning violation of constitutional rights by a paramilitary acting without accountability.

On July 13, 2026, the Trump Administrationannounced that it would be cutting a cumulative 3.23 million acres from Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monument, reducing the former to a mere 181,500 acres and the latter to approximately 121,000 acres. Under theumbrella of "common sense land use," which aims to prioritize the resources on or beneath the land, over its cultural or natural significance, the White House wants to open these sacred sites to massive logging, mining, and of c...

Democratic Party chief Kim Min-seok launched a Grand Unity Task Force led by Rep. Park Beom-kye to pursue a progressive alliance and internal party reform.

what the West calls a democracy, Ukrainians call a nightmare.

And United24, the platform that Western celebrities have used to fundraise for Ukraine, was literally founded by Zelensky. People share its articles as though its news.

It’s not. It’s state propaganda, and they’re not even discreet about it.

That explains the wave of "Nord Publishing" United 24 bots that were ubiquitous on Lemmy a couple of months ago.

Ukraine is being used as a testing ground for NATO’s military-industrial ambitions, its forces deployed to generate combat experience with drones and tactics that can then be shared with other NATO members. This is, in the clearest possible terms, a proxy war, and the proxy is being destroyed.

And these tactics will be turned upon the West's own children and elderly, to press them into conscription for Western business interests, like they have Ukraine's children and elderly.

Of course, if you define Ukraine as its puppet government, controlled by NATO and kept in place by the same Western powers that benefit from every day this war continues, then yes, they want to keep fighting. It is not their children being sent to die. Zelensky’s children live safely outside Ukraine, as do the children of the vast majority of the Rada. The West is determined to fight Russia until the last Ukrainian. And the Ukrainian people, the real Ukraine, the only Ukraine that matters, have made clear that they are no longer willing to be the last Ukrainian.
