sToRyTiiMe!!! Ok... so my mom got her hair cut yesterday and one of the customers asked my mom what she was doing for the 4th of July and my mom was pretty direct in saying she has no patriotism for a racist nation that locks up immigrants including children in cages.

Most of the salon agreed with her but this one racist bitch said “trump would never let those things happen!!!” (i.e. the abuse in the detention centers or just their very existence) and that my mom is just ~an angry liberal~ who doesn’t see how great trump is. this woman even went as far as telling my mom that the “holocaust didn’t even happen” and that’s when all hell broke loose. My mom started to fighting with her, cursing, and pretty much verbally humiliating her for her abhorrent views until this fascist left her appointment early.

Just because some of these people ~look~ like nice housewives doesn’t mean they aren’t fascists and just because they aren’t adorning an SS uniform’s and/or a klan hoods doesn’t exclude them from actively being white supremacists. I also just wanted to share this authentically ~m’erican~ story with you on this 4th of July as a reminder of how fucked this nation is.

seeing folks joke ironically about the US being in a state of emergency due to various potential threats [war, bombs, natural disasters, lack of healthcare, etc] is only funny when you think of the US as solely populated by the evil bourgeoisie who’ve caused all of this — but in actuality, they are only a powerful fraction who will stop at nothing to protect themselves and others like them

so you probably won’t get to see any of them dying as you would hope, however you will see a large number of brown and black babies, women, and men dead on the street just like everywhere else

For those who aren’t aware, about 1500 Palestinian prisoners have been on a mass hunger strike since April 17, dubbed “the battle of empty stomachs”. Their primary demands include more frequent and lengthy family visits, better prison conditions such as improved medical care, and an end to administrative detention (detention without charge or trial) and solitary confinement –in other words, basic rights. According to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, no serious negotiations have taken place yet, and as of May 6, the hunger strikers released a statement in which they warned of the threat of forced feeding, a crime against the prisoners with the intention of murder. As the prisoners are approaching their 22nd day of strike, they are entering a very critical stage as risks to health increase sharply after 20 days.

I’m so happy over these Comey/Russia/Trump leaks!!! omg watching the news has been so much fun this week! In my gut, I firmly believe the Trump, Pence, Sessions, his entire cabinet and campaign team will be implicated. I’m expecting that there is corruption and collusion even with the top GOP leaders such as Ryan, McConell and Preibus! My wet dreams include Trump and Steve Bannon with their hands behind their backs, shackled in cuffs and heads bow down as they are convicted of treason.
