There are about 22,000 ICE officers vs 85 million mothers in America who want to survive a traffic stop to spend another day with their children. JD Vance has picked a side.
I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire administration stands behind them. To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we're going to work even harder to enforce the law.

Every human on the planet has ancient African ancestors, it is, after all, the continent on which H. sapiens evolved & diverged from apes, before migrating round the 🌍. Dark skin is also the ancestral human trait, light skin evolved in Europe & Asia... ✨ https://t.co/lBanDiB1hh

Experience the awe of standing at Point of Human Origins. Visit world renowned archaeological site with early evidence for modern human behaviour. Mossel Bay, South Africa. Our tour is a dual journey...
I can list my ancestors from my father, to his father, to his father before him, backwards for at least ten generations, all of whom lived in South Africa. Can you do the same? I am home.

A Warning from History. A year after WW1 ended, A French Pilot, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, flew an Airship from the Belgian coast to the devastated battlefields of France where millions died. Lost for decades this is part of what he saw remastered in color and HD.

Alternatively, you can read up on the upsides of collectivist cultures. They typically get more done, equitably/fairly, for more people. Try the Nordic Model as well, a fabulously imperfect example of social democracy at its best... ✨ @ZohranKMamdani

If you’re looking for a great read about the “warmth of collectivism” I would recommend the Gulag Archipelago. No better way to experience the warmth of collectivism than 20 years in a Siberian labor camp watching everyone around you die.

The order came from Buthelezi, not from Mandela, though both Mandela & Mbeki were consulted. No pots, or kettles were called, however, regional SADC agreement was sought first. You can gem up on 🇿🇦'n history here... ✨ https://t.co/BxUaDlOKdU

Note that in 1998, Mandela ordered South African troops to invade Lesotho (its weak landlocked neighbour) following disputed elections. Pot. Kettle. Black.

No, we hold negative views of genocide and war crimes, that happen to be committed by government(s), through various security forces. And that same attitude is applied to other countries who/that indiscriminately kill and traumatise children & civilians... ✨ Thank you @KelRo736
46% of the world’s adults hold negative views of a people who make up just 0.2% of humanity. That isn’t prejudice. That’s depraved programming. Nearly half the planet has been trained to hate the people of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Civilisation should take a long, hard look in

@JackMillerCPT @alanwinde @philcraig2 And why @UKinsouthafrica & @EUinSA are quiet (ie not stepping up to repatriate their disaffected kin) is a disappointment, to say the least. 🇿🇦 Has had more than enough of 'colonists' & their me, myself & I ideals to last several lifetimes... Enough is enough. cc @AmbPeschke ✨

'Cape Independence' neither upholds, defends, or respects the Constitution, as the supreme law of the Republic; nor does it promote the unity of the nation & that which will advance the Republic... And quite honestly @JackMillerCPT @alanwinde @philcraig2 - you all know this... ✨

Chapter 5 (ss 83-102) of 🇿🇦's Constitution requires that @CyrilRamaphosa as President MUST Uphold, defend & respect the Constitution as the SUPREME law of the Republic; and Promote the UNITY of the nation and that which will ADVANCE the Republic... ✨ @SpokespersonRSA @ConCourtSA
Cape Independence, or at least a referendum on it, is coming whether Ramaphosa supports it or not. https://t.co/0s8te2cz1E Secession is not determined by any president or political party, it is determined by local law, international law and the basic principles of democracy.

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time). It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy. https://t.co/I1bEKNid57
