Defiant to the end, in his left hand he holds a stick which he throws at the drone before it shoots him.
A screenshot of a quote tweet from an account called The People's Sweetie @WiseTenderSnob. They write: Prior to 1996, deportation was only mandatory for crimes with a 5+ year sentence. Then President Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, creating mandatory deportation for misdemeanors like shoplifting. The quoted tweet is from Bill Clinton @BillClinton, who's tweet reads, in the part visible: On this Father's Day I'm thinking of the thousands of children separated from their parents at the border. These children should not be a negotiating tool. And reuniting them with their families would reaffirm America's...

A passage from Franz Fannon's 1961 book The Wretched of the Earth: "Of course if we choose to use a language comprehensible only to law and economics graduates it will be easy to prove that the masses need to have their life run for them. But if we speak in plain language, if we are not obsessed with a perverse determination to confuse the issues and exclude the people, then it will be clear that the masses comprehend all the finer points and every artifice. Resorting to technical language means you are determined to treat the masses as uni- nitiated. Such language is a poor front for the lecturer's intent to deceive the people and leave them on the sidelines. Langua- ge's endeavor to confuse is a mask behind which looms an even greater undertaking to dispossess. The intention is to strip the people of their possessions as well as their sovereignty. You can explain anything to the people provided you really want them to understand. And if you think they can be dispensed with, that on the contrary they would be more of a nuisance to the smooth running of the many private and limited companies whose aim is to push them further into misery, then there is no more to be said."
Statement from Track AIPAC, dated April 27, 2026: We’ve heard the feedback. Some of our recent work incorporating tracked contributions created confusion and, at times, muddied the waters. That’s not the goal. The goal is clarity and accountability. For the immediate future, we are reverting to our V2 methodology, which focuses on clear, direct attribution of lobby spending via PACs and IEs, as we continue to build out our capacity, identify and eliminate bugs in the process, and refine how we report donor influence for clarity. At the same time, we stand firmly by the principle behind that work. As AIPAC and the broader Israeli foreign interest lobby evolve how they fund candidates, it is more important than ever to track total lobby influence and follow the money wherever it goes. As we expand our capacity, we are working toward making this data publicly available through a searchable database so voters, journalists, and researchers can review and verify the information themselves. Our approach will continue to evolve to adapt to the changing tactics of the lobby's key players, but our mission does not change. Voters deserve a clear and honest understanding of who is funding their elected officials and why.

This quote is an excerpt from Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), a landmark pamphlet published in 1896 by Theodor Herzl, the father of modern political Zionism: It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not wish to bring about the impoverishment of the countries that we leave. At first they must not be given large fees for this; otherwise we shall spoil our instruments and make them despicable as "stooges of the Jews." Later their fees will increase, and in the end we shall have only Gentile officials in the countries from which we have emigrated. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti- Semitic countries our allies. We want to emigrate as respected people.
