This week’s historic verdicts on social media trials in New Mexico and Los Angeles send a clear message: Congress must act now to protect children from sexual exploitation online. These rulings highlight a broader need for industry-wide protections across all platforms and apps – which is why the passage of the STOP CSAM Act is critical. If you agree, join IJM’s 2026 Advocacy Summit this June to advocate for online child safety: advocacysummit.ijm.org Can’t be with us in person? Urge your member of Congress to act now to protect kids online: ijm.org/stop-csam

@Date_Stella Let's go. I could use a road trip to San Diego. ❤️

Anyone wanna go see Dayseeker with me in San Diego 🙏❤️

Show up with light in your heart. Offer warmth, kindness, and your best intentions. But if your light is overlooked or dimmed, don’t stay where you’re unseen. Light doesn’t argue for its worth; it simply shines elsewhere.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: ”We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence. It is racist, immoral, and unholy.” Democrats are insane. They are protecting criminals while putting innocent lives at risk.

Objective good and evil exist. Evil doesn't always triumph. This is your reminder to not let those who peddle in moral inversion and obfuscation cloud your judgement. Don't let the blackpillers tell you it can't be done. Good can win - but only if real action is taken.

This is Sheridan Gorman She was m*rdered by an illegal alien in a random attack while walking outside with friends in Chicago, Illinois, on March 19, 2026. She was only 18. Her life was precious.

This is Blake Zieto He was killed when a truck, driven by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record and a deportation order, hit him head-on in a hit-and-run crash in Louisiana. Blake was only 20. His life was precious.

This is Officer Nick Erfle He was shot in the line of duty by an illegal alien in Phoenix, Arizona. The shooter had been deported, re-entered the U.S. illegally, and had a prior criminal record. Nick’s life and service were invaluable.

@Yaqiu They don't want to admit that a socialist system run by "people of color" has failed. That would indicate that capitalism is superior and that people of color are not inherently virtuous - two facts that are antithetical to their worldview.

The American left’s persistent blindness to inequality and repression in China is genuinely hard for me to understand. Many of those least willing to see it are educated elites. There is some deeper psychological dynamic at work here, and I'd love to hear a serious explanation.

Laken Riley 2.0? That's what it looks like in Chicago. Tragically, an 18-year-old Chicago co-ed was executed, allegedly by an illegal alien released into America by the Biden administration and protected by Illinois politicians like Governor J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson. Pritzker, who put out statements mourning the death of those resisting arrest in Minnesota, hasn't said a word about this murder in his home state. All while Democrats in Congress, seeking to protect murderers like this, are forcing Americans to wait in enormous lines at airports by not funding the TSA. Democrats are a plague on America. nypost.com/2026/03/22/us-…

"I've taken this bus 2 or 3 times with the same driver, and he always takes his dog 🐶, whether he's asleep 😴 or awake. The other day, a lady got angry saying that it was unhygienic to have a dog on board. The driver reacted angrily and explained that he couldn't leave his dog alone at home all day. For him, this dog is like a son 👶❤️, so he takes him everywhere! 🚌✨"

Didn't drive her car at an ICE agent. Didn't try to obstruct an ICE operation. Was just walking down the street when an illegal alien killed her in cold blood. And Democrats do not care.

This is Kayla Hamilton She was m*rdered in Aberdeen, Maryland by an illegal immigrant. She was only 20. Her life was precious.

@danharris @marklevinshow @AmerPat22 Disgusting but not surprising. Talib deeply hates the US and everything we stand for. Her mission is to infiltrate and destroy.

Wow

@timstarr2001 Agreed. We should've depleted the enemy by forcing them to defend. A virtually 100% defensive strategy gave them indefinite time to win.

@CrisMarkos That's basically my argument.

Everyone “knows” Vietnam was unwinnable. That guerrilla wars can’t be defeated. That escalation would’ve triggered World War III. That the U.S. never had a real path to victory. But the historical record doesn’t quite fit that story. By 1971, the insurgency was largely broken. In 1972, the U.S. escalated—and nothing happened. No Soviet intervention. No Chinese intervention. So what actually went wrong? The war wasn’t lost because it was unwinnable—it was lost because decisive leverage came too late. freemarketsandfirepower.substack.com/p/how-the-viet…

Karl Marx gave humanity its most murderous idea: that human suffering stems not from scarcity and the human condition, but from private property itself. This bearded parasite—who never worked a day in his life and lived off Engels' textile fortune—convinced generations that voluntary exchange was exploitation while violent redistribution was justice. The body count speaks for itself. Stalin's forced collectivization murdered 6 million Ukrainians through engineered famine. Mao's Great Leap Forward killed 45 million through sheer economic illiteracy. Pol Pot slaughtered a quarter of Cambodia's population. And every single time, the intellectuals proclaimed it "wasn't real socialism." The pattern is identical across continents and centuries: seize private property, centrally plan production, watch millions starve. But the intellectual foundation was always rotten. Marx's labor theory of value—the notion that labor alone creates value—was already debunked by Austrian economists like Böhm-Bawerk before the ink was dry on Das Kapital. Value is subjective, determined by individual preferences in voluntary exchange. Marx simply couldn't grasp that the capitalist performs the crucial function of time preference—sacrificing present consumption for uncertain future returns. Even "democratic socialism" in Western Europe required massive wealth transfers from productive individuals to bureaucratic parasites, creating permanent dependency classes and stagnating growth. Venezuela had the world's largest oil reserves and still managed to create toilet paper shortages. Cuba turned a Caribbean paradise into a floating prison where doctors flee on rafts. Every socialist experiment ends the same way: empty shelves, secret police, and intellectuals explaining why the next attempt will be different.

The horrors of the Biden administration's border crisis continue to haunt innocent Americans. A Venezuelan illegal alien MURDERED Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman. Sheridan's sister is a student at Vanderbilt University and an Executive member of the Vanderbilt College Republicans. My heart breaks for the Gorman family. This never should've happened. Sheridan should still be here. The abhorrent policies of Democrats allowed this is to happen. They shamelessly protect dangerous illegal aliens, even at the expense of innocent American lives. I am grateful to the immense efforts of President Trump to tackle the disaster left behind by Biden. I will continue to support his efforts and fight to protect Americans. Please join me in praying for the Gorman family and all those who have been impacted by illegal alien violence. It must end. dailywire.com/news/murder-su…

It means he will become friends with the Mamdanis and get a flattering photo op for the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine

@VoCommunism I was in Saigon recently and actually had a 65-year old man tell me, "We hope America comes back." The narrative that the Vietnamese people support communism is 100% wrong.

Saigon fell to communist forces on April 30, 1975, plunging the entirety of Vietnam into darkness. Remember the victims.

@timstarr2001 @f_wintersberger I fear that many Americans are at a point where they believe no war is worth fighting. A tragic nexus of narcissism, implicit pacifism, and moral ambiguity.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.” - John Stuart Mill

Being antiwar is the libertarian position. There is no other.
