Anyone thinking of going to the Olympics or World Cup, don't
Every country should be having a very serious think about the safety of athletes, players, officials and fans.
It's morally wrong to go and give affirmation to the regime in the US
Every day gets more disgusting, ENOUGH

I've always liked watching cardinals in the snow. It's a rare moment of tranquility from the world in which America's gestapo runs rampant.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Fair warning:
If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow.
My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history.
We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."
