ICE Enforcement May Be A Mass Disabling Event
ICE have proven again and again that they will target the most vulnerable. Their aggressive actions may even become a mass disabling event. Why aren't more people talking about it?

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Kremlin is not interested in peace. Putin’s mafia needs the war to still stay in power. They initiate peace talks only to delay new US sanctions and to create disagreements and chaos among the western countries. But Russia’s economic ruin is on the way. Only wait.

European envoys arrived in Geneva with counterproposals to Trump’s plan. Key points: no limits on Ukraine’s military, restoration of control over ZNPP, Kakhovka dam, Dnipro crossings, and Kinburn Spit, and that territorial issues be addressed only after a ceasefire, without a withdrawal from Donbas.
