Ministeri Juuso ja sinimusta hallitus ovat löytäneet taas leikkauksilleen uuden kohteen ja tällä kertaa kärsijöinä ovat lastensuojelun asiakkaat. Ne lapset ja nuoret, jotka ovat jo valmiiksi heikommassa asemassa ja joiden elämä ja tulevaisuus on pitkälti yhteiskunnan käsissä.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Äärioikeisto on ilakoinut suuresti, kun eilen meni läpi huolestuttavia muutoksia EU:n maahanmuuttopolitiikkaan. Muutokset mahdollistavat turvapaikkaprosessin ulkoistamista kolmansiin maihin sekä ihmisten palauttamisen maihin, joihin heillä ei ole mitään kytköstä ja joisssa loukataan ihmisoikeuksia.
EU-parlamentti hyväksyi tiukennuksia maahanmuuttopolitiikkaan

A lot of people are starting to realize the huge financial costs to clean up the mess the oil and gas industry has made. I've yet to see one of those estimates include the cost to address what they did with radioactive waste. That won't be cheap.
"Sure, Lee Oldham told me, he had spread radioactive fracking waste on Texas farmland. But in his defense, he never in a million years thought anyone would put a school there."
The oil industry's radioactive secret is getting more attention but the damage has been done.

Nyt tarvittaisiin uusia Tove Janssoneita ja Astrid Lindgreneitä taistelussa fasismia vastaan. Onko meillä ehdokkaita?
Ainakin Riina Tanskanen voisi olla yksi heistä.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Perhaps just me, but it's 'interesting' that while Trump muses about not really needing to hold elections in the US in 2026 (because he's done such a "wonderful" job), and at the same time his henchmen are demanding the same thing as Russian aggressors: holding elections AGAINST Ukrainian law. 🙃

It seems like we have the dumbest trolls in government, but it's way worse than that.
These men are evil.
Every single one of them knows they're lying about climate change. They know that actual science shows it's real, it's us, it's dangerous, but we can fix it—yet they truly do not give a fuck.

Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?
The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.

The US is gearing up for genocidal crimes. They backed the genocide in Gaza precisely in order to set a precedent that would allow them to do this themselves.
It is pure, wanton barbarism. Every decent person with any shred of human values must resist this campaign with all their might.
