So many emptying or dying towns across so many countries determined to keep out migrants. It was great to see one mayor at least try something different and succeed, even if his country turned on him. Maybe someday Lucano's leadership in Riace will be recognized. www.bbc.com/news/in-pict...

Something worth noting is how the press is leaning into the framing that what’s happening in LA is a both sides issue or that they are riots. Even when the LAPD is saying it’s under control, suddenly for the first time in their lives the press is willing to ignore them

Just to be clear: the President has mobilized the Marines on American soil because people are protesting masked, secret police kidnapping people with no due process and shipping them to foreign death camps.
It’s not a misunderstanding or an oversight.
That is all it is.
There is no other side.

I live in Los Angeles and let me put what's going on in context. Downtown Los Angeles is less than 5 square miles and the City of Los Angeles is 502 square miles. So the orange shit stain is spending all our money on his "flex" What an absolute waste of human tissue he is

Stephen Miller ordered ICE to ramp up arrests—focusing not on violent criminals, but anyone they could grab. Home Depot raids, protests, and military escalation followed. This isn’t law and order. It’s chaos by design. Dangerous, deliberate, and disgraceful.

Amazing strategy to silence all public health communications riiiiiiiiigggghhhhhhtt when we might have some bird flu to talk about
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.
