People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

A headline and your opinion about what you guess the article accompanying it says is not truth.
A thirdhand half-statistic spouted by a digital gobshite is not truth.
A "review" of a book the reviewer read 11 pages of is not truth.
Art, lovingly made, and lovingly devoured, in full, is truth.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.
