I just wanted to be interested in the world and the history of all of us. I dreamed of one day fulfilling Jenny Joseph's wonderful "Warning". I never sought Handmaid's Tail, 1984, Animal Farm, Z for Zaccharia, Alone in Berlin. Could some of the people supposedly in power please grow a spine?

Iran continued their genocide in the middle east.
And China shot an innocent woman in the face 3 times.
Oops actually they were all the USA.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.
This should not be a difficult concept.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.
