ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family.

It’s far past clear: ICE must be abolished. Congress should not give it any additional funding. And the people responsible for its crimes should face charges.
"[M]asked agents apprehended 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway on Tuesday...[the agent] led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

I am no fan of Maduro. He is a repressive dictator. So was Duterte, so is Bukele, so is Putin, and so is that asshole.

I categorically reject that idea that the United States has the right to just capture foreign leaders we don’t like.

Hebben John Mearsheimer en andere exponenten van de zg. ‘realistische school’ in faculteit Internationale Betrekkingen al uitgelegd dat de VS begrijpelijkerwijs in Venezuela hetzelfde beogen als Rusland in Oekraine?

From the Irish Times: "Each election, millions of Dutch-born citizens of foreign descent see politicians competing over who can talk toughest about them and their families, and see their neighbours repeatedly vote the far-right into parliament."

Geert Wilders didn’t lose the Dutch election - he had already won
Dutch politics has been transformed by 20 years of hateful speech about foreigners

Starting November 21, Lithuania will halt transit of Russian oil products to Kaliningrad via Lithuanian Railways, complying with U.S. and UK sanctions. Nearly all of the 194,000 tons shipped this year came from Lukoil. A major choke on Russian energy logistics.

The far right and Islamic extremists radicalise their base in the same way and fuel each other.

It is a cycle of hate and only punishing or focusing on one side will just make it worse.

Send this to your fash relative.
The facts will probably upset them.

Niet alleen triest, maar ook gevaarlijk.

De PVV misbruikt technologische innovatie om racistische drek te verspreiden, en nu ook om haat tegen andere politici aan te wakkeren.

Wilders biedt excuses aan, maar het is deel van een patroon. Tijd voor iets nieuws.

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant."

Please share as widely as possible. We need an antidote to media promotion and protection of Farage.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

“The West doesn’t understand the extremism of Putinism…that (its) goals involve the destruction of the transatlantic alliance & maybe of the EU…The path to peace is through convincing Putin that he won’t win the war, that it’s hopeless.”

Dit is geen ‘oorlog’ en zeker geen ‘zelfverdediging’. Dit is de systematische uitroeiing van een volk, haar cultuur, erfgoed, landschap en geschiedenis. Precies zoals Israëlische leiders vanaf het begin openlijk bepleitten. En wie daartegen protesteert, wordt nog altijd weggezet als antisemiet.
