The Russian attack on the Turkish ship is an attack on NATO.
Will we see more NATO "strength" by inaction in response as promoted by Secretary General Mark Rutte?

Mubashir is a 20-year-old Minneapolis resident and a U.S. citizen. ICE assaulted him and grabbed him off the street anyway.
Cruelty and incompetence, and an unlawful detention. A kidnapping. ICE gets to do this with zero accountability.

HOW is this real life?
Shame on every Repub who has surrendered power, duty & oath in capitulation to a sinister, demented menace.
The demonization of science and equality-
The triumph of destabilization & anguish-
Not just here, but across the globe, is a dark manifestation of their fragility.

As a writer, I have a vivid imagination but never could I have imagined the Republican Party aligning with Putin in obedience to their demented master.

The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.

It took dozens of special agents the best part of a decade to bring Juan Orlando Hernández to justice for flooding US cities with cocaine. Then, in a single social media post last week, Donald Trump set the former Honduran president free.
