Wait, so the President who instructs ICE to go steal people (including citizens and non-criminals trying to become citizens) kicked out Epstein for "stealing" his workers. (AKA young girls he was grooming for himself at Mar-a-Lago)
Got it!

I am proud to work for an organization that not only covers important durian issues, but also covers the political economy of international durian investment and trade with perspectives from both countries and quotes in both languages. I love it. Please support @globalvoices.org so we can continue!
China has an insatiable appetite for durian. Is it a boon or a curse for Indonesia?
China's growing appetite for durian has mobilized investors in southeast Asia, and Indonesia is looking to get in on the action. But the move doesn't come without environmental and social risks.

Why were there teenage girls working at the spa at Mar-a-Lago?
What was Trump’s relationship to them?
Why did Epstein poach them?
Why did Trump care so much about it?
These are some questions I’d like answered by Trump—preferably under oath.

I was a seasonal worker at Macy’s during the holidays for a few years and it was definitely the most draining job I’ve had.
You ever worked early morning Black Friday when the register stops working? Brutal.

Unskilled labor is a myth. Taco Bell was the hardest job I’ve ever had to this day and I met the hardest working dedicated folks there.
This is why everyone should work a service or retail job.

King Charles will be opening Canada's parliament later this month — the first time the English monarch has done so in 50 years. He'll be delivering PM Carney's first speech from the throne.
It's a clear bit of symbolism as Canada tries to re-orient back towards Europe and way from America.
