Kerr, the man, the legend…

Always shows his strength of character when he speaks.
Steve Kerr called out the regime for lying about Minneapolis. Truth matters. Silence helps no one. We need more leaders with a spine. Speak up. Demand facts. Democracy needs voices, not cover-ups.

Russia has long dreamed - unsuccessfully - of destroying NATO. By threatening a violent move against Greenland, the current U.S. regime would end up doing Moscow’s work for it. What a tragic irony.

Venezuelan soldiers claim US used mysterious weapon during raid to capture Nicolás Maduro:

"We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon, or whatever it was."

I don't say it to condone violence, I say it out of trepidation of what might happen. Self defense isn't just picking up a gun and fighting, its also keeping yourself safe by moving to a safer location.

I can't help thinking that the violence being perpetrated against American citizens and immigrants ... will end in violence against the perpetrators. History bears this out. This is so sad and so frightening. What are your thoughts? Can this be fixed?

I heard a good point. If that officer felt “threatened” by that lady such that he had to kill her, he is too fragile to be a cop.

Best bet for Europe is to continue threatening the Silicon Valley tycoons and broligarchs with economic boycotts.

Go after the money. Hurt their bottom line.

The only thing that might avert war.

These people still prefer the color green over white.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

It seems like the world is going into absolute chaos with this administration…

With all the events domestically adversaries are probably considering taking the opportunity to strike while the world is inundated with all the deplorable events of the week.

Russia launched a ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads last night- WAPO

Putin keeps testing this weapon for a reason. This is a low orbit weapon and it's extremely expensive to fire at low reward targets. He's planning on firing tactical nukes soon.

I am quite sure that the Trumpsters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6 we're asked to stop. The police officers did not shoot them in the head.

ICE is now systematically targeting and attacking Native Americans, apparently because they are not white enough.
Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”
