Contrary to what the MPs say in this clip, they do not have jurisdiction over non-military American citizens or Japanese citizens off of the base. This action is a crime under Japanese law "injury/assault" (傷害 or 暴行) or false imprisonment (逮捕監禁). www.youtube.com/shorts/2_8zV...

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.
I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.
Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.
Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Where are all of the MAGAts who said defunding USAID was important because, you know, “America First?” $20,000,000,000.00 to Argentina to prop up a failing government?!?!?

Does anyone believe that if the Epstein Files show that Donald Trump had sex with 14 year-old girls, it would make the MAGAs love him any less?

So while residents of Altadena are selling their lots where their homes used to because they were underinsured and can’t afford to rebuild, hedge fund bros stand to make millions off their tragedy. It ain’t right. www.latimes.com/environment/...

New European report on Noise Pollution which is a major health risk leading to strokes, heart attacks and harms to child cognitive development. The biggest source is road traffic. www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/...
More than 20% of Europeans exposed to harmful noise pollution levels
Just over 110 million people, or more than 20% of Europeans, are exposed to high levels of transport noise that exceed thresholds set under EU reporting rules and which harm our health, the environment and the economy, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report on noise pollution published today. The report calls for stronger action at EU and national levels to address the problem.
