U.K. Tourist Returns Home in Chains Like β€˜Hannibal Lecter’ Becky Burke was released in chains and handcuffs after spending 19 days in an ICE detention facility

U.K. tourist Becky Burke finally returned home to Wales on Tuesday after spending 19 days in a U.S. ICE detention facility. Her parents relayed their daughter’s description of her release from ICE, saying how she was taken in β€œleg chains, waist chains and handcuffs,” which left her β€œtraumatized.”

Pentagon removes web references to Colin Powell and others as part of DEI purge. Have you no shame?
YouTube video by Jim Acosta Pentagon removes web references to Colin Powell and others as part of DEI purge. Have you no shame?

Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

DOGE's spending has been secret.

No longer.

My colleagues have uncovered it.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruptionβ€”both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

The CEO of the ASPCA, Matt
Bershadker makes $1,000,000+ a year.

He's made more than $7,000,000 since becoming CEO.

If you want your donations to help innocent animals instead of millionaires, give to your *local* shelter.

Walmart Is Still Putting Ebenezer Scrooge to Shame Infamous for its starvation wages, Walmart just posted staggering first-quarter profits. The surge is a result of its strategic shift toward catering to affluent shoppers while its full-time workers c...

70% of Americans who receive food stamps and Medicaid work full time, with Walmart one of the worst offenders as the country’s single largest employer.

Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize corporations who get away with paying poverty wages, especially not while raking in record profits.

Donald Trump absolutely HATES the β€œPresident Musk” meme with a passion.

Let’s keep spreading it.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.

Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.

It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.

Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.
