If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

Pointless. If the American have not grasped that Trump and his sycophants not only have no empathy for Epstein's victims, it is of no interest to them. Better to boycott the event by all.

I'm through being shocked and appalled and disgusted by the Trump administration's sycophants. What is their motive? Personal gain? A place at the table when Vought and Miller and Thiel et al have taken control and made the US into a white supremacist fascist country? Where's the pushback?

The heartbreaking courage of a child. Each day something newly appalling comes onto the news and the reportage is just that; no action, no empathy, no humanity, no action. Empty rhetoric again and again, however noble. Who will rid America of this troublesome administration?

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: First grade girl recounts searching for father after ICE detained him In an MS NOW Exclusive, Antonia Hylton sits down with Annabella, a New Jersey first grader whose life was uprooted when her father, Adonay Rodriguez, stepped outside to pick up a food order and was de...

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone.

She goes out looking for him.

"I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..."

Every day something new to abhor and disgust. Execute women for abortion? Why not execute men who rape? Men who abuse should be castrated, how about that for all those sanctimonious bastards who give no thought or empathy to women carrying a foetus implanted by a sick predator?

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Good. Farage is a loathsome bully, white supremacist, misogynistic arse. If the people vote him in as Prime Minister then we'll never get back into Europe and Britain will go the way of the US. I left for Europe 20 years ago but it saddens me to see my country brought so low.

Farage accused of 'cheap stunt' after being 'denied entry' to Chagos Islands The Foreign Office website makes clear the restricted access of the British Indian Ocean Territory and clearly states 'you need a permit before you travel'

But it's not "a cheap stunt."

Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too.

It's expensive flying to the Maldives.

Where did he stay?
How long is he staying?

How much did it cost?
Who picked up the tab?

This is one of the most appalling pieces of news it has ever been my misfortune to read. WTF is this? To detain and incarcerate mostly innocent people in such desperate and degrading units, like some gulag meant to terrorise and subdue, is beyond the pale. Americans must rise up and protest. Now.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

A historic blizzard is about to shut down the Northeast with up to 2 feet of snow | CNN The snowstorm will be one of the biggest in years for millions of people in the region.

Weather technology provides ample time to prepare for big storms like the one expected in New England today and tomorrow. This saves lives. If you are in a vulnerable area it's still not too late to prepare so you are not caught off guard. Stay safe out there!

Don't expect ICE's crimes and terrorism to end. They're likely not only to continue, but to evolve and adapt for greater evasion of accountability.

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.

Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.

He never returned to her that day.

Does this mean SCOTUS are seeing the writing on the wall? Apart, of course, from the miserable, cowardly, hateful three. Kavanaugh, of course, will never be forgiven for allowing ICE to arrest people of colour without demur.

What Israelis are doing in Palestine is both appalling and repellant, all while Netanyahu encourages genocide with relentless cruelty. I am not anti-semitic but I abhor the slaughter of innocents by Zionists to claim their land; all as Trump waits to claim Gaza for profit with his Board of Peace.

New Mexico officials are reopening the investigation at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.

Let’s be clear: they’re investigating claims that girls may have been murdered and buried there. It’s a crime scene and should have been taken seriously years ago.

Instead, here we are. Looking at a cold case.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

The Epstein Class is the by-product of an economy that emerged over the last two decades, from which this new elite has siphoned off vast amounts of wealth.
