“No stupid rules of engagement” is one for the history books—and not in a good way.

The world is too dangerous to live in—not because of the people who do evil, but because of the people who stand by and let them. -ALBErT EINSTEIN

What was the hardest part of emigrating?

Yeah a lot of people I know have migration from red/purple states to blue one as their first option and going international as a fallback

I’d say about 25% of my family and friends are the same boat as this

The Trump administration has hailed the exodus-negative net migration-as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas. Beneath the stormy optics of that immigration cr ckdown, however, lies a less-noticed reversal: America's own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves and their families in lands they find more affordable and safe. Since the Eisenhower administration, the U.S. hasn't collected comprehensive statistics on the number of citizens leaving. Yet data on residence permits, foreign home purchases, student enrollments and other metrics from more than 50 countries show that Americans are voting with their feet to an unprecedented degree. A millions-strong diaspora is

Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and stood around as he bled to death, video shows Israeli forces blocked Palestinian ambulances while a 14-year-old lay bleeding for at least 45 minutes.

“According to video footage and eyewitness testimony, the soldiers – 14 in total – then stood around Jad casually for at least 45 minutes while he bled from one or more gunshot wounds.”

That’s the one! And yes, that’s a great reminder of Milwaukee’s badass legacy of direct action toward a more just future.
