A really enterprising political operative could start asking why a admin with ties to a notorious sex trafficker is so keen on getting rid of the child exploitation and human trafficking units of ICE and creating unaccountable black sites people could be disappeared from.

Aggressor states attempting to justify invading & occupying land while persisting with the ongoing & systematic slaughter of innocent civilians, journalists & aid workers will always be wrong.

Itโ€™s very true that courts are corrupt and do NOT look out for victims. If you pay attention and decode what they want you to say and what they donโ€™t want you to say, they want you to take the fallout and damage but protect the abuser. Thatโ€™s not justice.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nationโ€™s wealth. Itโ€™s not sustainable.

Originally titled โ€œThe Best Days Of My Lifeโ€, it helped Adams in his quest for a song about summer. โ€œWhile we were doing the demo, I just threw in the lyric โ€˜It was the summer of โ€™69โ€™ and it stuck.โ€

Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C. The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

Trumpโ€™s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. Weโ€™re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

The Israeli regime just targeted and murdered five journalists as part of its ongoing campaign of genocide against Palestiniansโ€”and had the audacity to call terrorists.

Because telling the truth about Israel's war crimes is terrorism now.
