Someday the MAGA dumbfucks, including Trump, will discover that Puerto Rico is part of the US and Puerto Ricans are American citizens.
Maybe. Someday.

For shame. How can Israel justify this? Well, they're allowing children to starve to death in Gaza, so more than likely, this treatment of Greta Thunberg is just a blip on their radar.

Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Howard K. Smith, Harry Reasoner, Roger Mudd, Mike Wallace - all CBS news giants - are spinning in their graves. Dan Rather is still with us, likely heartbroken AND fuming. Once mighty CBS has brought shame upon on itself - its extraordinary legacy sullied forever.

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.

You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized.

I still can’t wrap my head around thisβ€”mayors of US cities are holding meetings, not about natural disasters or crime waves, but how to shield their own citizens from the president of the United States.
& somehow, we’re supposed to act like this is normal. It’s not. It’s madness.

A General Strike has now obviously become necessary. But I don’t know what has to happen to get Americans to give up their complacency. Whatever it is, I guess it hasn’t happened yet. Hard to believe. My grief is for the children.

Still don't understand how this sort of thing can happen & nobody does anything about it. This, to me, is assault. Where is the governor on this sadistic thuggery? I know he's tough in speeches and I like him. But at some point he's going to have to step in & actively protect his fellow Chicagoans.

The media is just SO afraid of saying what is ACTUALLY happening. It's shameful. Not to mention, disgusting in its cowardice. They're bending themselves backwards & forwards to form the most innocuous sentences they can come up with. God forbid they anger anyone. This was a HORRENDOUS event.

This is tied for my favorite YouTube video with Prince’s Hall of Fame performance of As My Guitar Gently Weeps. GEN Dempsey’s retirement gets an honorable mention.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.
