It's a barracks/mess hall.

I looked it up. Adult size costs between $25 and $50.

ICE stood on roof as snipers and at least one fired nonlethal (but still damaging) rounds at an unarmed Episcopalian priest. Illinois needs to do criminal investigation and charge that sniper.

Smithsonian has a celebration with artworks and a pro-Palestine demonstration has a permit along with that friends forever statue of Trump and Epstein. MAGA sissies calling names as always.

Border Patrol called anti-ICE protester β€˜B****’ before shooting her: lawyer Lawyer says video shows agents provoked clash before firing, fueling scrutiny of federal use of deadly force.

@msnbc.com This is a whole lot more important than the Comey or James trial. ICE shooting citizens in the street and LYING about it. www.newsweek.com/border-patro...

Spanish was spoken on this continent at least 200 years before the English landed on the Atlantic Coast. That is why there is no official language for the USA. We also have indigenous languages that are just as important.

I hope you are correct. I found East Oregon to be same as Alabama save for the Indians.

Retired generals & former Secretaries of Defense wrote a letter to the American public about how dangerous Trump was. Voters didn't heed them. We need military leaders to affirm the American value of civilian control and walk the line as best they can without firing on civilians.

Yes but @CNN hid the way Miller responded from the public. @CNN is shilling for Trump and his minions. @CNN needs integrity.

That is not the issue at all. Getting needed treatment is important.

EMT treated her at the business that called 911. Why would EMT let police take her to the hospital instead of taking her in the ambulance?

She drove her car away and sought help from a business where employee called 911 to help because she was bleeding so much. No video showing she did anything except drive past the agent who fired at her.

They shot her 5 times. Bad shots and complete cowards.

She was shot 5 times but driving past not at presumed ICE agent. ICE clsims she was "armed" but her weapon was in the car she was not holding not brandishing it.

These workers have commuting costs, childcare costs that they can't pay with no paychecks

No only if certain conditions are met and the judge who issued the TRO essentially said DOJ and DHS had nothing but lies as justification.

The more we learn about AI the more we find it cannot be trusted. The owners can twist results to scam us. After all they are crooks without morals. They stole other people's work to "train" their models without either paying or acknowledging their ownership.

Pritzker: β€œThe Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.”

Winning a war means conquering territory and subduing the populace. You must establish a government, provide security and administer laws, education, economy, foreign trade and all other needs. Who in USA wanted to pay for that in VN & and Afghanistan for two or more decades?

Do the Naval Academy leader picked Trump supporters for those seats? That is scary.

I hate it. I am looking for actual sources and dats not an opinion with nothing specific (or even revealed) behind it.

Teddy Roosevelt busted the trusts. Why are we letting Trump and his billionaires create new trusts to steal from the public again?
