The footage shows a truth no lie can hide,
A just man died despite untruths implied.

Now rights lie bleeding where he took his stand,
The First for speech, the Second close at hand,
The outrage strains the leash and howls for blood,
A son cut early down in snow and mud.

Five masked feds then pinned Alex Pretti down,
They shot him so many times without grounds.
“I don’t know why they shot him,” witness cried,
Protect and Serve; a nurse personified.

A spokesman spins the phrase “domestic threat,”
He claims a murder plot with no regret.

Stephen Miller ordering ICE to sweep Home Depot in downtown LA resulting in protests and Trump calling out National Guard goes back to the fact that his wife is sleeping with an immigrant.

Trump implies it's them vs. us. It's a lie.Don't buy it. Stay calm.

Really, when you see this stuff in LA, just six months after being elected, and it was predicted that this would happen, just shows you how useless the democratic messaging was. Let's hope Newsom, Walz and co. step up up as they are going to be needed now.

Assault on nonviolent citizens

Inappropriate use of the national guard in LA. It's simply no checks on Stephen Miller.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Why is the price of gasoline still high?

Finnish Leader Warns Russia: ‘You Don’t Play With President Trump’ President Alexander Stubb of Finland, who has become an interlocutor in peace talks, says in an interview he doesn’t want Ukraine to suffer the same fate his country once endured.

This is correct.

It's not going as planned.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

No matter who sits in the Oval office in 2029, the scepticism of USA will not easily disappear. After all it took less than 4 months to tick Canadians off, so can imagine how it will be after 4 years.

Looks like the paperwork to make Canada the 51st state will have to be put back in the cupboard.

It will come to the stage that the courts will have to appoint persons, who will act to carry out court orders.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan arrested by federal authorities at Courthouse Brady McCarron, spokesman for U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and is in federal custody.

4-year-old migrant girl, other kids go to court in NYC with no lawyer: 'The cruelty is apparent' The Trump administration cut funding for lawyers aiding unaccompanied minors in court.

George Orwell would view this particular state of affairs in year 2025 in USA, in which children as young as age 4 find themselves in court without a legal representative in deportation proceedings, as too unbelievable for his seminal work, 1984.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia home to his family and 3 kids should be the easiest thing in the world. But when language is twisted to make a father a 'threat' and someone who looks different a "terrorist", then each one returned home is a sign of government weakness and failing narrative.

Thank you. Please highlight the similarities between them and now.

Old mobile phones and keyboards. Overlaid text reads: FT Exclusive: EU issues US-bound staff with burner phones to avoid espionage

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

The tariffs playbook is America First: put a squeeze on trade partners to force production to the US. Their chaos has instead sparked a serious firefight with China with no clear winner, which will hit Trump’s base financially. Tbh. His current team is not really not up to job.

Given the court order, which DOJ is dragging its feet on, it's an easy ask to establish contact between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and near relatives. That they haven't is concerning. If DOJ does not produce concrete evidence of whereabouts, then the court should mandate an independent officer to do so.
