Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

Those of us who served in the military know that dogs were some of the best partners we could ever wish for, and many were real heroes. For Kristi Noem's CBP agents to be shooting a family dog in this way -- and then leaving the scene -- is disgusting.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Yes I know

But your assumption that they're all white may be erroneous

I'm from Spain and no one has ever been able to detect my ethnicity in 🇨🇦
Greek?
Irish?
Indigenous? (was tanned & a tourist demanded 2 take a photo)

Hubby is Moroccan & folks assume he's Spanish

The other day, I remember Pete quoted Roberto Unger.

Pete said:

"'Hope is more the consequence of action than its cause.' It's my responsibility to find the actions that will lead to hope."

It's a good question to ask ourselves:
What actions can I take that will lead to hope?

Please don't

Spain in particular is very aware and is used to foreigners, even 🇺🇸ns, immigrating there...

There are more economically viable areas within 🇪🇸 for those wondering
