It's fair to question if Trump's America is in the business of human trafficking. All I know is if this were my daughter or niece, someone would be growing cold right.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Hey Parnell @smh.com.au.web.brid.gy , I am sure Hitler and Stalin also did some "good" things during their dictatorships if you want to break it down like that. That doesn't distract from the fact they were evil arseholes.

Debating with stupidity is a pointless exercise. The response should be "No, it doesn't" and walk away.

The musing of Peter Thiel who proposes Greta Thunberg or even Bill Gates be the anti-christ (a luddite) when he vociferously backs people like Trump and RFKJr. Needs to take a long hard look in the mirror. The most idiotic thing I had read in a while. Evil fkwit.

The last bold move made to benefit Australians was NDIS. Albanese's legacy will be AUKUS .... a purely Tory policy that benefits no one except the USA.
