“Help! I’m afraid that if I oppose ICE, I’ll be branded as anti-law enforcement!”
That isn’t a problem, bucko. That isn’t a real thing. ICE is not law enforcement. Illegal immigration is a misdemeanor. You’re the equivalent of having a death squad enforce parking rules.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Seems like Putin instructed or advised Trump to take Greenland. Trump has long been Putin’s lap dog & does what he is told. If Trump gets Greenland, Putin will have full access to the US. Trump has already destroyed US relationship with NATO & our allies. That was a most fervent Putin wish.

VARIETY: “10 people familiar with the workings of CBS News say the Paramount Skydance unit is veering toward dysfunction, with a management team led by Bari Weiss that doesn’t value standards held by veteran journalists…”

If you have any leads on any jobs, I'm still looking. I'm in a suburb of Boston, but can relocate if the salary is sufficient to pay full rent/loans/living expenses (as I'd be moving without my husband).

Hot take: the only bicycle infrastructure worth building is low-stress. If you can't build low-stress you're just wasting money.

Just got a call from my daughter’s school here in north Hollywood that ICE has been seen near the campus. Heading over there now, hoping that’s not the case. But word is they’ve been all around NoHo and Burbank today so everyone stay safe and watch out for your neighbors.

Trump’s invasive owning attitude to Greenland has not changed. He has permanently caused loss of trust in the U.S from Europe and this NATO agreement looks like a 1938 Chamberlain appeasement moment. Trump wont give up on attacking NATO, use this agreement to deceitfully advance his aggression
Trump backpedals on threats against Greenland, but allies say damage has been done
President Trump announced what he called the framework of a deal over Greenland, the Danish island he had threatened to take over. There are not many details, but Trump said it would allow the U.S. to...

Greenland was ours, everyone knows it. We gave it back, very stupid, but out of kindness, nobody ever thanks us. It's cold but very important. They say, “some boats landed 100s of years ago,” boats, okay? Then I should own half the world. We need Greenland again, we have to. Everyone knows it.
