None of the people in the boats the US has illegally bombed are "in the fight" because the US is not at war, no matter how much the Trump regime insists

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

On this day, fascists attacked us, and were in the process of attacking Europe. A bunch of anti-fascists —our grandparents and great grandparents, and parents, in my case— went and beat them down.
Let us not forget who won that war…

He stroked my face gently, looked into my eyes. “I want the way we make love to help you feel like the proud, smart, powerful woman you are.”
“Joey, sex can make you feel that way?”
He patted my hand. “A lot to consider, huh?”

'What do you want here?’ were the words he said.

We’d never heard of a question quite like this.

I chose one of the 3 most common Finnish surnames, Mäkinen, to symbolize my novel's MC Paul as a representative and leader of "ordinary" people. Paul is of Finnish descent. Mäkinen means "little hill," and is understated like Paul is. And yes, the name is explained in the book.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Every year Canada remembers the 14 women killed in a mass shooting at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, which happened in 1989. The women, all engineering students, were targeted by a misogynist with a gun.
Tonight Montreal's sky was lit up with beams of light in remembrance of each of them.
