The moment I saw this, I knew it was ICE incompetence.
They downed what was most likely a mylar balloon with an unauthorized laser.
They were going to shutdown an airport over a balloon and claimed it was a cartel drone without any evidence.
Complete incompetence.

The FAA just shut down El Paso Airport for 10 days on short notice for "security reasons." No way this isn’t border-related BS, ICE, or military. Pure optics over people.

It's almost like being fabulously rich doesn't make you happy or well adjusted. It's almost like it makes you sad and lonely. And leaves you forever casting about for scapegoats to offset your deep self-loathing. Thank you Jim Ratcliffe and Elon Musk for these important life lessons.

Just listened to a very short BBC radio news clip about the Canada shooting, and they still chose to explicitly state the perpetrator was “a biological male who identified as female”.
In a clip that short, every word is a choice. That was an editorial choice.

Neither British nor American democracy have advanced much as political systems in the last 100+ years. One reason for that is that neither country has experienced a lost war or a revolution and hasn't had to and both are therefore stuck in a democratic quagmire.

To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?
The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.
