While it seems to drag at times, life is really moving at warp speed. Surviving Vietnam convinced me that time was precious, so I only dropped into the mainstream when I ran out of money to enjoy my time.

This one hurts because it's true. trump didn't invent corruption but he's the first to turn it into an open governing principle.

Trump's shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment.

Looks like the guy who murdered him had a clear view of his empty holster.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

This story bothers me because trump will indirectly influence TikTok's algorithms to lean right through the people put on the board. www.channelnewsasia.com/world/tiktok...

ByteDance retains a 19.9 per cent stake in the joint venture - keeping its ownership below the 20 per cent threshold stipulated by the law.

2024 is the last year the government plans to report on this data. I pulled out one chart that clearly shows we're not helping minorities enough.

None of these people who died helping America with its totally misguided war had the luxury of the bone spurs excuse.
United Kingdom (457)
Canada (159)
France (90)
Germany (59)
Italy (53)
Poland (44)
Denmark (43)
Australia (41)
Spain (35)

Romania (27)
Norway (10)

The bogus one way ceasefire is off schedule and unlikely to help Palestinians as long as trump's cronies are embedded in the solution.

Get this: so many people in Minneapolis have been abducted by ICE that abandoned cars are now a problem.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

It hurts to read this story and know ICE is doing this to people. Every day while MSM focuses on not reporting the human damage ICE keeps absconding with actual people who are the social fabric of this country.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.

But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.
