The actual figure is 10.

HURRAH! Petitions are crap at making gov'ts do things they don't want to. But they are good for two things: First, making them explain why they won't do something, but second (and more important) nudging/giving them permission to do something they DO want, but that's been crowded out bandwidth-wise.

Nothing says guilty of murder/war crimes like Pete Hegseth refusing to release the video of a second strike on an alleged drug boat in September. If it was lawful and justified, there’d be no reason to keep it hidden.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

When people are more scared of approaching the authorities for assistance it prolongs exploitation, and allows those doing the exploiting to get away with it, as by the way does arresting and deporting victims of trafficking who are also the witnesses, causing cases to collapse against traffickers.

Not just disturbing. Trump is an utter monster. Devoid of any redeeming chacteristic. He seeks to soil and corrupt every good, valiant, selfless, soaring achievement in others because he can never attain anything useful in his life that he hasn't paid for, usually with tainted money or blackmail.

The power of the European far right has grown exponentially since Donald Trump was first elected a decade ago.
Now, with the explicit support and resources of the US government, as outlined in the 🇺🇸 #NationalSecurityStrategy, they are perhaps just a few years away from controlling all Europe.
