GW Bush: “It is neither wise, nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border. There is a rational middle ground between granting an automatic path to citizenship for every illegal immigrant, and a program of mass deportation.”

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

Susan B. Anthony was born #OTD in 1820.

She dedicated her life to women's #suffrage, and campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's property rights, and more: susanbanthonyhouse.org/her-story/bi...

Active until she died in 1906. She never got to vote in her lifetime (well, legally that is).

One does not need to live in Ramallah or anywhere else in the West Bank to see what is coming. Israeli forces already besiege most of the Palestinian territory, negotiated under the infamous Oslo Accords, as they besiege city after city across the West Bank.
