Was Trump finally ready to grant refugee status 🤔

“Bolsonaro was arrested shortly after 6am on Sat…after a supreme court judge issued a preventive arrest warrant because he was poised to flee to a foreign embassy

Bolsonaro, who counts Trump among his allies, lived 15 minutes from the US embassy

In July, Trump sent a letter to Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a right-wing politician, demanding he drop charges that Bolsonaro attempted a coup

After Bolsonaro's arrest, Trump has all but admitted defeat - removing significant tariffs against Brazil

You are investing in a computer algorithm controlled by billionaires who manipulate the value for self-enrichment, while simultaneously destroying the environment...

Putin's puppet is no deal maker - the provision in the so called "Peace Plan" preventing Ukraine from joining NATO is a clear glimpse into Putin setting his sights on taking over European nations

Unlike normal parole hearings, the board didn’t grill the prospective parolees about their crimes or review their disciplinary record

9 men did not say a word besides their name & inmate number

Each case got a unanimous vote for release “to go straight into an ICE facility for deportation"
Louisiana Made It Nearly Impossible to Get Parole. Now It’s Releasing Prisoners to Deport Them.
Gov. Jeff Landry eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those already in prison. Then he set all of that aside for one group: undocumented imm...

I talk about her in my Black abolitionists of NYC walking tour and usually no one has heard of her but she was Rosa Parks on the bus 100 years before that incident.
In 1855 Elizabeth Jennings Graham brought a suit that initiated the desegregation of NYC transit. Raised by politically active parents (her was mother formerly enslaved, her entrepreneur father was awarded a patent in 1821) Ms. Graham was a teacher, organist, & kindergarten founder.

Gregory Bovino’s deposition is out. Check here and @chicagotribune.com for highlights. Throughout, Bovino was evasive and combative. In this, while being asked about a photo showing him throwing tear gas, Bovino said: “You said canister. I threw two. That’s plural.”

Trump's peace plan for Ukraine is the same plan Russia proposed 3 years ago...

Most notable is Putin's push to gain concessions of territory he has not been able to get militarily & his demand Ukraine be forever forbidden from joining NATO

"The 28-point peace plan that the United States and Russia want to impose on Ukraine and Europe is misnamed.

It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe"
