Baffled by the choice of timing regarding the US assault on Venezuela... until we remembered what day tomorrow is. A president should be impeached if he feels a need to assault other country leaders or bomb other nations to avoid being held responsible for his own bad behavior.

With "I" word in the air again, we would argue such actions are his go-to distraction from being held culpable in office. Thus, with these repeated offenses, every reason to limit his powers at this time. Saying "our leadership threw a tantrum" is better than accidentally going to war.
Further context for current events and parallels of 2020: Let's not forget that 45 engaged in similar spontaneous aggression just days before his FIRST impeachment trial:

As Venezuela is ambushed by this flagrant razzle-dazzle misdirection of the US administration—loathed to address and remedy its own corruption, which continues to corrode public institutions—we know the greatest voices of this moment will be leaders who stand against such a malicious abuse of power.

Too many politicians sell the lie of #refugees as enterprising squatters rather than people pushed from their homes in the worst of circumstances. If a sanctuary govt cannot be of assistance on the ground, then the least they can provide is a stable place for people to regroup & reclaim their lives.

Mass General in Boston, one of our top hospitals, emailed me this. Wear your masks, folks:

"As of December 29th, you will see staff wearing masks more often at Mass General Brigham locations. We do this during periods of high respiratory virus activity to protect our patients and care teams."

Rare survey done in IDOC shows at least 2/3 of incarcerated people experienced homelessness or housing instability in 3 years prior to entering prison. Illinois needs a statewide reentry housing strategy to ensure effective reentry into society, advocates say.

Hello, FBI?

I'd like to report AG Pam Bondi for suspected anti-Christianity. Considering the pretexts listed below, I don't believe the AG has ever read the Bible in its entirety and possibly slept through the class on religious freedom in American History, too. Is this excusable incompetence?

What many Americans fail to grasp is that this attack on the sciences drives professionals who work in these spaces into the private sector or overseas. Atmospheric research, like other disciplines, impacts data available to agencies for things like LAUNCH windows.

This is not smart; it's sabotage.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Entertaining the nonsense briefly, why are these officers not female? Considering the number of law enforcement officers historically charged with sexual assault and/or abduction, we question how safe MOST women would feel in this context.

This isn't about safety; it's about intimidation & cowing.
In order to "protect women" Texas made it so that women have to go through armed guards with an ID check. They literally created a potty police.

While we constantly wish peace for Ukraine, we are not oblivious to the foreign greed & malice that has razed the country. The only valid terms are those supported by the peoples of these warring nations, who have suffered the greatest for an antiquated agenda of imperialism.

When a small community learned ICE wrongfully detained a beloved neighbor, they collectively pushed for his release.

“When a lot of people get together, at least in my case, things are possible. Miracles happen,” Ruperto said.

Basically the UK judiciary is no longer truly independent. They're taking this judge off the case because he might rule against the government.
