Putin's War Crimes in Ukraine have now reached 178,391. This isn't war; it is murder, and Trump has stood by Putin and his deliberate, calculated murder of civilians since day one. Now he's pushing for the surrender of Ukraine to Putin. Trump is a disgrace to America.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

The "peace" charade is not worth spending time on. It will all fall apart very soon. Russia has no interest in peace. The Russian regime needs war to motivate its own existence. What is clear, as it has been since the break-up of the USSR, is that The West is impotent in dealing with Russia.

◾️Ukraine's territory and sovereignty must be respected.

◾️Only Ukraine, as a sovereign country, can make decisions regarding its armed forces.

◾️The choice of their destiny is in their own hands.

The important thing is that she’s openly declaring CBS will be a right-wing propaganda outfit with a specific political agenda, not a newsroom, but also, “40 yards” of /what/? Where does this metaphor even come from?
