Wildfires in the Canadian province of Manitoba, which shares a border with the United States, have prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency and order tens of thousands of people to leave their homes.

Winds will likely blow wildfire smoke into Midwestern states.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation.

Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

Ceasefire is done. It happened because of the unwavering sacrifice of the Palestinian resistance and Trump forcing Israel’s hand

Millions of Americans voluntarily bent their knee to one of the worst men on Earth. This will be studied by future generations with both shock and horror. Sadly, we have to live it...or try to survive it.

The conduct and organization of the NYPD will make much more sense once you understand them as a lucrative jobs program for tristate area meatheads first and a police department a distant second.
So you'd think that with an $11 billion a year budget, tens of thousands of police officers, and surveillance techn on every corner, traffic light, and building, it won't be long before the NYPD finds the person who shot the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, right?

Otherwise...why the big budget and tech?

BREAKING: The Congressional Budget Office reports that 2.2 million more Americans will become uninsured and premiums will spike by 4.3% in 2026 if Republicans allow the Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire.

The suffering would be incalculable.

Like and share to demand that they be extended!
