This is what leaving the X place feels like. Let's keep the Sky place a place to heal, invigorate, motivate, energize, share, care, and reclaim ourselves, our power and strength.

Is this the much sought-after HQ of Antifa that those with twisted hearts filled with greed hatred and tyranny disguised as patriotism and Christianity would have you believe ?

He's insane and it's getting worse.

Several countries have posted statements on the kidnapping of their citizens from international waters by Israel hours ago.
From Australia...Nothing !!!
A flat footed disgrace.

Remember the Trump 35-day record-breaking Xmas shutdown, which caused such pain to families and worthy of Scrooge himself.

Welcome to Gaza

I think he's trying to break his own U.S. record of 35 days, which did a real Scrooge on Americans at Xmas.

Welcome to Gaza

Jan @madeinoz.bsky.social · 7d

Is Trump trying to break his own record ?
He already holds the dubious title of causing the longest US shutdown in history.
A real Scrooge effort with his 35 days 2018 to 2019 causing Xmas hardship across America.

Benjamin Netanyahu has outmanoeuvred yet another American president

For all US President Donald Trump's boasts about ending wars and being a worthy candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize, he has failed to end the war in Gaza and build a sustainable future for both Israelis...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Was he reprimanded for getting caught on camera ? 😉

I was bitten twice in the garden yesterday by a lurking demon of a carpenter ant. I can confirm that it was more painful than last years 3 wasp stings !
Be wary of lurking garden midgets !

I love the spring flowers of my bed of lemon geranium. It's impossible to walk past without rubbing a leaf and having a good sniff !

Trump was up posting Med beds as a medical breakthrough. He later deleted it, but not before it was captured.
It was too late as Grok was able to fact check it, too.
This is the POTUS !
How much humiliation are Americans prepared to swallow as the old fool sends U.S. credibility plummeting ?

6. If children are in company and are U.S. born, a documented family member or nominated person to care for children in collaboration with child services.

That's what a humane democracy would do.

5. If the person is illegal or a criminal transfer to a facility where they can make a call to advise family and be held in humane. conditions.

4. If they don't have documents, allow a phone call for someone to bring the documents to check and fine for not having documents with them.
