Glad this trial is underway. 1 of my high school classmates’ sister was kidnapped after Kaduna train incident. Besides trauma from the incident, exacerbated by lengthy captivity & anxiety about who would care for her special needs son, her family paid 100m naira ransom. punchng.com/mamu-spent-r...

We are rightly concerned now about children's aptitude & willingness to read and underdeveloped critical thinking skills.
Yet we elevate a man to the highest office whose aversion to reading & thinking is so notorious his supporters uncritically boast it as vital to his appeal and relatability.

ICE just detained Karoline Leavitt’s nephew’s mother - a DACA recipient who was weeks away from a green card.
This is what happens when an administration builds a machine so aggressive it chews up its own orbit.
They promise “law and order” and end up creating chaos in their own families.
