It’s the Murray and Albo show! Watch two gutless dickheads unnecessarily sacrifice irreplaceable rainforest and species out of sheer laziness and spite.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

If you’ve ever wondered whether quiet resistance still matters...this story will remind you why it does. The video got grounded...but something much bigger...took off.🔥👇

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Gentle reminder: I am seeing more "I cannot afford pet food" posts & if you might face this in the near future/now, I recommend checking your local area's subreddit and posting if anyone knows of local programs for pet food. Many areas have small under-the-radar charities that give out pet food.

I wonder how a fragile old narcissist dictator would do in solitary confinement with nobody to talk to, nobody to listen to him, and nothing to do but contemplate how he got there?

Let's find out.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Interesting how many people on here have genuinely baited themselves into thinking of Qatar as a "sponsor of Hamas". I don't really get where this came from and it simply is not true. Do people not get what meditation is?

Hakan Tosun’s courage must not be forgotten.

He chose truth over silence, compassion over fear.

We honour his legacy and stand in solidarity with all journalists who continue to risk their safety to tell the stories that matter.

Rest in power, Hakan.

Hakan was last seen on 10 October.

He was later found with serious injuries in Istanbul’s Başakşehir district & rushed to hospital.

Despite efforts, he could not be saved. His death is a devastating loss for Turkey’s independent media community.
