Felt kind of sad to do this considering the rugby community there but mostly it's just a relief.

A vulnerable unaccompanied minor in a foreign country is, by definition, a traumatised child.

Race or ethnicity is irrelevant.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 1d

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

People had to complain to get Polanski an interview.

Weird nobody has to beg the BBC to give Farage airtime.

I mean, it's not actually weird. We all know what it is and why it happens.

What a load of shite. "US PRESIDENT DONALD Trump has expressed his disappointment at the “super bad” picture of him on Time magazine’s cover"
Russia’s ministry of foreign affairs...“Only sick people, people obsessed with malice and hatred –perhaps even perverts – could have chosen such a photo”,.

‘The worst of all time’: Trump says new Time magazine cover 'disappeared' his hair

Time magazine’s latest cover story commends Trump’s triumph in brokering the ceasefire and captive exchange.

1/2 Trump told the Senate to stop Biden's immigration bill so it could be a win for trump after his election. That gave the orange polyp something else to accuse Biden of by allowing the immigrant flood across the border. Also, Reagan colluded with the Iranians to free the hostage after the election

Wait - so there was a peace deal in place under Biden, but Netanyahu met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago ( apnews.com/article/trum... ) and scuttled it to give them both a political win.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!
