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.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I have been thinking about this all day. why now? why him?
The man is a felon.
The man is NOT a good person. He knows it (see "not going to heaven" comments)
he is self centered, not an altruistic bone in his body.

why is the world absolutely OWNED by a small group of rich/powerful men?

exactly....
Qatar totally leveraged something.
Also it became abundantly clear listening to his "speech" today [or more like 35 minute incoherent ramble] that Qatar, Saudis, and the US [by way of Trump and co] see $$$ in Gaza rebuild.

The evidence of Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine is plain to see.
Unpunished crimes encourage new atrocities.

Today, we are providing the first €10 million for the Special Tribunal to ensure that those responsible for the crimes of aggression do not escape justice.
