It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.

The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

Donald Trump incited an insurrection on J6. He should never have been able to run for public office again. What a failure of justice to not hold this man accountable.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.

It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

This.
There are studies that shows one of the things that made the Permian Extinction so brutal was that equatorial rainforests were decimated & took long to recover, & that kept carbon sinks from working & that kept the planet hotter faster & longer than it should. And now we're doing worse.

Ouch! I knew that had happened with the Amazon (specially in areas with more deforestation, like Rondônia and Pará), but had recently saw a video claiming that Congo Forest was the last big rainforest area that was still a carbon sink... and apparently they were outdated.😭

I don't know if most people realize how vital rainforests, specially equatorial rainforests are. I know that most people in power don't. They see forests as uncivilized obstacles, things to conquer, not as lives and allies.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

Any deal where Russia gets to keep ANY parts of Ukraine, should be contested tooth and nail by the ENTIRE EU!
It would just boost Putin's confidence to try and reclaim more former USSR-Territory, which is completely unacceptable!!!
