Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Trump just pardoned Anti-Women Rights Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Dem Leadership is making themselves complicit by endorsing blatant corruption.

Cuellar was indicted in 2024 for taking 600k in bribes from a bank & from Azerbaijan, who ethnically cleansed over 100,000 Armenians last year.
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

Such attacks on civilians are a crime against humanity, and, according to the UN, they are the main cause of civilian deaths near the frontline.

"[Russians] targeted farmers who were harvesting crops. They hit cars, KAMAZ trucks."

The Russian army is deliberately attacking civilians and cars in Kherson with drones. Every day, Ukrainian Defenders record hundreds of Russian drones flying towards the city.

‼️ A reminder from last week’s reporting: COP30 was packed with lobbyists. More than 1,600 from Big Oil and 300 from agribusiness. One in 25 attendees worked for the industries driving the crisis. They outnumbered every national delegation except Brazil.

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US.

They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women.

The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.
