The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people.

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy, as should the traitor who refused to accept the election results and incited the attack on the U.S. Capitol — Donald J. Trump.

A major city of the Kazakh Steppe? Investigating Semiyarka’s Bronze Age legacy
Occupied from around 1600 BC and linked to the Cherkaskul and Alekseevka-Sargary cultures, Semiyarka is a newly identified 140ha Late Bronze Age settlement in north-eastern Kazakhstan. The site represents a unique settlement with planned architecture—including a central monumental structure—low-density pottery scatter and evidence for organised tin-bronze production.

Just this year, Minnesota has ranked:

A top 10 state for safety.

A top 5 state to live in.

A top 3 state for jobs.

A top 3 state to retire.

The 2nd best state to raise a family.

The 2nd best state for children.

A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.

The government says UK arms exports globally "are now worth over £14.5 billion annually and growing – making Britain the world’s second-largest arms exporter after the United States".
