I was at a geographic photography exhibition during the summer by a Mexican. One of the featured posters was of Venezuela. It said that about 8m. people had fled economic collapse due to US sanctions. They went to neighbouring impoverished countries such as Colombia. Many walked by night. Dangerous.
When they attack Venezuela, the regime and its lapdog press is going to saturate the zone with propaganda. Just try to remember that there are completely innocent people on the receiving end of the missiles and bombs.

If I type what I feel about the people responsible for this I’d probably get struck off… but I’m sure you can imagine.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

DOGE shuts down having not found trillions of dollars of waste or saved any money.
They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.
By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.

Good idea. Do it, Home Depot, do it.
Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
