Foreign fentanyl is almost exclusively brought across the border by American citizens for consumption by American citizens. (Much is also made domestically by Americans.) Saying that Mexico is to blame is incorrect, and this bizarre comparison seems like barely concealed bigotry.
Fentanyl from Mexico: 21,000 pounds. Fentanyl from Canada: 43 pounds. As someone who works in Canada nearly half the year, i love our northern neighbor and regret the utter stupidity of punching them in the face. Why must our great country rebrand itself as the "as*hole of the world"?

What is this bizarro reality? Everyone has their own take on this, but if Trump actually gets a ceasefire, it would basically show how easy it is for any US president to get Israel to stand down. It would also prove that the genocide has only continued because Biden wanted it to.

People can absolutely determine the exact location of an image by analyzing lighting, shadows, landmarks, or natural elements in the background. The amount of data needed to identify someone—or even their current location—is shockingly small. Any privacy book worth it's salt explains this.

Democrats need to fight back immediately by protecting the vulnerable groups Republicans are going after. There's no amount of ground they can give up on trans rights to make Republicans stop attacking.
Not standing up for trans people hasn't helped Democrats win
elections. Ask Sherrod Brown, Colin Allred, or Kamala Harris.

The solution to the crisis of homelessness is simple: provide housing. That’s because the number one cause of homelessness is insufficient income and lack of affordable housing — not substance abuse or mental illness, as popularly believed.
The burst of new laws follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling and reflects public frustration with record-high homelessness. But advocates say fines and jail time will only make the problem worse.
100-plus cities in the U.S. banned homeless camping this year. But will it work?

I think Biden is trying to escalate the war to the point where Trump can’t easily force a ceasefire, which would mean NATO involvement. NATO is gambling that a direct war with conventional or tactical nuclear weapons would precede the actual end of the world and that that’s the winnable one. Insane.
