MASSIVE BREAKING:
A Trump Border patrol agent appears to be a violent, criminal, gangbanging, MS-13 drug cartel member, according to Trump and many within MAGA.
Off to CECOT torture prison in El Salvador, he goes, without any form of due process whatsoever!!
Isn’t that how this works?

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.
He has assembled a Board of Occupation.
The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.
That is up to the Palestinian people.

1. The ICE officer who shot and killed the young mother, as she was pulling off after dropping her child at school, was not touched at all, much less injured.
2. He shot into the car window multiple times and killed her, even tho she was unarmed and driving slowly away.

There is no real ceasefire in Gaza. The so-called ceasefire creates a dangerous illusion that life is returning to normal, while in reality the Israeli army continues its genocide.

Stunning unique fused glass coasters. Each made using a reactive glass technique that produces lovely purple hues and pools of blue within the glass. Looks beautiful on a coffee table.

I left university in 2019 with £49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to £48,600 - just £1,000 less.

Every other comparably wealthy country has some version of universal healthcare, and none of them would trade their systems for the wasteful and haphazard US system, writes Eagan Kemp of @publiccitizen.bsky.social.
Trump's Health Plan Is Doomed to Fail—We Need Medicare for All
Unsurprisingly, Trump’s concepts of a plan don't even begin to reverse the damage he caused when he made massive cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen
Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory
So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.”
The reality? It’s the opposite.
