Dear Canada, It's come to my attention that you've opened a phone exchange in the U.S. for suicide prevention, as our current fascist regime has been dismantling civil society & civic infrastructures in service to pernicious fascist-aligned (Nazi) billionaires 1st: Thanks 2nd: Can I help to fund it?

Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, tried and failed on Wednesday to secure a meeting in El Salvador with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an immigrant and Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported by the Trump administration and remains imprisoned. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...
