The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

President Trump threatened 'WAR' on Chicago in a social media post Saturday as his administration’s large-scale immigration raids loomed over the city. “This is not a joke,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wrote in response to Trump’s post. “This is not normal.”

President Stubb about the amount of Ukrainian territory Russia wants: The best way to explain its that if you take the relative land mass of what Russia wants right now from 🇺🇦,it would be a little bit like you giving up Florida,Georgia,S.Carolina,N.Carolina,even Virginia,then bumping into Maryland

"I don't want to hurt you, stop fighting back, you're hurting yourself" is literally the language of an abuser. One of the most banally horrifying things about this administration is that there is no subtext, no dog whistles, no need for interpretive work. It's all just explicit racism and cruelty.

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

Newsmax settles Dominion case

BUDAPEST ‼️ what security guarantee can Ukraine trust? It needs NATO article 5 Kidnapped children don’t appear to be in the agenda. A nightmare. Can the European presence turn things around?

You continue to blame Israel for what Hamas and other Palestinian clans are doing. Why is it that you are so comfortable demonizing Israelis and making them scapegoats? Seems like many of you would have been comfortable in Hitler's Germany too.

1719. “Palestine” = Jewish Worth a watch

Apparently the red cross just sought permission to visit this week. Didn’t appear to demand it pursuant to international law and norms

If you’re not native American you too are descended from immigrants . “Do you care?”

a stinking disgrace and just one small aspect of what’s wrong here. Asha’s questions appear rhetorical.

Smokey turns three tomorrow. He says he’s lived with “caterday” long enough. “When do I get mine?” he demands to know.
