Much that is astonishing about this story, buti look, if I had the money, I'd send my hypothetical kids to an elite private school. The schools listed are great. The pupils there who need *further* encouragement from a Cambridge college apply...that's who you want to target to *increase* quality?

You have to understand that they do not and will not ever play ‘fair’. They will distort reality in whatever way suits them. Their side are martyrs and anyone else killed by their thugs is just collateral.

This is a sick, malicious lie from Trump. He claims the dead woman "willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer...based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive." I've posted three screenshots from his clip. It demonstrates nothing close to what he claims.

Amazing wrongness here. 1. If you're arresting 00s of peaceful pro-Gazan protestors, you don't believe in free speech. 2. Even if you do believe in it, it doesn't extend to child porn. 3. You can't debate with fascists. 4. You can put a counter-narrative (if you have one) onto civilized platforms.

Little known WWII fact: ~70% of Allied fuel came from Venezuelan crude, refined at Shell’s Curaçao & Aruba plants. It helped defeat Nazi Germany and save Europe. The US commandeered that oil too. Today’s talk of “running” Venezuela? Same power, same oil. The purpose is gone
