"The so-called truce was a political manoeuvre, a pause that allowed Israel to reset the clock on its war while maintaining the core elements of its siege and occupation. Israel continued its war on Gaza through an ongoing choking blockade, aerial attacks, and the killing and abuse of Palestinian prisoners. In the West Bank a parallel war rages on, with Israeli forces raiding Palestinian homes, carrying out assassinations and detaining people in the thousands."

Trump got nothing. Putin tricked Trump into demanding that Ukraine can no longer bomb Russian oil refineries, while Putin can continue bombing civilians, and Ukraine can have 0 weapon deliveries for 30 days.
Trump truly possesses a lethal level of stupidity.
It is time the international community tells the wannabe dictator, that we do not deal with fools, and we will now help Ukraine send Putin's murderers back to Moscow.
Enough is enough.

" The Russians had also massed at least 50,000 troops, four times the Ukrainians’ numbers. It remains unclear how they pulled it off, and what role Donald Trump’s decision (subsequently reversed) to limit intelligence sharing with Ukraine on March 5th had played. Some Ukrainian intelligence officers insist they were blindsided. “The Americans are lying if they say we had everything we needed for defence,” one says."

Denver mom detained by ICE without a deportation order, during her lunch break at Target, because of her immigration rights work
"John Fabbricatore, the retired field director for ICE in Denver, says the agency tried to deport Vizguerra for years, starting in President Donald Trump's first term.
“She's been against this government, against ICE,” Fabbricatore said. “She's just part of the Abolish ICE movement, and she should have been deported years ago.”

I love the way the ICE guy throws out “working under a fake Social Security number” as something that makes her deportable. It means she pays into our Social Security system through the payroll tax but will never be able to collect benefits.
This of course is how it is with most undocumented immigrants: they carry a heavier weight in our society so the burden for the rest of us will be lighter.

The image features a small dog, likely a Chihuahua, sitting on a couch. The dog is wearing a blue sports jersey with the NFL logo and the word "New England" on it. The dog is surrounded by a pile of U.S. currency, including $100 and $20 bills, which are scattered around it. The dog has a neutral expression and is looking slightly to the side. The background shows a textured couch with a patterned fabric. The text above the image reads, "If we TPK in this final boss fight, who gets all our gold and treasure?" followed by "The party's pet:"
