Most people don't have ships, they just drown. (I just don't like that quote being applied to economics)

sensationalist clickbait headline. sounds like theyre going to try and do a 'logical' defense even though it will probably be a kangaroo court whose only goal is revenge on behalf of the rapist, trump.

trump was getting these tech ceos to say big investment numbers into the camera so that trump could say that he is the greatest president ever. The estimate that zuck gave was very high, and the fact that he later said ‘was 600b good?’ In the ‘hot mic’ moment suggests that the number was inflated to appease trumps ego and that these numbers are not real.

-11 people have been arrested in what it calls a "planned ambush" on an ICE facility in Alvarado on July 4.

-Officials say 10-12 individuals in military-style clothing fired fireworks to lure officers out, while a gunman in the woods shot an Alvarado police officer in the neck (expected to survive).

-Ten suspects, mostly from North Texas, are charged with attempted murder of a federal officer, with one facing obstruction of justice.

this fucking bill includes a 100$ fee (that will increase matched to inflation) to declare asylum at the border. The government IS the cartel.

trump took control of the state national guard under false pretenses to send them to a city that was protesting against ICE agents illegally disappearing people, and the LAPD is PROTECTING the ICE agents and national guard instead of siding with the people of LA. No one is coming to save us. Curfew protects ICE, not the people.

It was a post-doc student who wanted to continue his research at UMich on the fungus to develop ways to prevent blight. His peer-reviewed published research on the topic is available through google scholar: Google Scholar Link. He was wrong to try and sneak it in, but this looks like a dedicated scientific researcher making a bad decision - not an attempted terrorist attack.

It is not new though, it started with 10 concentrations camps during World War 2 for Japanese Americans.

It is not new though, it started with concentration camps for the extermination and removal of the Native Americans
