"The key to lasting peace is clear: Putin must get nothing that justifies his aggression. Any rewards shows him that war pays off. If Putin decides who joins NATO or where NATO's infrastructure can't or can be, his appetite for war will only grow," Zelensky.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

The assailant apparently yelled "Free Palestine". This will, in effect, only HARM a two-state Palestinian cause. For it will likely embolden hard liners on all sides.

"Israel does not allow international news organisations, including the BBC, into Gaza, making verifying what is happening in the territory difficult." Can anyone explain to me why news organisations are banned by the Israeli administration?

An educated POS gets four years for child prostitution and sexual abuse. The paedophile deviant should have got 30 years to die in prison. Judges are useless when it counts. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

To be clear, anything that comes out of the mouths of MAGA lunatic propagandists Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, even syllables, are lies. We no longer have an FBI, it’s now an agency under total fascist control tasked with doing the bidding of a deranged criminal tyrant.

Americans have lived in comfortable bliss for decades, while CIA-backed dictators disappeared and massacred thousands of people all over the world. The Cold War was “cold” only for Americans; it was a hot mess for a huge part of the rest of the world.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Gaza is hardly Auschwitz. But this doesn’t mean there is no genocidal intent on the part of the Israeli far right. Liberal Israelis must be aghast. Prof. Daniel Blatman and Prof. Amos Goldberg are historians of the Holocaust and genocide studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

$44B in income from international students to America. Watch that deteriorate given Trump’s efforts to either ban foreign students or discourage them. This is the world’s leading higher education sector in free fall.
