Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

Here's some facts to think about - Iran's proven oil reserves are estimated at 157,530,000,000 barrels. Iran is a significant oil producer, with a daily output around 3 million barrels, representing roughly 3% of the world's total. Imagine getting some of that.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Iran have been attacked by a nuclear power. They should cede a mineral rich region to Israel, disarm & pledge neutrality. Apparently that's how this works.
