Good news for us and for Ukraine

Now more people will have access to weapons of war

I mostly go there for cheap cat litter. Tough times for young people who really do need to buy things for growing families.

Do we really want this? US troops in Gaza long-term?

Dolan is so meek even when Trump makes a joke of the late Pope. I’ll bet he would have called down hellfire if anyone else had done this.

The price of oil is down, which is bad for the Russian economy. No politician since Jimmy Carter dared to say the word ‘conservation’, but if Americans use less oil it takes money out of the Russian war chest.

Looks like Trump helped make Australia great again

Sen. Ciccone is our new RI Senate Majority Leader. Those who voted against him are- Acosta, DiMario, Euer, Kallman, Lauria, Mack, Pearson, Ujifisa, Valverde and Zurier. They may pay a price for that, but if they are your Senator, let them know you are watching their back.

“Trump’s team twice played on big screens the…that …video of Venezuelan migrants being deported to El Salvador, shackles and forced head-shavings and all…the crowd went wild. It’s one thing being pleased that your government is deporting undocumented.. This felt like something else entirely.”

“Proven alternatives already exist: housing-first initiatives, non-police and peer-led crisis response teams, harm reduction programs, and voluntary, community-based mental health services. These models prioritize dignity, autonomy and support over surveillance, control and confinement.”

It’s especially brave for a naturalized citizen to speak so openly- “The US media have been able to report on the ways the Muslim Brotherhood politicised and weaponised religion. But they have failed to bring that same urgency to the politicisation of Christianity in the US,”

Ladies, are there others out there who don’t carry anything of value in a purse unless it’s on our person like a little shoulder bag? Like if I ever had $3,000 I’d keep it very close, maybe that’s unfeminine.

When I was in high school a friend’s mother explained to me that the Vietnamese didn’t love their children. They strapped bombs to them. So we were on the right side of the war. I’m seeing the same dehumanization of the nameless men we sent to prison in El Salvador.

Works for artists too, musicians, people who are just weird

Leaving families in the dark, why? This is how they treat hostages.

A spirit from the future said to me, “if you have to lock your doors it’s not civilization”.

The prison in El Salvador will run on slave labor

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... I was in a Pentecostal church for a few years and have heard End Times dog whistles from politicians since Reagan. They really do want to bring on the end of our world.

www.politico.com/news/2025/04... Is it safe to say you’re an atheist? A former job of mine organized a prayer circle at what I thought was a Christmas potluck, Christian bosses would push much harder if they get the okay from the pres.

politicalwire.com “Several countries, including Australia, Spain and Canada are urging consumers to buy more locally, swapping imported foods and home furnishings for homegrown alternatives to support domestic companies facing tough times.”

This is a Christian magic spell, doesn’t work any better than other spells. No free mystical lunch in this universe, you get back what you put in.

I wake up and China is imposing a tariff high enough to shut down trade. Trade is one way nations avoid war.
