Born in the coastal resort of Acapulco, Alberto Salagan's parents took him to the US when he was just six-months-old. Then he got involved in gangs and the rest is predictable - with a twist.

Anybody who works with or lives with dementia patients knows you cannot expect them to make sense. Of course Trump wants his tariffs and tax cuts for #TheSelectandPowerfulFew. He just doesn't want to annoy those of us who are only here for the oligarchy.

Kinney County, along Texas’ border with Mexico, collected some $1.7 million in bail from migrants who were deported before they could make their court appearances. The money was never returned. When your government shows how to take advantage of others.

Trump has decided not to get Abrego García returned. In this ABC News interview, he even agreed that he could if he wanted to, but Garcia plays a bigger role for the Nazis in this administration. His experience teaches us to conform, & them to subjugate.

Cecot, a secretive 40,000-capacity facility built in El Salvador to house alleged gang members, ‘is meant for permanent exile, permanent punishment’. Trump chose this plan for a reason. The GOP complies, reason being we have no means to disappear/torture.

Most of us learn that no individual is infallible. Some of us learned it in Bible class. Some learned through the school of trial and error. The longer it takes to learn, the harder the lesson.

A 2-day strike in L A County kept some 55,000 unionized public employees off the job yesterday. Workers held an enormous rally that clogged streets in downtown LA. Of course they will get blamed since #TheSelectandPowerfulFew are off limits in America.

Its not always about hotels and golf resorts. When looking to grow the economy, some nations do more. Reducing federal support for research and development could cause long-run economic damage and reduce government revenue.

At least politicians of old would have offered a reason for the need. Maybe not a good reason, but transparency often alerted us to demand answers. Now we see what total secrecy can do.

Here's an explainer on that big blackout in Spain. Europe's officials mostly focused on where power comes from — allied or unfriendly nations; climate-friendly — rather than how electricity circulates. Grids were usually an afterthought.

Legislation written by the House Judiciary Committee would allow Trump to delete reams of regulations from the federal rulebook. Those who want immediate relief probably won't see the danger.

During her father's 1st term, Ivanka Trump championed an initiative supported by Rubio and others. But it had one of those forbidden words in it (women) and the impaired, drunken Dec of Defense gleefully abolished it. Gleefully & in public.
