That meeting was sickening; Putin loved it — Russian strike hits central Sumy just hours before Trump-Putin summit — Half of Starlink terminals sent to Ukraine found in Russian-occupied areas — Ukraine strikes oil refinery in Russia’s Samara Oblast, command post in Donetsk Oblast … and more

A pop culture reminder that "Order 66" (an "automatic" order to summarily execute a targeted group without conscious thought) from the Star Wars prequels was probably based on "Executive Order 9066," signed by FDR, which sent about 120,000 innocent Americans into concentration camps for the heinous crime of looking like the enemy during wartime.

A reminder on a date which will live in infamy, seeing as how we seem poised to rhyme history again with the promised policies of the incoming administration. #PearlHarborDay #NidotoNaiYoni #ForcedDeportation

You know, ya’d think #Rightwing #Conservatives and #Libertarian sorts might be a little worked up about the notion of using the #USMIlitary on US Soil to force deportations. Maybe stop and think for a hot minute about unleashing the Country’s military inside our borders, you know, like in your town or neighborhood. After all, if there is a deep state, they could be coming after you. You want your kid or grandkid walking to school or the park in the midst of regiments of army or MPs? Is this what we want our country to be?

Now, lets talk about how #ForcedDeportation will absolutely crush several key industrial and agricultural sectors - possibly tanking the #eonomy. Among others, #Construction #Farming #Vineyards, #hospitality #retail #FastFood all depend to some degree on #immigrants and #immigration. So, BTW, does the #tech sector. Checked out the number of Indian-American #NRI CEOs there are at the top of tech (and a bunch of other industries tbh).

The African leaders’ delegation mostly interested in suspending Putin’s arrest warrant

“Trust comes in small steps: And let’s make one of the points the termination of the ICC warrant issued for Putin’s arrest ..."
