Emergency Lawsuit Filed to Stop Trump Admin Meeting That Could INTENTIONALLY Drive a Whale Species to Extinction

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby announced the company will cut flights by about 5%

"The reality is, jet fuel prices have more than doubled in the last three weeks," Kirby said in a statement.
Thousands of non-Mexican migrants deported from the US
are being left in southern Mexican cities far from the border,
often without legal status or resources.
Many are elderly, ill, or have lived most of their lives in the US,
and now face unsafe conditions and limited access to aid.
Human rights advocates warn the policy violates international protections and leaves deportees in a 'quasi-stateless limbo.'
Cases include a trans woman deported to Honduras despite court findings of danger,
and a Salvadoran man protected under the "Convention Against Torture" who was later jailed after being returned to El Salvador.
Aid workers describe deportees as elderly, ill, and abandoned in violent areas,
with some dying shortly after arrival due to lack of medical care.

The devastating toll of Iran’s counterattack on U.S. service members after Donald Trump’s surprise strikes on Iran is even more severe than previously known.
A deadly attack that killed six U.S. service members has also left dozens of others suffering from traumatic brain injuries,
memory loss,
and other “urgent” health issues
at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany,
the largest U.S. military hospital abroad,
CBS News reported Wednesday.
As of Tuesday night, more than 30 military personnel remained hospitalized at Landstuhl and other military hospitals
following the strike on a tactical operations center at the Shuaiba port outside Kuwait City on March 1.
The 20 who arrived at Landstuhl on Tuesday have injuries designated “urgent” by the military, according to CBS.

ICE agents on Thursday pulled an accused MS-13 shotcaller out of a downtown federal courtroom,

I hope every one of my american colleagues, including the ones living outside of the US, are phoning and emailing their reps off the hook, especially the ones who aren't directly impacted by it.
But yes, let's create a fancy new gizmo that drives on it's own and creates a dependence on the manufacturer and whether or not they support it in the future. Because if it breaks, what then?
If they want to do something; make electric wheel chairs affordable, safer, repairable, and maintainable. But there is not enough money to be made there, so... Guess which option they'll pick.
OK, I will stop but ooh I am seething right now.
