Desert Storm 3 coming up

Donald Trump says Venezuela ‘illegally took’ US oil and ‘we want it back’ – live

WTF?! Why on earth would Venezuala, an oil producing nation, take US oil?! Unless this ridiculous President thinks the US owns Venezuela's oil (which would be too ridiculous to be true with any other President but not Trump). Shows what his attacks on Venezuela are really about though.

And also, again and again — people need to know this! — I get these messages too:

ICE started to gather, but dispersed when too many observers showed up.

ICE vehicle headed back to base after being tailed in circles for an hour.

ICE started abducting someone, but let them go as the gathered crowd got larger and larger.

These people •really• do not want to be observed. Typical bullies: they cosplay tough guys, they waggle their gear around, but they •behave• like they’re afraid.

News spreads like wildfire via private messages from neighbor to neighbor, and there’s •so• much that’s no making the news:

Person abducted on this block. Convoy of ICE vehicles spotted on this street. Observer shoved by ICE. Person abducted on that block. Observer threatened with a weapon by ICE.

ALL DAY EVERY DAY

I am pleased to report that, unlike the Star Tribune, local residents are very much stepping up to meet the moment.

Here’s a condensed version of a letter I sent to the Star Tribune last week.

I know that the editorial staff was considering publishing it, because they contacted me about it. Ultimately, however, they opted not to.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This happened when the temperature (actual air temperature, not “feels like”) was around -4°F / -20°C.

Just to be clear.

You might be thinking that this is some unusual incident, that the press is cherry-picking and dramatizing the most sensational events.

I live in Minneapolis. The location in this article is pretty close to me. And I am telling you:

The press is •under•-covering what’s happening here. ICE is doing absolutely batshit stuff all the time, every single day, all over the city.

It is exhausting. 🧵

housebound & I have for over a year. No one brought it up until just few days ago. I am now registered housebound but the lists for vaccination are closed &apparently the surgery are out of vaccines.
The receptionist said get someone to help me into a car (I can't climb into a car). I am not a child you can just pick up & put in a car nor am I under weight. No one would be able to manhandle me into a car. So I can't get vaccinated through no fault of my own

Its all over the news. NHS push to get those eligible for flu vaccine vaccinated. So you'd think they would have vaccines available. Wrong. Not if your surgery is Abbeywell in Romsey at any rate.

I have been denied a vaccine in spite of being eligible. I am housebound but when I enquired when they were doing vaccine sessions how as a housebound person I would get a vaccine. I was told I'd be contacted. What I wasn't told you need to be registered Housebound &no one checked. My GP knew I was
