"The son of an American citizen & military veteran – but who has no citizenship to any country – was deported from the US to Jamaica in late May.

Jermaine Thomas’s deportation, recently reported on by the Austin Chronicle, is one of a growing number of immigration cases involving military service members’ relatives or even veterans themselves who have been ensnared in the Trump administration’s mass deportation program."

😳"‘Are you from #California?’ Political advisor said he was detained at airport after confirming he’s from LA

Veteran #LosAngeles political consultant Rick Taylor said he was pulled aside by U.S. Customs & Border Protection agents while returning from a trip abroad, asked if he was from CA, then separated from his family & put in a holding room for nearly an hour.

This comes in the wake of the arrest of Sen. Alex Padilla.."

There you have it folks: After the Russian Central Bank said, Russia was on the brink of recession, Putin now says Russia will have to reduce its war expenses.

This comes, as Europe is increasing its investment in winning the war.

This man knows he has lost. He just cannot admit it.

Extremadura, Spain is expected to be hotter than Death Valley.

That's uninhabitable if and when it becomes a constant temperature.

Good job humans.

Begbie's Memory Tape

Reason To Believe – Rod Stewart

"Most 'nutters' are always looking for someone to save them, and Begbie is no exception. He secretly yearns for that one woman who can change his life and give him ‘a reason to believe’. Then, of course, he can blame them for falling off that pedestal he’s placed them on."

We have all lived through another week of hundreds of hungry, starving people shot at and killed seeking food for their families in a horrible real life enactment of #SquidGame

There is also a violence in what is being done to us, as observers. Seeing heartbreaking pictures like that of a killed 14y old with a flour bags still secured to his wrist. But even worse: becoming numb, complicrly numb.

Never, ever, accept this as normal. Call it out, every day. #Gaza

"The early camps were not meant for long-term use, and those who ran them did not aim to murder their prisoners. However, most showed a distinct disregard for their inmates health and welfare. Whilst the majority of those who were imprisoned in 1933 survived, the conditions in which they were held were horrific and inhumane.

Across almost all camps there was a lack of facilities, such as heating, beds and washrooms. Where these were available, they usually had to be shared between hundreds of prisoners. As a result, disease was common."

A protester jumps for safety as she emerges from a narrow alley while Kenyan police officers strike her with whips and clubs during a planned protest marking the first anniversary of the storming of the parliament. At least 16 people were killed and 400 injured as a nationwide demonstration to honour those killed during last year’s anti-government protests turned chaotic, with police clashing with protesters in different parts of the country

Lalo Schifrin, who composed the "Mission: Impossible" theme, the score for "Cool Hand Luke" and more has died at age 93. A jazz pianist and classical conductor, he won four Grammys and was nominated for six Oscar over the course of his 65-year career. The "Mission: Impossible" theme was described as “only the most contagious tune ever heard by mortal ears” by New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane and hit No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968. Here's more about his life and career from @AssociatedPress.

Had Wolf-Leib waited, his family likely would have been murdered by the Nazis along with all but seven of the 2,000 Jews who remained in Antopol. .....
I would encourage Stephen to ask himself if the chanting, torch-bearing Nazis of Charlottesville, whose support his boss seems to court so cavalierly, do not envision a similar fate for him.
