During the Vietnam War, the military measured success by "body count," resulting in soldiers killing civilians in order to reach their death quota. By imposing quotas on ICE, it's unsurprising the Trump administration has caused agents to just brutally round up whoever they can.

10th grader, Arnaldo BAZAN and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over. The agent slammed Bazan’s father to the ground and put the teenager in a chokehold. Arnaldo is 16 years old and a US citizen‼️

How to lose the 21st century to China: 1. Unilaterally disarm regarding the soft power competition by ending economic aid and international media agencies. 2. Impose tariffs irrationally on everyone. 3. Invade Greenland, break up NATO, and isolate the US from the entire world.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

All this crap generated about Greenland and Venezuela is just to distract from the Epstein Files, which have still not been released. In defiance of the law, might I add. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Trump is raising tariffs on 8 NATO allies because they rightly support Denmark's sovereignty in Greenland. Destroying our closest alliances to take Greenland — which Denmark lets us use freely already — is insane. Congress must say NO.

It's clear @sussanley and her LNP rabble wanted legislation that banned *ONLY* antisemitism. But here's the thing. Such laws would be unconstitutional as we cannot have laws that affect only one faith and not others. Ley was too thick to realise it, and here we are. #auspol

Brilliant article. The Coalition cynically demanded stronger religious hate speech laws and are now opposing the very laws they demanded because these laws are likely to also prevent racial vilification. They’re also opposing stronger gun laws. #auspol https://t.co/QP1tPbU2pM

Federal Liberals are discovering the price of having been so brazen in their politicisation of the Bondi terror attack and many appear to have buyers' remorse.
