NEW from me for @immcouncil.org's blog. I dig into the Deportation Data Project's information and shed some light on Trump's mass deportation project, more than one year into his latest term in office. You'll want to check this one out! www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/ice-arr...
A country without a navy has sunk or disabled one-third of all Russian warships in the Black Sea.

This is a russian drone falling on the city of Dnipro in broad daylight today, Friday. There is no military purpose to bombing a city, especially during rush hour, yet russia does so anyway, like the terrorists they are!
Watch how Ukrainian Yak-52 crew battles Russian Shahed drones:
ZELENSKY: Virtually every day, at both political and military levels, we communicate with our partners to strengthen air defense. We're seeking anti-ballistic capabilities and moving toward producing air defense [systems, missiles, etc] in Ukraine and together with our partners.
Shit. Unexpected sound of air defense made me jump in my chair 😅
Ceasefire’s going about as well as a Trump casino. I seem to remember Kamala Harris saying something about dictators eating Trump for lunch. They sure chewed him up and spit him out on this one. Art of the deal, indeed.
A reporter asked Hegseth whether the U.S. still encourages the Iranian people to rise up against their government, and what the two-week ceasefire means for that.
His answer went against the administration’s claim that regime change has already occurred. trib.al/qKlgj3Y

According to the NY Times, in what looks like a desperate (and ultimately failed) attempt to keep from being fired by Trump, Pam Bondi opened a revenge-fueled, vindictive investigating into Cassidy Hutchinson!
Pam has earned herself membership in the "Donald Trump Disbarred Lawyers Club."
Pete Hegseth: “Nobody makes a better deal than President Trump.”

Emmanuel Macron: "In today's world, I discern a third way. A way that brings together Korea, Europe, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, and Australia. This is a format for countries that wish neither to depend on China nor to automatically align
🇸🇾🇺🇦 #Zelenskyy met with Syria’s leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Just a reminder: Syria was one of Russia’s biggest strategic assets for more than half a century. This was not just a humiliation for Moscow - they wiped their feet on it.
This is psychotic. The President of the United States needs to get help. Totally unhinged and extremely dangerous.
We could’ve had this intelligent supremely qualified leader in the White House instead of a dangerous psychopath. I’ll never regret voting for her.
Ukraine hit a Lukoil refinery and oil terminal in Russia overnight... even as allies have asked Kyiv to hold off on refinery strikes while the Iran war keeps global fuel prices elevated. Ukraine has dismissed the ask, maintaining that these facilities directly fuel Russia's war effort.

Good moaning …..
No one is allowed to say they didn’t vote for this. You voted for a vulgar, narcissistic, incompetent, mentally ill, bigoted, unfit, incompetent, maleficent person to run the United States of America. You knew exactly what you were doing. Stop pretending.
A lot more chatter about the 25th amendment than some expected on this Easter Sunday …

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
