ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

Anyone aware of America's relationship to its own indigenous peoples would strive not to repeat the past. In light of current events, we invite our readers to learn more about the autonomous territory of Greenland and the vibrant culture of its Indigenous peoples.

Fun facts: your AI-generated peer review is totally useless to both the publisher and author; it’s theft of their intellectual property; and it’s obvious when you’re doing it. If you don’t have time to write it yourself, don’t accept the review.
It was just a week-long ride not that far from UB but still an amazing experience!
Hoping to snag a copy! Had the opportunity to ride in Mongolia this summer
