Zelenskyy: “The Russians didn't allow the American delegation to arrive by plane, even though our airports were ready.”

In July, ICE kidnapped 700 people in Washington State.

They are taking people with no criminal records at grocery stores, gas stations, and on their way to pick up their kids at school. This is cruel, plain and simple. ICE must be dismantled.
WA ICE arrests reach new high, just-released data shows
The figures confirm what Washington's immigrant advocates have been seeing on the ground from Seattle to Shelton to Yakima. It's been nonstop, said one.

One more thing you can pattern recognize from the 1930s.
Kash Patel would not have made it through the first stage (of many) of FBI screening. He knows it, and it makes him

The problem with Sportswashing.

You’ll find it at the FIFA World Cup, Tour de France, and even at your local race.

We’ve found 42 🏃‍♀️ races worldwide with oily headline sponsors.

24 gas/oil ⛽️, 14 airline ✈️ 4 car 🚘

Running must not be used to distract people from sponsors’ bad practices.
What is sportswashing and why is it such a big problem?
Companies and governments are exploiting our love of sport to clean up their image.
