    Take a Tour of Ivanka Trump's Childhood Bedroom in New York City 💰 🏙️ 👑

    If you have any friends or family who were at all into Qanon or Pizzagate, send them this video and ask them about her expression at 30 seconds in; see if the people who care so much about child abuse can actually recognise it when they see it.

    US suspends green card lottery scheme after Brown shooting (BBC)

    President Donald Trump has suspended the US green card lottery scheme in the wake of a mass shooting at Brown University last week in which two people were killed.

    The suspect, a Portuguese man who was found dead on Thursday, entered the country through the diversity lottery immigrant visa programme (DV1) in 2017 and was granted a green card.

    It was much too optimistic.

    There was a time, after that doomsday climate report from the UN and the successful Paris Agreement, where most western countries tried to outdo each other in promising deep greenhouse gas cuts. The 2030 deadline was so far ahead that few of the sitting politicians would likely be in office by then, so it would be someone else's problem, and they had no problem making ambitious promises they knew couldn't be kept.

    On top of that, Covid happened. Then Russia. Then Trump (again, and somehow worse than the first time he happened). The inevitable became inevitabler.

    Turkish fighter jets shoot down 'out of control' drone over Black Sea (Euronews)

    Turkey shot down an "out of control" drone that approached its airspace from the Black Sea, according to the defence ministry.

    F-16 fighter planes were scrambled after the drone was detected, the Turkish defence ministry said in a statement late on Monday.

    "To avoid any potential harm, it was shot down in a safe area outside of populated area," it said. The statement gave no further details of the location or time of the incident.

    Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.

    At least 90% of what he posts on social media is absolute bullshit that can be safely ignored, but I wish the media would take the time to explain the small part with a grain of truth. Is this referring to the nationalisation of the oil industry?
