This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

Anyone who reads Time's recent interview with Trump would clearly conclude that the biggest story on Earth, this day and every day, is that the President of the United States is seriously unwell and allowed to continue in office - unfit, untethered, and unchecked. Unbelievable.

Potato chips pulled for containing unauthorized Colombian pork
Over 250 packages of potato chips have been recalled because they contain pork from Colombia. See why.

The quoted post by Ryan Rozbiani states:
"Yemen Hits Saudi Arabia's East-West Oil Pipeline for First Time
This comes as BRENT CRUDE Crosses $109"
Beneath the text is a split satellite view showing a massive plume of dark black smoke billowing across the landscape in Saudi Arabia between Medina and Ha'il.
TheIntelFrog adds:
"Might be a good idea to fill your vehicles up now.
Taking this pipeline out removes 5M barrels per day from global supply. Saudi Arabia produced just under 6.25M barrels per day in August."

Gloria Steinem was a social activist and feminist icon who spent decades advocating for civil rights and equality. As a trailblazing journalist in the 1960s and 1970s, her work brought national attention to critical issues including gender-based workplace discrimination and abortion rights.
