It keeps happening ... for Putin, it's really important to try to help Trump' ... There's a lot of spy stuff 8/

@stuartpstevens.bsky.social: the great untold story which now is being told, thanks to David, is the Russian influence on the Republican party & the compromising of the Republican party by the Russians It's unlike anything in history I don't know any parallels. Certainly not in American history 2/

French court classifies 1943 Nazi-era roundup as crime against humanity
Some 20,000 people were displaced in the raids, carried out in January 1943 on orders from the Nazis, with the Vichy regime's active collaboration, in an area of Marseille's historic center that was a known hub for people of immigrant origin.
