It's not mind-boggling. When the POTUS screws over and alienates every single ally and partner, you don't think it has downstream impact?

This wreaks of white privilege. Nothing but the finest at the ivy league schools. But then again, their role models get away with it, so they can too.

I went into work early and I was at my desk. I had decided to look at CNN during a quick break. I saw the mention of a plane crash, before the second had hit. Watched in terror as everything unfolded. Remember watching TV in the fitness center with colleagues when the first tower collapsed.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

He's a conman. He knew he had to market against fossil fuels to sell Teslas and get rich. Now that people are seeing him for what he is, he's just trying to make more money in other ways. He doesn't care about anything but getting more money and power.

I actually think it's part of their job so no issue with them being on the decoy place. However, non government employees should not be put at risk.

Trump math: Oil companies invested $5 million in his inauguration. Then they saw $23 billion in excess war profits. And you got a gas bill that was $857 higher than last year.

I love capturing those moments where London Underground trains line up perfectly with station posters. With a little patience and a bit of luck, you can end up with some wonderfully amusing and unexpected shots.
