- Here’s an actual South African refugee in the US - my late grandfather Harry Schwarz. The US rejected his asylum as a refugee from Germany in 1933. SA accepted him. He eventually made it to the US in 1991 - as SA ambassador during the transition to democracy after fighting apartheid for 43 years.
- Love the lil flex when they realise they just became the most famous bird in the world.
- Reporter: Thousands of American dock workers and truck drivers are worried about losing their jobs because of tariffs. Trump: "That's good. That means we lose less money."
- Trump has designated 8 May as "Victory Day for WW2." Europe commemorates 8 May 1945 as "Victory in Europe Day" because it's the day that Nazi Germany was defeated. To proclaim it as America's "Victory Day" insults the memory of thousands of Americans who died fighting Japan until 2 September 1945.
- Would MAGA and the right-wing media have stopped talking about Biden’s ‘cognitive decline’ if he won the election? No. So you don’t have to stop talking about Trump’s accelerating derangement and shitshow of a government. Elections should not be events that silence or gag people in a democracy.
