Fear grips migrant families on both sides of the California-Mexico border over Trump deportations
‘We are very scared’: Fear grips migrant families on both sides of the California-Mexico border over Trump deportations
Many still hold out hope of gaining asylum, but they know a future in the U.S. is uncertain.pperron@bayareanewsgroup.com (The Mercury News)
this is definitely hitting a fevered pitch; i've had relatives that i hadn't spoken to since i came out decades ago reach out to me for help for a friend and i'm proud of them for not shunning the migrants & refugees like too many of the mexicans like do and swallowing their pride to talk to me on someone else's behalf.
it's a pity that i'm leaving my job; the disgustingly fat paychecks would help A LOT rn.

"The Australian company has been working for years at Mali’s Syama gold mine, a large-scale operation in the country’s southwest. It holds an 80% stake in mine while the Malian government holds the remaining 20%."

China has leapfrogged in electrification to become the first major electrostate

Communism is Soviet power plus electrification of the whole country
IDK I wouldn't really call it an electrostate at this point. It still relies on fossil fuels. It'll become one but it's just not the case right now.
Edit: like until China is producing so much green energy that it's selling significant amounts of green hydrogen and derived fuels to the rest of the world I think likening it to a petrostate is just incorrect.
China still uses fossil fuels, but I think it's fair to call it an electrostate at this point.

in reply to technocrit • • •Well, for him to say it at a "joint Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation summit"
Said summit has to occur first. Don't you think?
Your comment is so uneducated I don't even know where to start. Saudi takes any opportunity then can to criticize Israel. You seriously think THIS is the first time they say anything?
