Trouble finding food in West Africa

lundi 18 mai 2020 à 02:00

42 million people in West Africa will soon have trouble finding food.

Everyone: call for firing the thugs that killed Breonna Taylor, and dropping charges against Kenneth Walker.

When thugs on a raid, don't announce that they are thugs, it should be entirely lawful to treat them as burglars or assassins.
