AM😷NGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…

*The Free Choice E-zine does not support terrorism, no matter what the “cause” or alleged “justification”. Thus we will only be posting news items in this section whenever terrorists are brought to justice.

TWITTER TROUBLE???
*Potential new owner Elon Musk wants to take the company “private” and make sure ALL users are Humans! (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

THE CLIMATE CHANGE CHRONICLES…🌐

😢PASSING PARADE…
*The innocent lives lost during the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.
*Drummer🥁 Ric Parnell (Atomic Rooster, Spinal Tap) has passed away.

*Actor/producer/director Norman Lloyd (St. Elsewhere and much more over a decades long career) has taken his last bow on life's stage.

WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…
THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*Former “President” Trump declared a “national emergency” to build his border wall, separating
families upon apprehension. President Joseph Biden nullified the emergency, but other matters pertaining to these issues still have to be dealt with.
*No public education for (undocumented) immigrant children??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious ongoing issue. Especially since no one has yet to full y discuss the health and safety of all the “detainees” as well as the various costs under Donald Trump of separating families and who is truly responsible for the deaths of FOUR “detainees” (known to date), let alone if anyone might actually be making a profit from this situation.
