🌿 Beneath the Oak Sky | Chapter 1

  The train slid into the station with a low groan, its wheels screeching like it hated stopping in small towns. Julian Rivers stood from his seat and reached for the leather duffel overhead — the same one he'd used to leave this place twelve years ago. Willowmere, Georgia. Population: 2,413. Humidity: unbearable. Memories: too many. He stepped off the train and was immediately swallowed by the heat — thick, sticky, and perfumed with honeysuckle and nostalgia. The kind of heat that clung to your collar and made you remember things you tried hard to forget. A boy with a crooked grin once kissed a girl under an old oak tree here. That same boy ran from everything. Now, he was back. And the tree — and the girl — were still here. Julian dragged his bag through the cracked pavement of Main Street, past the diner that still served peach pie on Thursdays, past the hardware store that hadn’t changed its window display in twenty years.

Trump Aides Push to List Over 6,000 Living Immigrants as Dead in Federal Records

  Trump Aides Push to List Over 6,000 Living Immigrants as Dead in Federal Records In a highly controversial move, former Trump administration aides reportedly directed the Social Security Administration (SSA) to classify over 6,000 living immigrants as deceased.

U.S. and Iran Agree to Second Round of Nuclear Talks Amid Renewed Diplomatic Push

  U.S. and Iran Agree to Second Round of Nuclear Talks Amid Renewed Diplomatic Efforts In a notable shift toward potential diplomatic progress, the United States and Iran have agreed to hold a second round of indirect nuclear negotiations, following what both sides described as a “respectful and constructive” initial exchange in Oman. The talks, which took place in Muscat earlier this week, mark the first substantial engagement between the two nations on nuclear issues in nearly a year. With tensions still simmering over Iran’s expanding nuclear program and U.S. sanctions, the decision to reconvene on April 19 signals cautious optimism on both sides. Diplomatic sources confirmed that the discussions were primarily indirect, with messages relayed through Omani officials, though a brief direct interaction between U.S. and Iranian representatives was reported near the end of the first round. While no breakthrough was announced, participants described the tone as “measured” and “se...
