Staggering atrocities in Sudan.

Following the mass slaughter of nearly 500 men, women, and children at a maternity hospital, UN officials say: "The situation is simply horrifying... El Fasher, already the scene of catastrophic levels of human suffering, has descended into an even darker hell."

Reform are a one-trick-pony that can be defeated

The salience of immigration as an issue facing the UK is a result of media exposure and political discourse, rather than first-hand experiences.

This is clear political prosecution and government overreach meant to scare protestors by going after resistance leaders and political candidates.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

Seeing a salmon in these waters is like looking into a night sky that has been dark for as long as you can remember. Forever, you've read and heard older people talk about tiny lights that once twinkled above - but to you, the sky has always been dark.

Until one day, you see a single star. 🌎

Only Michael Buble acquits himself well in this article.

Screenshot of the article, which reads: “My beloved Blue Jays are going to go up against my hero. I’m conflicted,” Bublé said on the Stephen A. Smith Show podcast. He confirmed that “number one, my heart is Canadian” although he did add that there is “something deeply sensual” about watching Ohtani play.

I still don’t know if Schneider is the better manager in this series. Some of the pitcher rotation in game 3, for example. I think your previous criticism is fair.

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.

Her death was ruled a suicide.

But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

To test this out I asked a woman I am married to. (We live in Canada, for context.)

Screenshot of a conversation. One person texts, “Hypothetically, if you heard that someone running for MP said, when he was 29 years old, that to prevent rape, women need to fix their own behaviour and stop getting drunk, would you vote for this man?”

A second person replies, “I would kill him in the streets.”

You can look at my profile. I’m not saying we all think like this. Just for some men this is academic; for women it’s not. (Also I think I can make an educated guess)

A senator uses their judgment to make legislative decisions. This man (at 29, the age Biden became a senator) displayed his judgment about 1 of the most egregious crimes a person can commit. His judgment was that women don't have the same right to security of person that men do. Seems disqualifying.

Many men (imo) look at the word "qualifications" and think of his resume. The misogyny at the grown-up age of 29, the SS tattoo--these may be caveats, but they do not "disqualify" him in the way that the resume items "qualify" him. I don't see women having this confusion.

People need a day off from baseball. Not the players (well maybe the players, too) but the fans. And why does it have to be mandatory? Like, I don’t think it’s right that you get a fine for not watching the Blue Jays take down Shohei Ohtani and his various unlikeable accomplices.

This is good to remember in Canada, where both provincial and federal governments constantly equate communism with fascism and erect monuments to “victims of communism” who always turn out to be Nazis (the total losers who are the main victims of communism)
