I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

Venezuela remains one of the few Latin American states that has resisted neoliberal recolonisation despite a deadly economic blockade. Maduro is no saint, he governs a state with its own violence / contradictions, yet the campaign against him has nothing to do with any so-called defence of democracy

The western media always refers to “the hostages” as those held by Hamas.

Apparently they are too lazy to access the readily available evidence,
or so imbued with an attitude of dehumanising and ignoring Palestinians (aka racism),
that they rarely mention the hundreds of hostages held by Israel.

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.

Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

The Supreme Court is headed toward a radically new vision of unlimited presidential power

Recent rulings indicate that the high court is leaning toward expanding the type of presidential power that is more emblematic of dictatorship than democracy.

No, WaPo, we are not doing a repeat of creating social pressure for gay people to get straight married, and no, it's not, "redefining what it means to be in a relationship."

Also, could that kiss in the thumbnail be any more awkward?

He’s gay. She’s straight. They’re happily married.

Meet the couples who are redefining what it means to be in a relationship, including those in gay-straight and same-sex platonic marriages.

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

The Washington Post is using bothsidesism to justify everything Trump is doing.

From yesterday on political purges in the military. They compared it to covid vaccine policies.

Alt text:
A screenshot of a paragraph from an article with white text on a black background. The text discusses Hegseth’s actions since taking office, stating that he has challenged traditional norms by saying as recently as last week that generals and admirals should resign if they don’t support the Trump administration’s policies. It compares this to the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, which led to the dismissal of thousands of troops.

Statement from Chief Judge Virginia M. Kendal
"Providing access to justice is at the heart of the Court's mission and critical for our democracy.
Maintaining access to the courthouse for anyone who seeks redress remains a top priority of
the court. It is a core principle to promote our rule of law," said Chief Judge Virginia Kendall.
As the Chief District Court Judge in the Northern District of illinois, I chair the Dirksen
Courthouse Building Security Committee and work closely with the United States Marshals
Service. During the past several weeks, I have received frequent updates on matters impacting
the Court's operations to allow for proceedings to continue safely. Proceedings are and have
been open to the public and the media.
The United States Marshals Service has jurisdiction over the interior and exterior security at the
Dirksen Courthouse. While the Federal Protective Service has authority in most federal
buildings, the United States Marshals Service has that primary responsibility at the Dirksen
Courthouse.
trust and rely upon the men and women of the United States Marshals Service
and the Court Security Officers to provide security at the Dirksen Courthouse; this includes the
perimeter of the building. At no point did I, nor did the Building Security Committee, authorize
or request the National Guard's assistance to secure the Dirksen Courthouse.
With my approval, additional security measures have been implemented to allow court
operations to proceed, but those measures do not include the National Guard at the Dirksen
Courthouse. The Courthouse remains open and accessible for all matters including hearings,
jury trials, and naturalization ceremonies. The District Court Clerk's Office will be open during
normal business hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and in-person proceedings will continue as
scheduled by the assigned judge.

Under the Trump administration, fashion is losing its playfulness and taking cues from authoritarian aesthetics and conservatism.

How Trump-Era Politics Are Reshaping Fashion: From Barbiecore to Workwear

In this reported op-ed, writer Kelsey Stiegman connects the rise of MAGA politics to a darker fashion shift — where self-expression gives way to self-preservation.

Un policier condamné à Lyon pour des violences sur un adolescent de 14 ans

Un gardien de la paix a été condamné à huit mois de sursis, à la suite de violences commises contre un adolescent de Vaulx-en-Velin, en 2020. Une décision judiciaire qui étrille le fonctionnement de la « police des polices » locale, qui avait écarté la responsabilité du policier. Celui-ci compte faire appel.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.
