Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

Dinner companion of President Trump* says what?

*Giving him his official title and name, as irritating as that may be, is important when noting his willingness to mis with pigs like this.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

This needs to be read, and attention needs to be paid. We can't let ourselves get numb to this.

I should also note that while they may not admit it publicly, this is the world Alberta separatists want.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Damn, what a photo.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

A reminder that this is not actually an apology.
Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said that he’s sorry if some have been offended by anti-immigrant comments. Ratcliffe faced criticism by both political leaders and fans after he said the U.K. had been “colonized’’ by immigrants.

With the awful news today and a certain subset of people piling on because they're assholes, I thought it worthwhile to say that the new Beverly Glenn-Copeland album, Laughter in Summer, is a thing of sublime beauty. beverlyglenncopeland.com

Edmonton: Lower taxes!
Infill (lowers costs), 🚲 lanes (reduce expensive 🚗 dependency).

Also Edmonton: No, not like that.

Edmonton: Make this city more vibrant!
Infill brings people in to shrinking nhbds, including renters, just like vibrant cities like Montreal.

Also Edmonton: No, not like that.

My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Hello! I see you've decided to conflate a human being being an evil fascist apologist committing crimes and perpetuating fraud with (checks notes) being a woman. Perhaps you would like to not do this.
Bondi is clearly going through menopause. “…mood changes and "brain fog," often begin during perimenopause (mid-40s to early 50s) - along with irrational moods and temper tantrums

My “Letter to Generation Zed” essay was a response to exactly this kind of thing. We shouldn’t pity our children and grandchildren; we should envy the exciting and productive project of rebuilding the ecological and democratic world they’ll inherit, much as the children of 1946 did

You can’t have an abortion but you can kill your grown daughter if she disagrees with you
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

One of my favorite concerts I've ever been to was getting to see Tengger Cavalry live in a tiny club in Charlotte: a Mongolian folk metal band, featuring traditional instruments and throat singing.

I am always struck by how these people think everyone must be secretly as small-hearted as they.
Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?
