Great article about the amazing Palestinian robotics team. For years my dream as a filmmaker was to portray Palestinians unrelated to war and occupation, but I was never allowed to do it. I'm always so happy when journalists tell these stories instead. Thank you Ben.

Next week, 5 teens from Palestine will head to Panama to compete in one of the world’s largest youth robotics competitions.

The goal? To win—and teach STEM to their peers displaced by Israel's war and occupation of Palestine.

The quip about "jungle Asians" didn't come from her Singaporean friend. It came from Ali Wong.

Amazing things are happening in Ireland, please God.

Ireland is on the verge of electing a Sinn Fein-backed president who has described England and America as warmongering countries that cannot be trusted

“It all happened in a second. He ran in and said, “I’m sorry, I have an order.”
I didn’t even understand anything, he just opened fire.”

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, on Standing with Immigrants
Oct. 21, 2025
My dear brothers and sisters, today I speak to you as your shepherd, but also as a fellow pilgrim who shares the pain of many of our immigrant communities. Families are being torn apart. Children are left in fear, and communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants.
We stand with a mother who crosses borders to feed her children. We stand with the father who labors in silence to build a better future. We stand with the young person who dreams of safety and a better future. Our parishes and schools will not turn away those who seek comfort, and we will not be silent when dignity is denied in the enforcement of the law, it is essential that we respect the dignity of every human being.
Now I want to say something directly to those immigrants without documents. Most of you have been here for years. You have worked hard. You have raised families. You have contributed to this nation. You have earned our respect. As the Archbishop of Chicago, I will insist that you be treated with dignity. Americans should not forget that we all come from immigrant families.
You are our brothers and sisters. We stand with you.
God bless you all.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Republicans are lazy.

They gerrymander their way into power and never lift a finger again. Do you think they have ever put a petition together and worked hard enough to get something on the ballot and then knocked doors to get voters out so it will pass?

No. They are lazy freeloading sloths.

The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge

Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is
