An Oxford professor who is reported to have raped a junior academic still holds position at the university Saïd Business School. The rhetoric of men losing their jobs in the face of rape allegations is simply not true.

"This is the situation I am in. And I negotiate for PAC-3 missiles, which arrive a day after we are almost plunged into a blackout.

I can publicly say that this is a delay. But why by one day? They should have arrived a month earlier."

"We are not ready for compromises that lead to a violation of our territorial integrity.

The UAE provided Russia with the identities of US intelligence officers.
Is the UAE really a superb ally?
The United Arab Emirates assists in Russian sanctions evasion, helps China technologically, and harbors serious criminals.

Ian Austin flew from Pennsylvania to Minnesota to join the protests and can't understand why more veterans, who took an oath to the constitution, aren't out there with him. He was arrested, detained and released. He is still fighting for his country against an enemy from within. #RESIST

There's something funny at American right-wing talking heads saying "millions of deportations occurred under Biden & Obama, so why are people protesting now?"

They're flat-out admitting that Obama & Biden weren't the open borders commies they claimed, and all their messaging on it was a lie.

Trump will attempt to corrupt the midterm elections anyway possible, to avoid the inevitable articles of impeachment waiting for him, should the GOP lose. Which they would in a free and fair election.

It very much looks like the US Government has just abducted two people from Scotland hours after our Court of Session ordered that they not be removed.

The US is a rogue state. It's time to evict their troops from their de-facto base at (publicly owned) Prestwick airport.

The Ukrainian lesson to Canada is becoming more relevant by the day: once your neighbour expresses interest in conquering you, debates about regional sovereignty are no longer purely domestic and about federalism; they’re about the survival of the whole state. More on the parallel below…

As Greg points out, the Times thinks they're doing a dunk on Pretti, when actually they're providing evidence of *motive.* The ICE agents should be charged with Murder 1.
So the homicide was premeditated. Planned in advance. Agents knew they wanted to kill him, so they prepared for the opportunity and took it.

Thanks for helping NYT.
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.
