“IOC disqualifies Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych over helmet.”
A helmet.
Honouring victims of an illegal war and genocide.
That’s not “politics.” That’s basic human morality. That’s grief. Sadly that’s Ukrainian life and culture now.
Shame on you IOC.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

While Trump does nothing to lower the cost of living for you, he's making it even easier for billionaires to get away with cheating on their taxes.

Contact your Senators, yes ESPECIALLY the GOP senators, and tell them to stop funding ICE. Tell them to get Liam medical care & move all of the children out of these detention centers.

Trump is coming after all of us. All of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who seek accountability and challenge his murderous goons.
All across America we must rise up against this oppression, as peacefully but as definitively as we can.

ICE shot and killed a 37-year-old, Lex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse.
DHS claims he approached ICE agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them.
