“The rise of cease-fires as the world’s default response to war raises the question of whether or not we have abandoned the pursuit of peace itself as a political goal,” Linda Kinstler writes.

Correct severe brain trauma injuries are life threatening.

I was surprised for myself to find out this past year some Americans are truly dismissive of this fact, depending who the individual subjected to the severe brain trauma is.
Two Japanese boxers have died from injuries sustained in separate fights on the same card during an event in Tokyo earlier this month.

Shigetoshi Kotari died on Friday, a day before it was announced Hiromasa Urakawa had passed away.

A panel of federal judges in New Jersey on Tuesday blocked Alina Habba from staying in the job as the state’s interim U.S. attorney and instead invoked a rarely used power to select a candidate of their own to take over as the state’s top federal prosecutor.

HUGE admission by El Salvador here; it completely puts to lie the Trump admin’s repeated claims in court that it has no control over people sent to El Salvador to be imprisoned without trial.

El Salvador told the United Nations definitively; these people are being held under U.S. jurisdiction.
BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

So weird that Dems who said Trump won because Dems weren’t focusing enough on young voters and kitchen table issues are actively opposing a candidate who won the NYC mayoral primary doing just that. Almost as if that’s not really the concern…

What the National Democratic Party leaders and most Democrats cannot accept and NEED to move on from if only to keep an appearance of two parties is Biden was not a viable candidate. Harris’s candidacy was too late.

Abject failure by Democrats.
