⚡️'Russia will hit your other cheek as well' — Ukraine rebukes Slovak FM's call to 'perhaps forgive' Moscow.

"Russia's sense of impunity is the root cause of its crimes," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote. "It's naive to expect a criminal to stop if their crime is forgiven instead of punished."

Nearly five years ago, the Holiday Farm Fire leveled Blue River, an old, scenic mountain town once thriving with mining and timber business. Since then, it's been a long, slow process to rebuild and put the community back together, piece by piece.
Nearing a somber anniversary, Blue River rebuilds towards a brighter tomorrow
Much of the landscape around Blue River remains charred from the Holiday Farm Fire five years that leveled the town. More than half of the 500 homes destroyed still need to be rebuilt, and so does the local economy.

This ruling is problematic because it treats LGBTQ identities as optional or inappropriate, reinforcing stigma. Education should reflect diverse realities, not cater to exclusion. All kids deserve to feel seen, safe, and respected in the classroom. 🌈🫶

To bring the Raiders to Vegas, the city earmarked $750m of public funds to build a new football stadium. The money was raised from a tax on tourists, not residents. Bipartisan opponents wondered why education and housing never get that kind of cash.

Not just birthright citizenship but any EO this administration comes up with, whether it violates the Constitution or not. Thankfully, I live in a state which is likely to protect the rights of their people, but it shouldn’t be like this.
