“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.

A family member is at a conference in Minneapolis right now and uses the words “surreal” and “war zone” to describe it
Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

That sound you hear is every sport scholar rushing to tell you that women didn’t actually compete in Olympic hockey until 1998, not at the second winter games like today’s ceremonies so naively implied.

Twenty years of post-9/11 wars broke society's idea of positive masculinity and made American men believe being an "operator" was the only viable signifier of manhood. The problem was that most men weren't willing or able to do that job. But the need to prove masculinity remained. So we get this.
SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.
“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.
But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
