So many were killed – yet on her release, my mother said ‘shalom’ to her captors. Let’s learn from that moment of grace, says Sharone Lifschitz, London-based film-maker and academic

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Absolutely barbarism. And anyone calling themselves a Christian – or any supposed Christian group – defending this kind of decision is unworthy of the name. It’s a suicide hotline, ffs.
At RFK Jr’s direction, HHS plans to cut the National Suicide Hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth. In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.
