Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

The idea that serving in the US military doesn't automatically confer citizenship has always seemed bizarre to me. You offered to die for this country if necessary, and when you're done, it's "get out, you filthy illegal."
At 17, Jose Barco was the youngest in his unit in Iraq. After a 2004 car bomb near Fallujah, he saved two fellow soldiers, suffering severe burns and earning a Purple Heart. Now he faces deportation.

Should a war hero be deported? The complex dilemma around one convicted vet.
When noncitizen veterans make bad choices after their time in the military, they serve prison sentences and then face deportation. Is that fair?

Humans gave it a good go with the Enlightenment thing. We put dents in irrationality, the tyranny of kings and religions and superstition, the belief in nonsense.
We elevated the value of truth and rationality, of rights & freedom, of humans as individuals with dignity.
And then we didn’t like it.

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate
read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
