Casually learning that the deputy director of the federal prison system is a Trump-pardoned drug trafficker, which qualifies as an oh by the way in this story
So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.**

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger.

The Olympics stories always get me. Watching the men’s short program; the American who’s parents were killed on flight 5342? The Ukrainian who skates to Fall on Me sung by Andrea and Matteo Bocelli and dedicates it to his father who is fighting on the front lines?
