Re my play, Head on a Silver Platter: In Defense of Salome, I write to express abhorrence at the shooting of Charlie Kirk. This is relevant to my play because one of my central characters espouses views somewhat like Kirk's. I oppose both those views and all political violence. I call for peace.

Inside a Chaotic U.S. Deportation Flight to Brazil: The flight, operated by GlobalX Air, had problems from the start. Passengers said that on first attempt, the plane struggled to take off. After a mechanic worked on a turbine, it departed, but passengers were uneasy.

I've been cross stitching "I told you I wasn't hysterical" throw pillows for days now, yes
It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.
