Russia also launched ballistic missiles on Kharkiv region again - though the small town of Berestyn is nearer Poltava than Kharkiv city.

Unfortunately a 17 year old girl has died overnight.
8 others suffered physical injuries + 2 women were treated for acute shock.

It always comes down to racism in the US! And until the people accept & deal with that fact and our history, the country will to a large extend stay stuck in the cycles of small steps of progress followed by huge backlash filled with hate and anti-Black policies - costing us all no matter our race.
“Politically, Trump’s emphasis on race is not misplaced…Racial barriers – fear, contempt, mistrust – are a big reason the United States did not develop the rich safety net that the more ethnically homogeneous democracies of western Europe built.”

Trump’s focus on race backfires as voters punish economic failings
The Maga base rallied on inflation and racial grievances, but stressing race over the economy is costing the US president

and again... the 'notwithstanding' invoked not to protect the people, as it is intended, but to further the agenda of a Conservative political party.

This is shameful.

Good morning.

If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.

Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.

I did my job. And then I did a job that never should have been my responsibility afterwards, sending emails and having meetings about how this was allowed to happen in the first place. Other women scholars had to spend their time explaining to Aspen leadership why this was not ok.
