Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

A group of Jewish faculty and staff at my college wrote an open letter, about what it means to be torn between one side that thinks acknowledging antisemitism on campus means shutting down academic freedom, and another that responds by denying it exists: sarahlawrencephoenix.com/features-arc...

A lot of people when talking about Gough's economic record seriously underplay how beyond comprehension the 1973 Oil Crisis was.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Our soldiers stationed overseas shouldn't be getting guidance from our government to look to local food banks for support.

I wonder how the German government would feel about paying for our forces to eat? 🤔

Not to mention, and more importantly, local people need that food.

The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
