I personally think at least as much attention should be paid to the systematic torture of vulnerable sick people that “health insurance” companies engage in through their denials of coverage and claims as the murder of the CEO of one of those offending companies.

I recently got to try on a replica of an ancient Greek helmet and it was LOUD in there just with people talking, you really did need your noise cancelling headphones in battle back in the day.
Imagine being in medieval times, about to go into battle, when you realize you forgot your headphones

Demonstrators arrested outside White House as they ask Biden admin to uphold law & enact arms embargo on Israel.
(Given the US letter 30 days ago suggesting policy "implications" if Israel didn't improve conditions in Gaza & that Israel failed criteria, Israel is therefore in violation of US law)

At this point, any western journalist that trots out the cliché that India is a democracy is failing basic fact-checking. Autocracies, from Porfiriato Mexico to Purim’s Russia, regularly use elections- holding elections doesn’t make India democratic.
