For 150 years, Africville, sitting right next to Halifax, was a thriving Black Canadian community.
Halifax refused to provide city services, and eventually forced residents to move as they bulldozed their homes.
This is the story of that community.

Today, the last major US-Russia nuclear arms control treaty expires. It allowed inspectors on both sides to examine each other’s systems, reducing uncertainty. Without facts, worst-case thinking takes over—and that’s dangerous for nuclear powers.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

The tactic of demonizing empathy was for moments like this.
When people have no empathy for others and are loyal to power above all else, they will believe whatever those in power say, no matter how false, and even distrust their own eyes when they see others being harmed.
