These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Disgraceful from Waterstones; this will be their sixth mediocre bookshop in the city and there's absolutely no good reason to shop in any of them over the swathe of great independent bookshops in the city - of which Argonaut is the best.
Waterstones to open about 100m from Argonaut, a particularly nice indie bookshop. Quote from Waterstones management makes it sound like they got Argonaut mixed up with the gaming café next door.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Setting aside the fact that the idol industry is sexually exploitative and a 17-year-old shouldn’t be allowed to be part of it in the first place, Japan desperately needs to have laws that ban companies from controlling idols’ personal lives.
17-year-old idol Fujisaki Azu is out of a job after her group, HEROINES, dismissed her for a "severe contractual violation." The announcement came two days after she shared a picture that Netizens say proves she - gasp! - has a boyfriend.
