Trump says he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.

Women in the EU earn, on average, 12% less per hour than men.
So, when a man earns 100 euro, a woman earns 88 euro. This is the difference in average gross hourly pay. The EU aims to close this gap with its pay transparency rules.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
