I'm taking note of all the progressives in the US who claim to be about fighting the oligarchy who are silent on Ukraine. Ukrainian investigative journalists and civil society risk their lives to expose their oligarchs and their links to our own here at home. The fight against kleptocracy is global.

If only there had been some … SIGN… that Drumpf would unleash injustice on migrants at the border … Maybe the US Bishops & their clergy (so-called) “pro-life” proxies wouldn’t have (directly & indirectly) so zealously campaigned for him ( Drumpf) at Nazi-rich “Right to Life” marches & in parishes.

Hochul, at a press conference explaining why she is giving Mayor Adams a free pass in the face of his corruption and quid pro quo with Trump, says she wants to put safeguards in place to keep it from happening again. The safeguard was a law giving her power to suspend and remove him.

1/ This is something a smart 9 year-old would write in a school composition. It is possible to simultaneously wish the pope health & recovery AND object to some of his policies, blind spots, (selective) upholding of bigotry.

You know, everytime you hear about ‘fairness’ in women’s sports - it’s this single mediocre incident that is the example. There is no respected medical or scientific evidence to ban trans people from sport. Not one jot. There are facts & there is ignorance & this is the latter.
