It’s Extremely Divisive of You to Tell the Truth Our nation is incredibly divided right now, and the last thing we need is someone standing up and further dividing us with statements based in fact...

A carrier whose company was destroyed for supporting students tried to burn himself in protest - Vreme The driver Milomir Jaćimović, who was driving the students, is still suffering the consequences. He was once again the target of thugs, who punctured his tires and broke his windows.

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

The costs of restricting abortion? More than $130 billion per year. A new report quantifies the costs of rising abortion restrictions three years after Dobbs.

EXCLUSIVE: A new analysis by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research estimates that the 16 states with total or near-total abortion bans have sustained more than $64 billion in economic losses annually since the fall of Roe.

Fulbright Applicants Rejected Over β€œDEI” Research Proposals The Trump administration staged an unprecedented intervention in this year’s Fulbright selection process, rejecting finalists whose research deals with race, gender or climate change.

I got a #Fulbright in 2020 & 2021 but couldn't go b/c Covid-19 and my university's travel policies. This year, my application was caught in Trump's anti-DEI BS. I was planning to study the relationship between women & the city of Sarajevo. #Politburo

The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

"If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism."

Why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the Jenga piece that could topple the American Experiment | Will Bunch The Trump regime lies about a Salvadoran laborer and dad because the truth of his humanity could unravel its dream of autocracy.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is everything right now

For the Trump regime, their ability to disappear the humanity of one Maryland dad is central toward a project of establishing American dictatorship

It's why we must fight for Kilmar's freedom...and our own. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/kilm...
