Ah, he meant “Bored of Peace”!

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

The tragic war in Ukraine has become tragically normal Four years after Russia began its full-scale invasion, the rest of the world is distracted by other news – but the conflict is more violent and devastating than ever

“Four years later, the sirens still scream, and the Russian attacks have become even deadlier.

JUST IN: NPR reports DOJ withheld Epstein files referencing allegations involving Trump — including ~53 pages of FBI interview notes tied to a survivor who said she met him at age 13.

So good. She doesn't make it feel better. But she makes it all make sense, and doesn't gloat that she predicted ALL OF THIS.

The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”
