Zelenskyy: "I told President Trump and all our European allies that Putin is bluffing. He's trying to push before the Alaska meeting on all directions of the front. Russia wants to occupy the whole of Ukraine. This is his wish ... he does not want peace."

Woman killed, man critically injured after both shot by police in Christchurch Police say they shot the man before a woman threatened officers with a knife.

Police were called to a house because a man was threatening himself and his partner

Before they left, they shot both the man and the woman. She's dead, he's critically injured. What a monumental failure

Don't worry though, police are using guns less than ever...

Ohio parents of kids with disabilities are receiving letters from the school board demanding they pay โ€œextraโ€ for their disabled children.

This is ableism and discrimination at its finest.

They werenโ€™t even given adequate warning. Just 17 days to pay up.

It seems like nothing.

Now imagine millions of Americans did this.

So far there are many saying they are.
But we never know if what people say theyโ€™re going to do is what theyโ€™re really going to do. I donโ€™t know if half the videos I see like this one are actually going to DC yet.

We wait.

Column | Sudanโ€™s calamity and โ€˜the end of the liberal world orderโ€™ Sudan suffers from a neglect and indifference that seems to reflect the new shape of global politics.

My latest

At least 63 people, mostly women and children, starved to death in the besieged city of El Fasher this past week. That number only includes those who arrived at medical facilities.

Last thing: โ€œright on redโ€ is a very bad idea and we should ditch it. Motorists invariably stare to the left and pay no mind to pedestrians on their right. Jesus, I hate cars. 3/3

Does anyone on here know if that intersection has had multiple incidents of this type? Maybe @livablecville.bsky.social ? Itโ€™s now on my list of notorious Cville intersections where Iโ€™ve had it seen near misses when pedestrians are doing everything RIGHT. 2/3

I just saw someone get hit by a car crossing Market St. at the intersection with Avon. Pedestrian had the walk sign; pick-up truck was making a right on red and drove directly into her. Pedestrian was basically ok; driver stopped long enough to say โ€œI didnโ€™t see you.โ€ 1/3

Tax vehicles by weight and get us back down to reasonably sized cars, please. I have internalized stereotypes about pickup owners and their disregard for pedestrians at this point

Feds rolled up outside my NE DC home, harassed a random person sitting in a car, blasted their sirens, then pulled away. All within the span of two minutes.

Let's be clear about what this is - they are seeking to intimidate as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
