Research found that, in Australia, abusive partners control women’s reproductive & sexual choices through rape, sabotaging or refusing to use contraception, and controlling access to abortion services.
Now we have conservatives perpetuating the abuse by wanting to ban abortions.

Of course, I am happy that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open. That's a good outcome for the entire global economy.

But the Strait was opened before the war. We did not need a war to keep it open.

No, the left are not Jealous of Elon Musk,

We don’t want to be trillionaires.

We want a world where children aren’t starving to death whilst trillionaires hoard money.

How much money does Howard Buffett have? It's hard to say, because he spends them all the time, he has already spent half a billion on Ukraine. He fell in love with Ukraine, visited ten times during the war, and it feels like he spends more time in Ukraine than at home in the United States...

Greta Thunberg sends birthday wishes to Donald Trump: “My initial thought was to give you a one-way ticket to The Hague as a birthday gift, but that comment would probably go above your head. I will instead give you a can of alphabet soup; the sentences you poop out will be more coherent than anything you have ever said. Now you can finally take part in meaningful public discourse”

Today, I’m mourning my friend Melissa and her husband Mark, as we mark one year since they were assassinated in their home. Melissa was a dedicated public servant who worked every day to improve the lives of Minnesotans. That should never have cost her or her husband their lives.

Being elected to serve our communities should never be life-threatening. From state legislatures to the White House, it’s time for our leaders to stand against armed political violence.

My heart is in Minnesota and with Sophie, Colin, and the entire Hortman family as they continue to grieve this tragic loss.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out:

“The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying.

Adam Hoffman could have faced life in prison. Instead, Ken Paxton and his office offered him a deal that kept him off the sex-offender registry and included no new jail time.”

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us.

He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan!

I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

So thrilled and moved to have won the Emmy for Outstanding Historical Documentary last night - deeply grateful to @PBS and @BBC , (Simon Young, history commisooner); WNET and Oxford Films and Television and our brilliant creative team @hugo_macgregor Richard Wilkinson; Jyoti Mehta; Charlotte Sacher, for making this happen - at a time when the truth about the Holocaust in all its enormity, needed more than ever

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

BREAKING

A federal judge has ordered the Kennedy Center to remove President Trump's name from the facade, website, letterhead, and official materials.

Congress named the Center by statute in 1964 - and the judge ruled only Congress can change it.
