Isn't it strange how none of the AFL women's teams ever "find themselves" in these "situations"?

None of the women's teams have to answer questions about "girls just being girls" or being "stitched up"

It's almost as if the problem is rampant, unchecked misogyny and entitlement

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

“The world is not divided between East and West You are American, I am Iranian. We do not know each other, vet we can talk and understand one another perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much greater than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much greater than the difference between me and you. Our governments, however, are very much the same.”

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian graphic novelist

Marjane Satrapi is an Iranian-born graphic novelist, illustrator, and filmmaker widely recognized for her acclaimed autobiographical graphic memoir, Persepolis.

Born in 1969 in Rasht and raised in Tehran, she came of age during the dramatic events of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the ensuing Iran-Iraq War. As a teenager, she moved to Vienna to continue her education, an experience marked by cultural adjustment, isolation, and questions of identity.

These formative years became the foundation for Persepolis, first published in 2000. The memoir chronicles her childhood in revolutionary Iran and her adolescence in Europe, offering a deeply personal perspective on political upheaval, family life, and the search for belonging. The book earned international praise and introduced many readers around the world to the realities of everyday life in Iran during a turbulent era.

Satrapi later co-directed the 2007 animated film adaptation, Persepolis, which received the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

James Van Der Beek spent the last year of his life fundraising for cancer treatment.

He auctioned off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia.

Costars launched Cameos to raise money for his care.

A serious diagnosis in the US can financially destroy you.

Universal healthcare saves lives.

I live in Sweden.
And I work more than half of my time in the United States.
I know both systems — not from headlines, but from daily life.
Sweden has a capitalist market economy.
Private ownership. Competition.
Global companies.
We also have social reforms: healthcare, paid parental leave, paid vacation, and social security.
This is not socialism.
This is not communism.
It’s capitalism with guardrails.
The market creates wealth.
Society prevents bad luck from becoming a life sentence.
Our freedoms are intact.
Our economy is competitive.
And no — this isn’t theory.
I live it.

As a norwegian i still find it extremely strange that so called conservative christians in America want you to think that gay marriage needs to be overturned but having a repulsive sexual predator in the white house is somehow god's will🤷

Wow, this speech from Mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani 👏💯

"They command us not to believe what we see"

"They compel us as George Orwell wrote nearly 80 years ago, to reject the evidence of our eyes and our ears"

"And they would succeed, were it not for the many among us who read the scripture, but who live the scripture"

"Those who refuse to abandon the stranger"

"I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her moments later were: I'm not mad at you"

"I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. Here was a man who held the hand of the afraid and the afflicted in their final moments"

"Here was a man who dedicated his life to healing those who he never met"

"ICE shot him 10 times because he did something they could never fathom doing, he extended his arm towards a stranger"

"Not to push her down, but help her up"

"Let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion"
