Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player, was a very good man who did a wonderful thing for the family of Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in a brutal hate crime. God bless Jason.
My 2014 column on what Collins meant to Shepard's father:

The Russians want Ukraine’s permission to hold their parade – so they can safely take to the square for an hour once a year, and then go back to killing *our* people and waging war. The Russians are already talking about strikes after May 9. A strange and certainly twisted logic from the Russian leadership.
There are also messages from some states close to Russia that their representatives intend to be in Moscow. An odd desire at a time like this. We do not recommend it.
Russia says it’s rehoming Ukrainian “orphans.”
Also Russia:
–Transfers children without tracing families
–Withholds records needed to find them
–Labels them “orphans” to enable illegal adoptions
A child is not an orphan just because you erased their history.

@michaeldweiss Guys, Russia could be doing so much more. They've been holding back over four years of full-scale war, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, their economy on life support, and begging Ukraine for a ceasefire. You just don't get it. 😂
As of today, there has been no official appeal to Ukraine regarding the modality of a cessation of hostilities that is being claimed on Russian social media. We believe that human life is far more valuable than any anniversary “celebration”. In this regard, we are announcing a ceasefire regime starting at 00:00 on the night of May 5–6. In the time left until that moment, it is realistic to ensure that silence takes effect. We will act reciprocally starting from that moment. It is time for Russian leaders to take real steps to end their war, especially since Russia’s Defense Ministry believes it cannot hold a parade in Moscow without Ukraine’s goodwill.
The scene in Damascus today for Zelensky's arrival. The most fanfare for any foreign leader by far in post-Assad Syria.
May the Syria-Ukraine relationship continue to flourish and the Syria-Russia relationship rot away.
נשיא אוקראינה זלנסקי מבקר ביומיים האחרונים בכל מדינות המפרץ כדי להדק את שיתוף הפעולה הביטחוני נגד איראן. המדינה היחידה שלא הזמינה אותו היא ישראל. נתניהו ביקש לדבר איתו בטלפון לפני שבועיים אבל לא התקשר ונעלם. באותו זמן פוטין ממשיך לסייע לאיראן צבאית נון-סטופ
@DCPoliceDept That's funny. When someone threatened to kill my five month old child (and we canvassed and gave photos of the perpetrator to you), you guys did nothing. Was the person threatened here a VIP?
70-year-old Natalia pushed her husband in a wheelchair out of the kill zone. They covered 13 kilometers under drones, along a road covered with bodies.
No rest. No choice. Only love.
“We’ve been together for 51 years. I will never leave him.”
This is what love looks like when the world falls apart.

Russia is helping Iran with advanced drone tactics from its war in Ukraine to hit US and Gulf nation targets in the Middle East, according to a Western intelligence official. New from @npwcnn

This lady ate a surface-to-air missile, sustained a 12-14 G rocket-propelled ejection, likely hit the ground at 15+ miles per hour…
And then she popped up smiling at the locals who came to help her.
Tell me again that women don’t belong in combat.
