This is the culture some progressives keep romanticizing and importing.
Syrian women and children stoning a Swedish female reporter for having the audacity to show her hair. Not because of “colonialism.” Not because of “Islamophobia.” Because they were raised since childhood in a system that treats female independence as a crime and covering every inch of a woman’s body as non-negotiable religious duty.
These women are often the first victims of that system. The fact that they enforce it on other women doesn’t make it less brutal—it makes it more tragic.
You cannot simultaneously claim to champion women’s rights and refuse to confront the cultures that systematically deny them. The two are mutually exclusive.
Apparently if you think Jews "eat babies" and make "black magic" and you go to a Jewish neighbourhood with a megaphone to say so, you can still teach at The University of Niagara Falls (@unfcan) , @georgiancollege, and Conestoga College @ConestogaC
Mark Ruffalo has always been a stupid rube. No one remembers this now, but in 2016 he helped spread a conspiracy theory that an outbreak of Microcephaly in Brazil was caused by pesticides rather than the Zika virus. https://t.co/VfLFBCekVG
Rents are declining in 2026 because of boom in apartment construction in 2024. 600,000 rental units were built, the most since the 1980s. Skill-testing question: who was President in 2024? (Need a hint? OK - not the same guy who was president during COVID lockdowns of 2020.)
A parade of combat robots—on land, at sea, and in the air—over Kyiv; something other nations wouldn't have even dared to dream of. This extraordinary idea was realized because a conventional Independence Day parade was not possible during the war.
Ukrainian ground-based robotic systems rolled along Khreshchatyk, Ukrainian naval drones moved across the Dnieper, and military aircraft and combat drones flew overhead.
What comes to mind is this: why isn't Ukraine in NATO yet?
This is the daily reality for Afghan women under the Taliban 👇
An 18-year-old girl, completely covered in a burqa and sunglasses, sits before Abdullah Sarhadi, the Taliban Governor of the Jawzjan province, and calmly begs for a divorce from the husband who beats her.
“If there was any chance to live together, I wouldn’t be here… I have taken my decision.”
He refuses to grant the divorce and tells her she must stay in the physically abusive relationship. She will lose her “dignity and honor,” he tells her, if she divorced.
Then, to the approving laughter of the men around him, he declares that women are “deficient in intellect,” “mindless,” and “don’t know a thing.”
No rights. No escape. Just contempt and subjected to the total control of men steeped in a medieval philosophy.
And still the world looks away.

@pegobry_en The alleged fentanyl problem at the northern border was nonexistent when Trump invented it. Almost all fentanyl comes from Mexico, and its street price in Vancouver is more expensive than Seattle - suggesting it moves in the opposite direction than what Trump claims.
@BillKristol Canada's ambassador was first to propose NATO's only-ever Article 5 invocation, made for the U.S. after 9/11, then sent 40,000-plus troops to Afghanistan and lost 158. Argue about trade all you want. Calling that country militaryless insults the record.
"Sean Duffy hurried over to the Fox booth at the IndyCar race in D.C. He was asked about Trump’s feud with Canada—and as we’ve come to expect from a Trump administration official, he entered the fracas in a particularly stupid and offensive way."

Why should Canada (or France, or Ukraine or anyone really) just hope that a handful of voters in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan will make a decision every four years not to elect a president who will torpedo alliances?
