Trump should prepare for a long campaign - Russia has been bombing Ukraine for 4 years and they haven't surrendered.

The Siege of Malta lasted over two years, and they didn't surrender. The London Blitz lasted 8 months. Has any airborne bombing campaign alone resulted in surrender?

NYC mayor not banned from UK – Full Fact A series of videos shared on social media falsely claim that Zohran Mamdani said the UK has β€œlost its moral compass”, prompting Keir Starmer to ban him from the UK.

Videos shared online falsely claim Keir Starmer banned New York mayor Zohran Mamdani from the UK, after Mr Mamdani supposedly said the UK had β€œlost its moral compass” at an event they both attended.

But no such event happened, and he hasn’t been banned.

that takes me back to high school Classics, when the Latin master had us illustrate a banquet menu on a scroll in Latin. These were after-school classes and included draping a toga and building model castles.

US immigration authorities arrest Spanish-language news reporter in Tennessee Court documents say immigration authorities arrested a reporter for a Spanish-language news outlet in Tennessee without a warrant. But U.S.

She was in her marked news truck when #ICE pulled her over and arrested a reporter who’s been critical of the agency.

Freedom of the press is a precious thing. Without it, we will know even less about what Trump is doing than we do now. apnews.com/article/repo...

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

I was in Helmand with UK troops. Draft dodging Trump's words are a gut punch to those killed Donald Trump has claimed NATO troops stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan. It's hard to know whether he's ignorant or just doesn't really care.
