Harriette Mackenzie is such a rare athlete: she’s a BC college basketball star, and she is trans. This is the story of her season: an in-game attack, anti-trans hatred, outing herself, a lifetime of trauma, and how she kept going, despite it all.

Trans athlete Harriette Mackenzie has been ostracized most of her life. One violent play during a Pac West basketball game pushed her to fight back.

Point 8 of the Nazi Party's 25-Point Platform: "Any further immigration of non-Germans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, shall be compelled to leave the Reich immediately."
Mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization and undermines the stability of key American allies. Today the State Department instructed U.S. embassies to report on the human rights implications and public safety impacts of mass migration.

Multiculturalism recognized that Canada had become diverse, not simply bicultural. It helped many communities (Greeks, Italians, Ukrainians, Chinese, e.g.) feel embraced, less subject to racism. Important to see the history of this idea, IMO. JD Vance doesn't understand Canada
What is Liberal racism? It starts with the three multis: multiculturalism, multigenderism, and multilateralism. Three ideas that claim to expand freedom, but each one strips something essential away. Tune into my full remarks from the National Forum to End Liberal Racism,

Conservatives celebrating and promoting the Trump/Vance campaign against Canada is a choice.
“with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.” “The fault lies with your leadership”

Google translated from Russian to English. Dmitriev’s paw prints all over this thing. And Witkoff too stupid to even scrub them. This is why there was “zero interagency process.”
In the American ‘peace plan,’ some wording was found that had originally been written in Russian, The Guardian reports. Im surprised they even bothered to translate it.

"when I'm trying to make arguments in favor for Israel … I'm talking through a wall of dead children." I dunno, if this is the case, maybe you should really reconsider your job?
Sarah Hurwitz tells Z3 Conference that Jewish schools should ban smartphones to keep youths from seeing the carnage in Gaza: "I'm sorry if this is a graphic thing to say, but … when I'm trying to make arguments in favor for Israel … I'm talking through a wall of dead children."

Misguided as he was, Chamberlain was trying to avoid getting his country dragged into a devastating world war just 20 years after millions of young British men died in Europe. No American lives are at risk now, and no American money is being spent on Ukraine anymore, either. The
Regarding the Ukraine “peace proposal,” congratulations to President Trump for exhibiting the same strong leadership and vision that Neville Chamberlain showed at Munich in 1938.

I have to admit, I was saying that trump would be charmed by zohran but I really could not have anticipated him patting him on the arm and going "it's okay sweetie, you can call me a fascist if you want to"
Reporter: Are affirming that you think Trump is a fascist? Mamdani: We’ve spoken about— Trump: That’s ok, you can just say it.

Real corruption within Zelensky’s circle is being weaponized by Russia and its friends in the U.S. to extinguish the independent Ukrainian state. Which makes any dithering by Zelensky in getting rid of his corrupt friends so historically consequential.
“A senior U.S. official said that [Umerov] significantly changed one of the 28 points. In an apparent move to expose alleged corruption, the draft had called for an audit of all international aid Ukraine had received. The language was changed to say all parties will receive “full

The CPL is still getting a big chunk of money from the deal that diverts revenue from Canada's national teams, so when one of their eight franchises folds — there is a Quebec team coming to replace Winnipeg — that's indeed not good

Hi Riley, Just wanted to follow up on the list of fact-checking questions we sent you — which included the comments from your former teammates about you and head coach Lars Jorgensen. In the meantime, re: the below 2016 tweet, I was talking about Brett Favre. Thanks, Pablo

A shocking part of the Trump–Russia "peace plan" isn’t just what it does to Ukraine. It is what it quietly does to Poland. Buried in point 9 is a sentence that looks harmless: European fighters will be stationed in Poland. On paper, that sounds fine. In practice, though, it

Can we acknowledge now, once and for all, that there is no "American position" on Ukraine, that Trump is, simply and squarely, on Russia's side?
