ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

God this is going to sound obnoxious but I'm doing it anyway: one of the most radical and genuinely bolshy things you can do right now is just fucking check stuff. Take a moment, find some sources, talk to some humans, corroborate stuff using independent pathways.

It is going out of fashion fast

We have truly not yet figured out how to cope with a person or institution that is "aware" of climate change, "accepts the science", but then decides to continue actively worsening it anyway

We don't even have a word or a phrase for this!

Climate action no longer seems to be a priority for Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite his previous activism. This is bad news for Canadians and the climate.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Armes chimiques au Soudan : des images documentent l’utilisation par l’armée d’un gaz interdit

Le 22 mai 2025, les États-Unis accusent l'armée soudanaise d’avoir utilisé des armes chimiques dans sa guerre contre la milice des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR). Aucune preuve n’a été fournie pour appuyer ces allégations, que l’armée soudanaise nie. Pour la première fois, la rédaction des Observateurs documente deux incidents survenus en septembre 2024 au nord de Khartoum. Tous les indices convergent vers des bombardements au chlore, un gaz toxique interdit par le droit international.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
