Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Talking about violence, victimization, war and trauma all day gets emotionally exhausting. So why not switch it up with a fun guest lecture?! I may be enjoying my preparation for this talk a bit too much! A childhood favorite movie (and actor- NEWMAN!) and childhood favorite dinosaur at its finest.

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history. The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. But U.S. companies never owned oil or land in Venezuela and officials didn’t kick them out of the country. Here's the real history of oil and Venezuela:

Zelensky on Venezuela:

β€œAbout Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”

Today, as I listened to a TV-type β€˜fireside chat’ I realized that it was indeed a good time for a beer. But not for positive reasons espoused by FDR.

In 1933 FDR closed out a fireside chat with: β€œI think this would be a good time for a beer.” In this chat he highlighted his accomplishments and struggles in his presidency.

Policy takeaway: crisis response that ignores social stressors (food access, health care, insecurity) risks escalating harm inside households. Culturally grounded interventions matter.

That’s a wrap for 2025!

Across countries, pandemic strain directly increased intimate partner victimization and violence. The risk was consistent globallyβ€”but how stress translated into violence differed by context.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Oh so this is what they meant by anti woke.
