Social worker, therapist, all around sardonic person. Largely unknown but I take up a lot of space in my own mind.
We scoured social media, court records and local stories for instances of immigration agents holding citizens against their will. The administration doesn’t track these cases. So we have. We’re sharing our database with you.
Hundreds of thousands of students turn out in Brazil's capital Brasilia to support Lula and say "never again Bolsonaro"
The Spectator has deleted all the articles written by Lola Salem, Michael Gove’s ex-girlfriend. Michael Gove is the editor of The Spectator.
I signed up. I don’t care about the newsletter but now I don’t feel guilty about watching the clips. Honestly, at this point, its the only way I can watch anything about our current leadership.
