But allowing a false impression of potential government involvement in our work to stand unchallenged is inconsistent with our commitment to accurate, fact-based journalism. It is disinformation. And it is why similar objections to Twitter’s media labels have been raised by international public media such as NPR, PBS, Britain’s BBC, Australia’s ABC and SBS, New Zealand’s RNZ and Spain’s RTVE, to name a few.
Is this a threat? This reads like a threat. Transgender person says that any woman who tries to stop him from entering a woman’s bathroom “will be making the last mistake you’ve ever made.”

How the home of big tech lost its way
It is difficult, given what Silicon Valley has become, to convey exactly what it was like in the 1970s and ‘80s. It was a remarkable center of technology, but also the embodiment of the spirit of capitalism at its very best, as epitomized by garage start-ups like Apple. Greed, of course, is always a human motivation, but the early Valley culture was created by entrepreneurial outsiders who genuinely wanted to make the world better.
Oakland has always been a gritty city—the tough-luck twin to wealthy San Francisco. Under newly elected Alameda County District Attorney Pam Price, Oakland could be headed for a fate much darker than gritty. Price has been following the de-prosecution and decarceration playbook of radical district attorneys across the United States. If she stays on that course, Oakland is in for a “hella tough time,” to use the language of the Bay Area.
The globalists and liberal internationalists among us who frequently invoke the authority or consensus of the “international community” should read the United Nations–supported International Commission of Jurists’ (ICJ) March 2023 report on “Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty.” Under the guise of seeking to remedy “hostility, exclusion, inequality, discrimination and marginalization of individuals and groups,” the report expressly calls for the decriminalization and normalization of sex between adults and “consenting” minors. The slippery slope of the sexual revolution has hit rock bottom. Woke ideology has not just defined deviancy down (in the memorable phrase of Daniel Patrick Moynihan), it seeks to eliminate deviancy from our lexicon.
A ‘Cop City’ activist killed by police was shot 57 times, according to a state autopsy report.
Manuel Paez Terán, 26, had been protesting a controversial police and firefighter training site in Atlanta, Georgia.
Police have said Terán fired a gun, injuring a state trooper in the 18 January incident.
Terán’s family has said they will file a lawsuit to force police to release more information.
As Israel continues to face daily threats and terror attacks from Iran and its militia proxies, fourteen Democratic members of the US Congress have joined the Jihad (holy war) against Israelis by urging the Biden administration to reconsider US military aid to Israel.
The appeal, included in a letter signed by Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Sen. Bernie Sanders, was made public shortly after Palestinian terrorists shot dead a Jewish mother, Lucy Dee, 48, and her two daughters, Maia, 20, and Rina, 15, as they were driving to the north of Israel to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Passover.
The ad revenue for America’s far-left late-night TV shows has collapsed 41 percent in just five years.
Gee, I wonder what changed.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday that the federal government’s offer to striking public sector workers is a fair one that wouldn’t burden the treasury with unnecessarily high wage costs at a time of economic uncertainty.
Speaking to reporters at a nuclear power plant in Pickering, Ont., Freeland said the federal government has to remember the “hardworking people of Canada” who pay public sector wages.
An Idaho high school teacher has been arrested on suspicion of raping a 16-year-old boy. Eric McDermott, 59, of Boise was booked into the Ada County Jail on Monday on charges of rape and sexual battery committed by lewd or lascivious acts on a minor child.
McDermott, who taught World Studies 8 and AP Human Geography, and coached basketball at Fairmont Junior High School, was also an outspoken LGBT activist.
Criminal charges against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting on the set of his movie “Rust” have been dropped, sources told The Post.
Baldwin, 65, was charged with involuntary manslaughter over the Oct. 21, 2021 shooting of 45-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico set of the Western movie, after a prop pistol he was using for a scene fired a real bullet.
He had always maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty to the charges, brought by the Santa Fe district attorney.
Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’. But it was also expected that the people they picked for a hypothetical lunar mission would be leftists who hate America. Their experiments will likely consist of measuring equity on the moon and claiming that low-gravity environments have a disproportionate impact on people of color. And this garbage is starting early. Really early.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand” is a banality we’re all familiar with, but what too many Canadians can’t seem to get their heads around is that a national broadcaster supported overwhelmingly by the governing Liberals but bitterly opposed by Conservatives cannot stand, either, and probably shouldn’t. You can blame Pierre Poilievre for this state of affairs if you like. But Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are every bit as guilty.
By now you’ve certainly heard about the shooting of Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old who went to pick up his younger brothers but mistakenly walked up to the wrong house. His brothers were on 115th Street and Yarl mistakenly went to 115th Terrace. When he rang the bell, 84-year-old homeowner Andrew Lester fired his gun through the door hitting Ralph twice including once in the head. He was hospitalized and, fortunately, survived the attack. His story immediately became national news. Ralph Yarl is black and Andrew Lester is white.
OTTAWA, April 20 (Reuters) – Canada agreed to provide subsidies of up to C$13 billion ($9.7 billion) over a decade plus a C$700 million grant to lure Volkswagen AG into building its North American battery plant in the country, a government source said confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News.
The total Canadian investment, which could include funds from the Ontario government also, will largely match what Volkswagen would have got from the United States through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the source said.
