I was doing a Master's when I saw this tweet, about 5 years ago. I worked hard to find a way to quote it in an assessment paper, with citation.

You can see why Hegseth and his flunkies didn't like jawdropping details like this one, from Korte's final Stars and Stripes story, about US Navy evacuees from Bahrain.

I see the cookers are whining about today's student protests across Australia.
I think it's good to see them being educated about civics, the right to protest, and free speech. It's a great way to get them thinking about the rights that Australian culture depends on.

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

In NSW at the moment, it's perfectly legal to lie in a political ad.
And if our petition for truth in political advertising gets 20,000 signatures, it will have to be debated in NSW Parliament!
