1/ A desalination plant supplying drinking water to 30 villages.

A flour and starch factory.

Oil depots blanketing Tehran in thick black smoke and contaminated rain.

65 schools. 13 hospitals.

Centuries-old heritage sites.

These are the latest targets in the illegal US-Israeli assault on Iran.

Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

These most recent allegations against Trump are vile and disgusting.

Nobody is above the law. Especially not the leader of the pedophile protection party.

1/ The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.

My Google Scholar alerts are full of notices that Diane Lillo-Martin has teamed up with none other than Pennycook, C.J. Hall and others to produce a sheaf of literary criticism. Something tells me this is an AI hallucination. 😱

I often see oralism either described in (rightfully) furious terms by Deaf authors, or treated with kid gloves in an effort to be "fair." But I wanted to capture the feeling I as a hearing parent of a #deafkid get when I encounter LSL in the wildβ€”it's a hoax.

Algonquin College CEO urges province to fix 'broken' post-secondary funding model | CBC News Algonquin College CEO Claude BrulΓ© attended a pre-budget consultation in Ottawa on Wednesday, where he asked the Ontario government to invest about $1.6 billion dollars in the province's college secto...

We need to be investing in Ontario's future and that includes investing in our post-secondary sector before it's too late. Algonquin's 37 program closures and the loss of the Perth campus are a small preview of what's coming if cuts to the sector continue.

When times are hard, elites reach for the same trick. They use racism and fear to divide us β€” keeping us punching down so we don’t look up.

But we know our fates are intertwined, and that’s where our power lies.
