Georgia Democrat flips a state House seat in district Trump won by double digits, CNN projects
Democrats continued their run of successes in special elections by flipping a state House seat in Georgia Tuesday, according to a projection from the CNN Decision Desk.
The Democratic victory, in a district that voted for Donald Trump by about 12 percentage points last year, comes ahead of next year’s critical midterms, when Georgians will vote in closely watched races for Senate and governor.
Eric Gisler, a Democrat who owns a local olive oil store, will defeat Republican Mack “Dutch” Guest in the 121st House District, in the northeastern part of the state, near the college town of Athens.

Mexican president says Mexico will send more water to US but not immediately
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that her country intends to send more water to the United States, but not immediately, even as Donald Trump threatens to raise tariffs by 5% on Mexican imports if more water is not delivered as part of a water-sharing agreement.
Sheinbaum said Mexico is proposing a water delivery this month and another one in the coming years. The proposal will be discussed in a virtual meeting with U.S. officials Tuesday, she said.
Mexico is behind water deliveries to the United States from the Rio Grande River because of drought and pipeline limitations, Sheinbaum said.

Analysis: Trump’s answer for everything: Blame Biden
It feels like a lifetime since Joe Biden was in the Oval Office, such is the turmoil and transformation unleashed since he went home to Delaware.
But one person in Washington never stops obsessing about the 46th president — his predecessor and successor.
Donald Trump rarely appears in public without complaining about Biden’s policies or flinging an insult at his mental or physical capacity.

Well, just like the old story goes.
Guy takes over as CEO and is told by his predecessor that he left two letters for him in his desk, and he tells his successor
"If you are ever up against the wall and don't know what to do, read the first letter. If it ever happens again, read the 2nd letter"
So the new CEO finds himself in a bind and reads the first letter "Blame everything on me" the letter says
So, he blames the old man and everything blows over fine.
Later, he finds himself in a real mess. Feeling reassured, he pulls out the 2nd letter and reads it, and it says...
"Sit down, write two letters."
Trump's been riding that first letter pretty hard. He needs to sit down and write two letters.
Must suck for him that he's illiterate

‘Bloodshed was supposed to stop’: no sign of normal life as Gaza’s killing and misery grind on
When Jumaa and Fadi Abu Assi went to look for firewood their parents thought they would be safe. They were just young boys, aged nine and 10 and, after all, a ceasefire had been declared in Gaza.
Their mother, Hala Abu Assi, was making tea in the family’s tent in Khan Younis when she heard an explosion, a missile fired by an Israeli drone. She ran to the scene – but it was too late.
Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children – like Jumaa and Fadi.
They were killed, their mother said, at “a time when bloodshed was supposed to stop”.

Democrat wins Miami mayor’s race for the first time in nearly 30 years
Democrat Eileen Higgins won the Miami mayor’s race on Tuesday, defeating a Republican endorsed by Donald Trump to end her party’s nearly three-decade losing streak and give Democrats a boost in one of the last electoral battles ahead of the 2026 midterms.
“Tonight, the people of Miami made history,” Higgins said in a statement after the results were announced.
Higgins, 61, will be the first woman to lead the city of Miami. She spoke frequently in the Hispanic-majority city about Trump’s immigration crackdown, saying she has heard of many people in Miami who were worried about family members being detained. She campaigned as a Democrat despite the race being officially nonpartisan and beat Trump-backed candidate Emilio Gonzalez, a former city manager, who said he called Higgins to congratulate her.

In defiant flyover, U.S. F-18 fighter jets enter Venezuelan airspace for 40 minutes
Two U.S. F-18 fighter jets flying in tandem entered Venezuelan airspace around noon Tuesday, circling over the Gulf of Venezuela in the latest show of force against the regime of Nicolás Maduro.
The flyover — carried out despite the Venezuelan regime’s possession of a number of Russian-made anti-aircraft batteries — took place less than 100 miles northeast of Maracaibo, Venezuela’s second-largest city. Thousands of Venezuelans tracked the aircraft online through specialized tracking websites, watching as the jets traced a bow-tie-shaped pattern over the gulf.
The fighters remained inside Venezuelan airspace for at least 40 minutes at an altitude of roughly 25,000 feet before heading north and leaving the area.

Militaries don't "have to" follow orders. They accept full responsibility for these orders. They can refuse orders and will have to accept responsibility for not following them.
Evaluation of the legality of the order happens in court, both entail respect of the constitution AND international treaties the country has signed, both use judges, lawyers and prosecutors. Are formalised to the extreme.
Following orders of such an unpopular government is the biggest long term threat on any soldier. Most understand this, I hope.

Give Ukraine Back Its Future -- [Opinion]
There is more than a little irony in the fact that Ukrainians are bleeding and dying for Western democracy and the European Union at a time when so many are losing faith in both. But they are – and they have shown that they can win.
Opinion piece by Chrystia Freeland, former deputy prime minister, minister of foreign affairs, and minister of finance of Canada.
...
Yes, we’ve said that we will support Ukraine for as long as it takes. And yet we have consistently failed to give Ukraine the support it needs to win.
...
It is time to change that half-hearted paradigm. We need to recognize that Ukraine can win and that a Ukrainian victory is in the interests of the geopolitical West ... And then we need to devise a plan for a Ukrainian victory.
Our defeatism started with the 2014 invasion of Crimea, when the West told Ukrainians to stand down and tacitly accepted Russian control of the peninsula. On the eve of the 2022 full-scale invasion, we prepared to support a long Ukrainian guerilla war against Russian occupation and were cautious about giving the Ukrainian government weapons that we assumed would only fall into Russian hands.
...
Even after the Ukrainian people showed that they had the will and the strength not to be conquered, we have been collectively hesitant about giving them the tools that they need to win. Worse, we have even cautioned them against using their own weapons to maximum effect.
...
It is time to stop equivocating. It is time to stop settling for stalemate and planning for Finlandization. Ukraine can defeat Russia, and NATO allies and our Asian partners will be stronger if it does. So, it is past time to plan for success.
...
It starts with Ukraine’s capacity for victory. Since the war began, Ukraine has consistently outperformed Western expectations. Kyiv did not fall. Ukraine, with no navy of its own, has destroyed much of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and broken through its maritime blockade. Ukraine has deprived Russia of control of the sky. And Ukraine has held Russia to an effective stalemate on the ground: in fact, Ukraine today controls more of its own territory than it did immediately after Russia’s full-scale incursion.
...
In practice, this means that the future of war is being invented on Ukraine’s frontline and by technologists working in its remarkably vibrant cities. Ukraine has turned itself into the world’s leading inventor, producer, and user of drones, and is constantly developing new ones and new techniques. Recognizing that the path to victory must include missile strikes that bring the war home to the Russian people – for example, by destroying oil refineries – and that hit Russia’s military arsenal and defense industries, Ukraine is developing and building its own missiles.
Ukraine can do so because this is a people’s war. Civilian donations are an important source of support for the military, and self-organized brigades, which compete to attract soldiers and financial support, are responsible for their own procurement and often manufacture their own weapons.
...
The West has consistently failed to see Ukraine’s strength because we are still largely in thrall to a sort of Cold War Orientalism. Our intellectual guides to the war are overwhelmingly scholars of Russia and the Kremlin, not of Ukraine ... Even more than 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is hard for us to fully internalize the reality on the ground: that what we thought was the second-strongest army in the world is now the second-strongest army in Ukraine.
...
The one exception to this blinkered vision comes from countries that were part of the Soviet Union or the Warsaw Pact. They understand Russian power – and Russian weakness – deeply and intimately, having learned their lessons the hard way, from the inside and on the periphery. They understand that Ukraine can win, and that Ukraine’s victory is in our interest. We should be listening to them with greater attention and greater humility.
...
The real question is not whether Ukraine has the capacity to win, but whether that is what we want. We should. Ukraine’s victory is unequivocally in Europe’s interest. A victorious Ukraine would be Europe’s shield and its arsenal. Ukraine’s innovative defense industries and military doctrines are key to rearming Europe. A strong Ukraine guarding Europe’s eastern flank is the best guarantee that Europe will never need to use the weapons it is now building in a war of self-defense.
...
For another, Ukraine’s success is the best way to constrain China. A bipartisan consensus in the United States holds that China is the country’s main geopolitical rival. The surest way to check Chinese territorial expansionism is through the demonstration effect of Russia’s failure in Ukraine. The surest provocation for Chinese expansionism is for Russia’s invasion to succeed.
...
If we do want Ukraine to win – and we should – a plan for Ukrainian success starts with weapons. Ukraine has held out for so long because of its own military innovation and arms from the West. To end the war, it needs missiles to take the war to Russia; drones, robots, and AI to keep fighting at sea, on land, and in the air; and missile defense to protect Ukraine’s cities and energy grid from Russian attack.
Ukraine has never asked for foreign boots on the ground – unlike Russia, which has brought in the helot soldiers of its North Korean ally. But we could help Ukraine end the war by supplying the weapons it needs now to push Russia back: US Tomahawks or German Taurus missiles, and the intelligence support to target them.
...
Using Russian assets to back Ukraine [financially] would enforce a powerful and important principle: the aggressor pays. That approach makes sense to Western tax-payers, and embracing it would help to deter future would-be invaders.
...
Ukrainians are fighting for a future as a sovereign, secure democracy, with a path to joining the European Union, and the prosperity that EU accession promises ... This future is what Ukrainians voted for in their 1991 referendum on independence. It is why they overturned a rigged election with the Orange Revolution in 2004. It is why they came out and protested again on the Maidan in 2014, when their path to Europe was blocked. And it is why they are resisting Putin today.
...
Ukrainians also recognize that the fight against corruption at home is as essential to that future as the fight on the frontline against Russia. That is why they went back to the streets this summer to insist on independent and transparent anti-corruption investigators. They were right to do so.
...
Ukrainians know their own history. That is why they know that this war can end only when they have the borders, army, and alliances they need to deter further Russian aggression and give their children a path to the prosperity they have watched their neighbors in Poland and the Baltic states build.
There is more than a little irony in the fact that Ukrainians are bleeding and dying for Western democracy and the EU at a time when so many are losing faith in both. But they are. And they have shown that they can win. Helping them do so will make us stronger, too.

She did get support though, just the wrong group. Gendered services aren't really the issue here, that aspect seems like it worked fine except that she was referred incorrectly.
An aside, but gender division of services is not inherently problematic. Most DV support is done through the same organizations, but male and female DV care has very different needs. The number of men who seek DV support because they are actively at risk of grievous physical harm is vanishingly small, for example; men are generally at risk of losing housing, medical care, are being prevented from accessing their residence or their children are at risk and so male DV support is set up to provide those because that is usually what men most urgently need addressing. This is very counter to womens DV support, which is almost always about removing them from imminent harm ASAP and everything else is secondary. Connecting people to systems designed to provide what they likely most urgently need is critical to providing DV care, and errors can be then corrected once the urgent issues are addressed.
There's no perfect solution, and unfortunately going with what statistically will improve responses is the best you can hope for. Incredibly rare cases like this, which could have been resolved by simply speaking to the social workers involved, should not be the reason the whole system is slowed down - the solution here is just to make sure people are recorded as their correct genders.
She did get support though, just the wrong group. Gendered services aren’t really the issue here, that aspect seems like it worked fine except that she was referred incorrectly.
You don't know Australia.
This is the Victorian government support page for Domestic/Family Violence.
vic.gov.au/family-violence-sta…
You will notice under the men's referral section it states:
Free, confidential expert support for people at risk of using family violence.
And when you follow the link to the referred service they state:
No to Violence provides a range of services to support men concerned about their behaviour to change what they are doing and keep women, children and communities safer.
Men are only the abusers in the eyes of the government in Australia.
Family violence statewide support services
Whatever your situation, if you or someone you know needs help, there is a wide range of family violence support services available.www.vic.gov.au
That's pretty clearly just a badly thought out label for the program though, there's other similar things under their own separate and similarly poorly named headings. I'm also not sure it's fair to draw that conclusion about the attitude of the government from that example - there's a whole bunch of gender-neutral support groups on that same page, including the very first entry:
Safe Steps provides specialised support for individuals facing family and domestic violence, regardless of age, gender, ability, or cultural background. We’re here to listen, understand your situation, and guide you to safety.
That a program exists specifically to help male abusers via therapy isn't an endorsement of the idea thst female abusers don't exist, it's a sign that Australia follows the abuse trends of every other country, where men are orders of magnitude more likely to be violent abusers.
Male access to therapy is fucking terrible across the entire world, so a specific program set up to help remedy that, even in a way with a narrow focus, is not what I would call a problem.
Ms Wylder is now questioning why Victoria Police prioritised defending the case for more than two years.
Presumably because the court system is broken? Two years for lawsuits against a public service is almost fast for the canadian court system. IDK this seems... Like, yeah, the system was clearly broken - but it wasn't like they even misgendered her solely on the basis of anti-trans bias, they even recorded her as potentially being pregnant. It seems like the system just made a mistake, or referenced another system that hadn't updated her gender.
From working with these systems, social service referrals are not handled by the police - that is given over to another agency, who match against their own records to confirm identity instead of taking the information from the police reports. This is done because the cops are idiots who write things down wrong all the time - it just seems like in this one instance the cops recorded things right and the referenced systems did not have the correct gender information for her yet (possibly because it had not been officially changed?)
Honestly this really seems like the cops didn't screw up, it was the social service group that did the referral who borked things - which may be why the cops fought this, it's not like there's tons of examples of them handling transgender-involved anything correctly....
Africa’s New Data Dependency – Technology Colonialism
Data colonialism on the African continent has moved from abstraction into formal state policy through binding agreements signed without public consent, parliamentary scrutiny, or meaningful legal protection for citizens. Nigeria’s memorandum of understanding with France on tax administration data, alongside healthcare data-sharing agreements signed by Kenya and Rwanda with United States agencies, reflects a pattern of external control over sovereign information systems. These arrangements represent a transfer of strategic national assets rather than technical cooperation. Historical experience across former colonies shows that control over taxation, health records, and population data has always preceded deeper forms of domination, even when formal sovereignty remained intact.

But then these insane people support the worst dictators murdering innocent people and try to pretend it's justified. Absolute trash people.
Russian's military has just as many and likely significantly more Nazis than Ukraine's. So shouldn't you support neither side?
Or is it the Russian Nazis are okay right now because they are fighting against the Western Nazis?
There is a difference between institutionalized Nazis in Ukraine and extremist elements within Russia.
Ukraine's Azov Battalion was made an official part of Ukraine's National Guard in 2014 and by now, has become a premier unit in Ukraine's military. Stepan Bandera is treated Bandera's birthday is a national holiday.
To use someone else's analogy, this would be like if the KKK was promoted to a premier unit in the US military, and Nathan Bedford Forrest was treated as a national hero, with his birthday becoming a national holiday.

TBH there's no such thing as scientific "truth". There's varying level of evidence and varying levels of certainty.
Articles that flatten various scientific results into simply being "true" are actually pseudo-scientific. They present a true/false dichotomy that doesn't actually exist. They're lumping things with excellent evidence with things that are far less sure, but none of them are "true" in the logical/mathematical/scientific sense.
This doesn't help science or make people smarter. It just makes people less critical and more accepting of "authorities" like this shitty website. This is part of why USA is full of people who "love science" but are scientifically illiterate.

in reply to return2ozma • • •It sounds to me like she was sexually harassing him.
I am not bi, but I wonder if bisexual people didn't get the worst name for their sexuality. Because I suspect that most of them simply don't care about the other person's gender. I think they're attracted to the person themselves, regardless of gender. And now that people accept that there are more than two genders, the "bi" in "bisexual", meaning "two" seems overly specific.
But anyways, back to the example at hand, assuming that his type of "bi" means that he cares about other stuff more than gender, it's hard to imagine a worse way to come onto him than to do what that lady did. "I have a terrible personality, now let's see that hard dick."

in reply to LOGIC💣 • • •Not an expert, but I've always understood that what you're describing is pansexual. I've understood the bisexual is general attraction to both men and women. Pansexual is attraction to any person.
Again, give or take any given person's own chosen labels and attractions that might vary.

in reply to pwnicholson • • •I've heard that. I've heard bi used to mean you're attracted to more than one gender but not all. Also heard and used it interchangeably with pan.
I say this as someone who's pan and called themselves bi for most of their life.
So long as you can communicate the sorta people you wanna fuck I think that's the important part.

in reply to LOGIC💣 • • •Some people lack the mental capacity to deal with more than two options, and try to force everyone else into one or the other of their faulty categories.
The proper response to such a question is "Were you dropped on your head as a baby?"

in reply to LOGIC💣 • • •There is debate, but th generally accepted difference is:
Bisexual people like men, women, non binary, however the gender presentation can enter into the “attraction”. IE, if you like girls, you only like girls who present as X.
Pan sexual, th gender presentation is not part of it they are attracted to someone. It’s more about >this person< than about generalities.
Source: am Bi, have many bi and pan friends.
Bisexuality is NOT trans/non binary exclusionary as a general rule (people are still sometimes assholes).
Also you can be bi and be in a heteronormative relationship.

He should have asked her to prove she was actually a journalist.

Funny how bi men dont exist in societies eyes but bi women are all over the place.
The patriarchy is real.
