    Pray for People Battling Cancer (3)

    Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani defeats Andrew Cuomo, wins NYC mayoral primary

    It's been a long time since I've lived there but, back in the day, if the winner of the primary didn't get 50% of the vote, there was a runoff. Has that changed?

    World reacts to U.S. strikes on Iran with alarm, caution — and some praise

    I hate to say it but... you're right. He should've concentrated on domestic policy and, maybe, leaned a bit harder on Zelenskiy to end the Ukraine war.

    Episcopal Church ends partnership with US gov’t over white Afrikaners resettlement dispute

    A fortnight does not make you an expert. I have had organisations send me e-mails describing the situation there. Much of it is too horrific to repeat here.

    Gavin Newsom threatens to cut off California's federal taxes in Trump rebuke. Yes ,this needs to happiness. Red states talks their nonsense.
