As Rep. Liz Cheney made her high-minded pronouncements about the importance of truth and courage and genuine patriotism during the congressional hearing into the Jan. 6 insurrection, she was shadowed by a question that fairness left largely unspoken. “What about your freaking father?” But one of the propelling principles of the hearing-turned-reality-show was justice. And to have held former Vice President Dick Cheney’s lies and cowardice against her would have been blaming the child for the sins of the father. Then, two weeks after the final, prime-time hearing in which Liz Cheney declared, “We must remember that we cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation,” she posted a campaign ad featuring her dad. “He is a coward,” Dick Cheney said of Donald Trump . “A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters.” That from a man who had lied the whole country into the war in Iraq, killing thousands and costing us the sense of unity and purpose inspired by the actual … [Read more...] about Liz Cheney Championed the Truth and Then Embraced a Liar—Her Dad

I was writing my uncle Tom's obituary when a roundabout request appeared in my cell phone messages. "I have no agenda and do not want there to be any unpleasantness; I can keep quiet— but wanted you to know that Tom and I got married back in 2016. Hadn't ever been that big of a deal to us, but we were so upset over Trump's election, we wanted to do something in protest." "Well congrats four years late!" I texted back. There wasn't much more to say about a wedding announcement that arrives after one spouse passed away. I set to editing. I'd included my uncle's partner in the draft already, weighed how to describe him, a man who lived with my uncle and, in his old age, became his caretaker. I had inserted the catch-all of "partner" because that's what you do when there's an intimate relationship that everyone knows about but no one has discussed. It certainly wrong-footed me at that moment. Throughout most of his marriage to his wife, everyone knew my uncle was married to a woman … [Read more...] about “After my uncle died, we discovered the truth about his life”

Amid mounting uncertainty over Florida's recently passed "Don't Say Gay" legislation , a school district far to the north is offering teachers an alternative. On Tuesday, a letter began circulating on social media which showed the Fargo Public Schools district in Fargo, North Dakota , offering Florida teachers a more welcoming alternative. Fargo is the largest city in North Dakota by population, and the district sending the letter is the third-largest in the state, with roughly 11,300 students. "You don't know us, so we'll start with this important statement," the letter, addressed to teachers in Florida, began. "We are way OK with saying gay, or straight, or LGBTQ+. Though we have a long way to go to become a fully inclusive community, we believe it is an injustice to diminish any individual's gender identity in any way. People should be welcomed to show up as their authentic selves!" The letter was authored by district Superintendent Dr. Rupak Gandhi, Director of Equity and … [Read more...] about North Dakota schools aim to recruit Florida teachers over DeSantis bill

The United States and South Korea will begin their biggest combined military training in years next week in the face of an increasingly aggressive North Korea , which has been ramping up weapons tests and threats of nuclear conflict against Seoul and Washington, the South's military said on August 16.

Germany’s main industry lobby group warned Tuesday that factories may have to throttle production or halt it completely because plunging water levels on the Rhine River are making it harder to transport cargo. Water levels on the Rhine at Emmerich, near the Dutch border, dropped by a further four centimeters (1.6 inches) in 24 hours, hitting zero on the depth gauge. Authorities say the shipping lane itself still has a depth of almost 200 centimeters (six feet, six inches), but the record low measurement Tuesday morning highlights the extreme lack of water caused by months of drought affecting much of Europe. “The ongoing drought and the low water levels threaten the supply security of industry,” said Holger Loesch, deputy head of the business lobby group BDI. Loesch said shifting cargo from river to train or transport was difficult because of limited rail capacity and a lack of drivers. “It’s only a question of time before facilities in the chemical and steel industry have to … [Read more...] about Europe Drought: German Industry at Risk as Rhine Falls
