“Canada is joining a growing list of countries seeking to protect [sic] young people from harm [sic] online by restricting their access to social media platforms. The Canadian government Wednesday introduced a new digital safety [sic] proposal that would require users to verify that they are [capable of faking being] at least 16 to access websites such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. A new regulator called the Digital Safety Commission of Canada would administer the proposed measures, officials said.” (06/11/26)

“[T]he American pontiff doesn’t appear to agree with the American president’s war policy with Iran. And Trump doesn’t take kindly to people who disagree with him. He can be downright ugly to those not on his side. Even popes. As for Leo, he’s unafraid. He sees his job as preaching the Gospel fearlessly, and he said so from the very outset of his papacy. What he said ought to inspire and uplift all of us at a time when so much else in the world seems to be falling apart.” (06/10/26)

“There is a strain of anti-liberalism regarding women’s rights that goes from one end of the horseshoe to the other. Thirty years ago, it was post-modern scholars arguing that liberalism did not know how to adequately approach women’s womb-bearing bodies, and so the liberal political system ought to be dismantled. More recently, Christian nationalists have argued that women’s rights upset the natural order. As Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist pastor, put it in an interview with CNN, women shouldn’t exert individual rights because they ‘are the kind of people other people come out of.’ While one’s inclination might be to scoff at these arguments, their common conviction that women’s rights expose the weakness of liberalism should give all of us pause.” (06/11/26)

“The colonists despised monarchy, having risked their lives fighting for independence and autonomy. Consequently, when the newly independent states created their first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, there was no executive branch. The people feared that a strong central government would threaten citizens’ rights. That weak government failed, so a new framework of government was created that included a President. Under the Constitution, this executive would be constrained by Congress. Congress issues orders, and the President executes them. Two hundred and fifty years later, our country is facing a crisis. Donald J. Trump is acting more like a monarch than an elected executive.” (06/11/26)

“Karmelo Anthony will serve his sentence while it appears the fundraising campaign for his family organized by his mother, Kala Hayes, has been taken down. Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years behind bars on Tuesday. He has since filed a notice of appeal to challenge the conviction. He said in his appeal that he cannot afford a new lawyer, WFAA reported. Those documents say, Anthony is a ‘penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,’ according to the outlet. The fundraiser was posted on GiveSendGo, an international crowdfunding platform, on April 15, 2025. It was less than two weeks after Anthony fatally stabbed 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. All the while, the fundraiser for Anthony and his family, titled, ‘Help Karmelo Official Fund,’ initially had a goal of generating nearly $1.4 million, and raised just shy of $634,000.” (06/11/26)

“Prime Minister Netanyahu has been the longest serving prime minister of Israel, having assumed the office in 1996 and served off and on for a total of almost two decades. His upcoming election looks to be a tossup, so there’s a fair chance voters will show him the door. Even if they do, analysts would be fools to write him off altogether, as they’ve tried to do many times before. And even if ‘Bibi,’ as he is known, doesn’t find a way back to power, the hardline militarism he represents will probably dominate Israeli politics for a long time. … for all the blame the man receives, he is doing what he was elected to do, and even his most hawkish supporters are far from the fringes of Israeli politics.” (06/11/26)
