“Russian authorities have outlawed Human Rights Watch as an ‘undesirable organisation,’ a label that, under a 2015 law, makes involvement with it a criminal offence. Friday’s designation means the international human rights group must stop all work in Russia, and opens those who cooperate with or support the organisation to prosecution. HRW has repeatedly accused Russia of suppressing dissenters and committing war crimes during its ongoing war against Ukraine. … The decision by the Russian prosecutor general’s office is the latest move in a crackdown on Kremlin critics, journalists and activists, which has intensified since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.” (11/29/25)
“Our system of government already empowers voters to remove ineffective, corrupt or otherwise problematic representatives and senators. All members of Congress must run for reelection if they wish to continue serving. If constituents are displeased with the body of work that their elected representatives have put in during a given term, they can simply decline to reelect them.” (11/29/25)
“The director of the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine division told agency staff in a memo that an internal review found that at least 10 children died ‘after and because of receiving’ the Covid vaccine. The 3,000-word memo, obtained by NBC News, was written by Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. In it, Prasad claims that agency staff determined that ‘no fewer than 10’ of 96 child deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, between 2021 and 2024 were ‘related’ to Covid vaccination. He said the true numbers could be higher, accusing the agency of ignoring the safety concerns for years.” (11/29/25)
“Over the last November weekend of 2025, a memo circulated throughout the Federal Food and Drug Administration that might well trigger the entire unraveling of the US vaccine program with a focus on the mandated Covid shot in particular. The author is Dr. Vinay Prasad, who was a moderate critic during the Covid but has become ferocious since his appointment as the head of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the FDA. … It is reprinted in full below.” (11/29/25)
“Governments at a wildlife trade conference have adopted greater protections for over 70 species of sharks and rays amid concerns that overfishing is driving some to the brink of extinction. The measures, approved Friday at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in Uzbekistan, bans the trade in oceanic whitetip sharks, manta and devil rays as well as whale sharks. It would strengthen regulations for gulper sharks, smoothhound sharks and the tope shark, which means they can be traded, but there must be proof the sources are legal, sustainable and traceable. Governments also agreed to enact zero-annual export quotas for several species of guitarfishes and wedgefishes, meaning the legal international trade will mostly be halted.” (11/29/25)
“As more Americans make politics central to their identity, civil society erodes. Is authoritarianism the inevitable result of a quest to find meaning through politics?” (11/28/25)
“The African Union suspended Guinea-Bissau following a military coup, saying it won’t tolerate unconstitutional changes. … Speaking to The Associated Press on Saturday evening, former president Umaro Sissoco Embaló’s chief of staff said the ousted leader traveled to the Republic of the Congo overnight and arrived Saturday morning. … Guinea-Bissau, one of the world’s poorest countries, has been dogged by coups and attempted coups since its independence from Portugal more than 50 years ago, including a coup attempt in October.” (11/29/25)

“The irrational murders of two children and the wounding of several more at the hands of a killer in Minneapolis remind us again that Americans live in a very sick society. Not surprisingly, we hear the standard response whenever this sort of thing happens, which is on a regular basis — that we just need more gun control. Never mind that the killer’s guns were all legally acquired and that the shootings took place in a mandatory ‘gun-free’ zone. What Americans do not want to confront is the more basic question: Why does this sort of random, irrational killing occur on a regular basis here in the United States? After all, there is widespread gun ownership in Switzerland, and yet the Swiss don’t experience these types of regularly occurring irrational mass killings.” (11/28/25)
