“Like, I’ve lost count of the number of times that somebody has said to me of a specific organization that has been turned upside down on this, “Oh, the deputy director has a trans child.” Or, oh, the journalist on that paper who does special investigations has a trans child. Or whatever. The entire organization gets paralyzed by that one person. And it may not even be widely known at that organization that they have a trans child. But it will come out, people will have sort of said quietly, and now you can’t talk truth in front of that person, and you know you can’t, because what you’re saying is: “You as a parent have done a truly, like, a human rights abuse level of awful thing to your own child that can not be fixed.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, JULY 18, 2023

With Ukrainian personnel and equipment losses mounting, the U.S. defense secretary has promised more Bradleys and Strykers will be delivered.

In June 2023, Russia’s expert community descended into a public debate about the wisdom of preemptive nuclear use.

Related: As a result, onshore oil inventories estimated at 980 million barrels at the end of June are just 20 million barrels below an all-time record in August 2020.

The SPR stands at 347 million barrels from a capacity of more than double that amount—the lowest level since 1983.
