Cooks definitely had possession when his knee his the ground, in my opinion. You be the judge. #buffalobills #isthefixin

Adelaide Writers Week canceled as 180 speakers withdraw after the exclusion of a Palestinian writer Organizers of Australia’s largest free literary festival have canceled the weeklong event after most writers withdrew over the removal of an Australian Palestinian writer.

It is wonderful to see Australians stand up for #Palestine. We should be able to discuss avenues to peace, justice, and humanity without being labeled anti-Semitic or Islamophoobic. Decry murder and inhumanity on whichever "side" it occurs.

US strikes Venezuela and says its leader has been captured and flown out of the country The United States has captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flown him out of the country in an extraordinary nighttime operation that was accompanied by a flurry of strikes following months of escalating Trump administration pressure on the oil-rich South American nation.

Hi, Internet! I need some legal advice, on behalf of my country. Is extraordinary rendition of a state leader an act of war? I'm trying to figure out at what point the War Powers Act might be involved...
