Russia finally confiscated Eurovision 2016 winner Jamala’s house in Crimea. She was banned from coming to her homeland for years now, but they finally took her childhood home in Küçük Özen for presumably some family from far east Russia. This is a genocide, just like in 1944.

Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felonies counts. President Biden’s debate debacle. Democrats and Republicans had radically different responses to recent news about their presidential candidates, illustrating something important about the two major parties.
