In the resignation letter she made public on Tuesday, Weiss calls out the US paper of record for being more committed to the political narrative than the truth. Any piece that "does not explicitly promote progressive causes" gets published "only after every line is carefully massaged, negotiated and caveated," she writes. Language itself is "degraded in service to an ever-shifting laundry list of right causes," while some of her colleagues nod along, hoping that would protect them.
The letter was quickly praised by some on the right. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called it "eloquent, profound, incisive — and true," while the president's son Donald Trump Jr. said it exposes the paper's tendency to attack "anyone who breaks from the far-left narrative."

The black resin and steel figure was erected in Bristol by a small team led by artist Marc Quinn at around 5am local time, the Guardian reported. It is said they worked as quickly as possible fearing that officials could arrive to stop them.
The sculpture is a re-creation of a photo of Black Live Matter protester Jen Reid standing on an empty pedestal with her fist raised shortly after the statue of Colston was toppled last month.
Comment: Bristol City Council was not impressed with the DIY memorial, who had it removed:
A black resin and steel statue, erected secretly in the dark of night where the figure of 17th century slave trader Edward Colston once stood in Bristol, has been removed by the city council after just one day.
Despite the artist claiming it would be "extremely difficult to move," council contractors removed the Reid statue at roughly 5:20am local time on Thursday morning.
The removal of the over 100-year-old statue of the wealthy merchant, politician, and slave owner Colston came amid a groundswell of anti-racism protests across the world in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police.
However, the replacement statue itself caused controversy and generated heated debate online, with many Bristolians praising the gesture, but others decrying how disrespectful it was.

In Maryland, the Landover Hills Police Department recently ordered the weapon for every officer
Police in the D.C. area and around the world are testing a new kind of electronic lasso designed to take down a suspect without hurting them.
It's called a BolaWrap and looks a little like something Wonder Woman or Spider-Man might have dreamed up. A handheld device that looks like a Taser shoots cord as far as 25 feet that wraps around a suspect's legs.
In Maryland, the Landover Hills Police Department recently ordered the weapon for every officer. Police in D.C., Maryland and Virginia are looking at the devices too.

Those present were particularly opposed to a new clause re-setting presidential term limits - this could potentially allow Vladimir Putin to run for president two more times and stay in the Kremlin until 2036. A similar event was also held in St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city.
Between 200 to 300 people gathered at Pushkin Square in central Moscow on Wednesday evening, according to estimates from Kommersant newspaper.

Juvenile hall in Los Angeles in 2014.
The teen, whose identity is being withheld because of his age, was diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, or ODD, two days after he was arrested and housed at Eastlake Juvenile Hall in June 2019, the lawsuit said. Medical records reviewed by The Times show that the teen's testosterone levels were "slightly high" when the doctor who diagnosed him prescribed daily doses of estrogen.
Estrogen regulates the development of female sexual characteristics and reproduction. Men produce the hormone at much lower levels.

In this courtroom artist's sketch, defendant Keith Raniere, center, sits with attorneys Paul DerOhannesian, left, and Marc Agnifilo during closing arguments at Brooklyn federal court, Tuesday, June 18, 2019 in New York. A federal prosecutor said Raniere used his NXIVM organization to "tap into a never-ending flow of women and money." Attorneys for the defendant say he had no criminal intent and that his sexual encounters with followers were consensual.

Outside Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, a group of people dance every night to support federal inmates, including one in particular: Kay Rose.
There is, however, no inmate by that name in the Brooklyn facility — or anywhere else in the federal prison population, for that matter. But "Kay Rose" shares the initials of someone who has spent the past two years in the downstate lockup: Keith Raniere, the leader of the formerly influential and now shattered organization known as NXIVM.

In recent years an old buzzword has gained new popularity among what Russians call 'politologists' - that class of pundits and academics who engage in public discussion on political issues. The word in question is 'civilizations', and its use reflects a growing desire to distinguish Russia from the West by claiming some essential difference between the two.
The concept of civilizations has proven particularly attractive among those of a conservative bent and allows them to make a couple of important claims. The first is that the world comprises not different countries all moving toward some common goal founded upon universally valid values and institutions, but rather unique civilizations each of which is progressing along its own separate path. The second is that Russia itself is such a civilization.
