Will We Stand Up For Black Trans Lives Too?
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
Last summer, during what some have called the largest social justice uprising in United States history, the lives of Black trans people were ignored.

In Baltimore, trans activists from the LGBTQ organization Baltimore Safe Haven protested, demanding an end to police violence and an end to the erasure of the Black trans community.

Why U.S.-Turkey Tensions Were Never About the S-400 Missile System
Ali Demirdas, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Ali Demirdas* *S-400, Middle East* [image: Turkey] There are many longstanding causes of the widening rift between Ankara and Washington and the view from Turkey is one of frustration and anger.
