"BRICS claims it wants to democratise the international order, but this means redistributing power among presidents, not populations." it is interesting that Iran and Saudi leaders were at the same table and signed a thing. but real principles and peoples voices not there

There are a lot of unanswered questions about what this will look like, but we are very concerned. For 35+ years, we have documented mistreatment and abuse in ICE detention, and we are staunchly opposed to expansion of these facilities or ICE detention anywhere. www.azcentral.com/picture-gall...

They even made DoorDash apologize.
DoorDash on Instagram: We messed up.
Our mistakes meant some NYC Dashers were underpaid or paid late. That's unacceptable, and we're deeply sorry to the Dashers we let down.
We've reached a settlement with the City of New York, and we will make this right by paying every impacted Dasher the amounts they are owed.

Y'all, if we put our minds to it, we can absolutely make 'disgorgement' @merriam-webster.com's 2029 word of the year.
disgorgement
Disgorgement is a remedy requiring a party who profits from illegal or wrongful acts to give up any profits they made as a result of that illegal or wrongful conduct. The purpose of this remedy is to prevent unjust enrichment and make illegal conduct unprofitable.
