Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired the head of the country’s security service and its prosecutor general on Sunday, citing hundreds of criminal proceedings into treason and collaboration by people within their departments.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lamented the cost of working as a member of Congress in an Instagram post despite her substantial congressional salary.

In Lebanon, ‘Soldiers of God’ threaten the LGBT community and condemn civil marriage
At the end of June, a widely circulated video showed a floral display, installed for Pride Month in Beirut, being vandalised. The video was shot by the perpetrators themselves, a group who call themselves the “Soldiers of God”. This group says they are fighting against civil marriage and the “abuses” committed by the LGBT community in Lebanon.
On June 24, a group of men filmed themselves in front of a rainbow-coloured flower arrangement in the predominately Christian neighbourhood of Achrafieh, Beriut, on Sassine Street. They were reciting verses from the Old Testament.
“[They are] wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are kidnapping our children. [Homosexuality] is a sin fatal to the body and soul,” one of them rages.

Judy Sgro, a Liberal member of Parliament, was herself just trying to get home from the West Block on Parliament Hill when she noticed a man in his forties following her. It was during the “Freedom Convoy” protests this winter, when anti-government and anti-vaccine-mandate protesters occupied the downtown streets for three weeks.
The incident quickly went from bizarre to frightening for Sgro, who has served in office for more than 30 years and says she has never been confronted in the way she was that night.
