Afghanistan: Taliban morality police replace women’s ministry with Department of Vice & Virtue
The Taliban appear to have shut down the women’s affairs ministry and replaced it with a department that once enforced strict religious doctrines.
On Friday, the sign at the ministry was removed, and a sign for the ministry of virtue and vice put in its place.
Videos on social media showed women employees outside the offices, urging the Taliban to let them return to work.
During the Taliban rule in the 1990s, the ministry forced strict Islamic rules and harsh restrictions on women.

The Conservatives are accusing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau of calling the election to cover up details of what happened at Canada’s only level 4 laboratory, where a Canadian government scientist reportedly collaborated with a high-ranking Chinese military officer.

LONDON, ONT. — With three days left in the 2021 federal election campaign and polling suggesting a Liberal win maybe the most likely outcome, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole was laser-focused on one message Friday: a vote for any party other than his is a vote for Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.

Heads Explode as a TikTok Influencer Pushes Back on the Term ‘Unvaxxed’ and Declares Herself, ‘PureBlood’
A TikTok Influencer named Lindsay Marie decided to create a video to protest the term “unvaxxed.” This term has been foisted upon those who either cannot get the COVID-19 vaccine or who simply refuse to do so. This could be because they feel they don’t need it, or because they have the natural immunity that comes with having contracted COVID-19 and recovered. One global COVID tracker has this number at over 200 million people, so sparking a conversation on how all these people want to be seen is not out of the box.
