Denver City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca said she has been weathering a storm of criticism — some of which is racist and includes death threats — since an election forum on Thursday when she described a reparations strategy of taxing white-owned businesses.The barrage of hate speech particularly ramped up after a far-right and anti-LGBTQ social media account shared a clip of CdeBaca — who is running for reelection — at the forum, hosted by the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance.In that clip, CdeBaca discusses taxing white-owned businesses and offering the money to businesses owned by people of color.“Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labors and stolen resources,” CdeBaca, whose district covers much of Denver’s inner core, including Five Points and Globeville, said. “You could be collecting those extra taxes from white-led businesses all over the city and redistributing them to Black and Brown-owned businesses.”But CdeBaca told The Denver Post those c...

By SUSIE BLANN (Associated Press)KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia enacted a major security clampdown before Tuesday’s annual commemorations marking the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, curbing the use of drones and ride-sharing services in its largest cities — even jet skis on the canals of St. Petersburg — amid its 14-month war with Ukraine.At least 21 Russian cities canceled May 9 military parades — the staple of Victory Day celebrations across Russia — for the first time in years, Russian media said.

It wasn’t clear whether their decisions were taken in coordination with the Kremlin.Last week, Russia — which hasn’t witnessed the carnage endured by Ukraine during the invasion — was rattled by ambiguous official reports that two Ukrainian drones flew into...

As pickleball continues to grow and flourish in the States, an influx of companies are jumping on the bandwagon and taking notice of the limited apparel options that are specific to pickleball. With the pandemic spiking its popularity from 2020 onward, pickleball is no longer a sport reserved for the retirement village; pickleball has gone mainstream!
