 Now that Donald Trump is a convicted felon, his list of countries to visit has gotten much shorter. Trump was found guilty on Thursday of 34 counts of falsifying records in an effort to keep adult film star Stormy Daniels quiet about an affair that occurred in the 2000s. That means certain freedoms Mr Trump once enjoyed may be out of his reach — and could have a serious effect on his ability to carry out his presidential duties, including travelling to foreign countries. Nearly 40 nations - including Canada and the UK - have strict policies when it...

Despite my abstract desire for a partner, I rarely wanted to actually be on the dates I’d agreed to. I didn’t look forward to them or enjoy them, no matter how fun the mini golf course or how delicious the food, and this date was no exception. As we sat outside with our melting froyo, I stared at this cishet man who had done nothing wrong and who perhaps should have been the elusive “Mr. Right” — and I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my Saturday night watching a five- and 10-year-old instead. Maybe I should have noticed the clues earlier. I was often anxious, sweaty, nauseous, and negative before these dates — which friends and family brushed off for years as nerves or general pickiness — but something felt profoundly odd that I was more enthralled with babysitting. I wondered in that moment whether I didn’t actually like men at all. Then I wondered for longer.

A 24-year-old Indian man with ties to human trafficking disguised himself as a senior citizen in an attempt to board a Canada-bound flight, but his youthful characteristics didn’t match the older man he claimed to be.
