Since I belong to so many group chats, I often post links and stories that move me, that infuriate me and that inspire me. I often struggle to find those links again so I thought I could do a round-up of everything I read in a week.
The FBI Just Busted the King of Revenge Porn – I don’t often share news articles on Facebook. I have conflicted feelings about Facebook that aren’t necessary to get into here.

Unlinguisme de Trudeau: le Commissaire aux langues officielles enquête- R is the one who shared this in our group chat. We had a long discussion about the language requirements of the Prime Minister.

His ability to answer questions completely in both languages is quite impressive and a change from previous Prime Ministers.
Warren Buffett’s Family Secretly Funded a Birth Control Revolution – I am an avid supporter of IUD’s. I think they were the best form of birth control.

I hope the foundation’s work continues and allows more women to access this.
We broke the Panama Papers story. Here’s how to investigate Donald Trump – I love the Guardian. And I love this call to action. Maybe the only good thing about Donald Trump is how he has pushed the left and activists and the Democrats to organize, assemble and fight back.
