Pro-migration advocates are using the World Cup soccer games in the United States to argue that illegal migrants — and their employers — should get a stand-down in ICE's enforcement operations.

On both sides of the Atlantic, men, especially young men, are dying by suicide at rates that should freeze governments in their tracks. But the powers that be don’t seem to notice.
The U.K. watches males of all ages go under — boys dropping out of school, men in their 20s drifting between short-term jobs and long nights alone, 30s lost to drink, dread, or sheer exhaustion. The U.S. watches its men go under, too. Their suicide rates dwarf those of women, and overdose deaths skew heavily male.
When a young man limps into therapy, he’s met with soft voices, polite nods, and vague talk about letting his guard down.
Whenever this comes up, we hear the same insufferable chorus: Why won’t these men just go to therapy?
As if it’s that simple. As if men are ignoring a perfectly functioning safety net. As if they’re being stubborn for sport.
Girl talkMost men aren’t avoiding therapy because they fear healing, but because the entire system is built with someone else in mind.
Walk into the average psychology department, clinic, or counseling office and look around. The landscape is overwhelmingly female — in training, in staffing, in leadership, in tone. In both the U.K. and the U.S., the majority of therapists are women.
While that isn’t inherently bad — many of these therapists are excellent — it does mean the system has been shaped by female norms, female communication styles, and female emotional instincts.
This is not a conspiracy theory but just an honest acknowledgment of reality. Men and women don’t experience mental suffering the same way. They don’t express it the same way. They don’t process it the same way. A woman in distress tends to talk her way outward. A man tends to go inward until the pressure builds, then either falls silent or implodes. Women spiral verbally; men quietly.
So when a young man limps into therapy — desperate, numb, maybe half a step away from ending it all — he enters a world where the emotional rules weren’t written for him. He’s told to “open up,” “talk through it,” “share feelings,” “name the emotion.” He’s met with soft voices, polite nods, and vague talk about letting his guard down. What he’s not met with is someone who speaks his language.
It’s a mismatch from the very first minute.
Manning upAnd because therapy culture is so thoroughly feminized, a man struggling with anger, confusion, despair, or loss often feels like a stranger adrift in a foreign country — grappling with an unfamiliar language and baffling customs.
That’s not the therapist’s fault. But it is the system’s fault.
And this is the part no one wants to say out loud: Men respond better to men. Not because women are incompetent, but because no matter how skilled a female practitioner is, she will never fully understand what it means to move through the world as a man. Just as no man will ever fully understand the interior life of a woman.
A man who has lost his job, lost his marriage, or lost his sense of purpose doesn’t want to explain the weight of male shame to someone who has never carried it. A man who feels emasculated doesn’t want to define the word emasculated from scratch. A man drowning in a culture that treats masculinity as a pathology doesn’t want to walk into a room where he suspects that belief might subtly be shared.
And yes, he may be wrong. But suffering doesn’t make people clear-headed. If anything, it makes them cautious.
This is why men light up when paired with a male therapist — someone who knows the codes: the long pauses, the tight jaw, the clipped sentences, the jokes that aren’t jokes, the sudden confession buried in small talk. Someone who knows what it feels like to fail publicly and hurt privately. Someone who knows that “I’m fine” is never fine. Someone who understands that for men, emotional honesty often comes disguised as humor, deflection, or irritation.
But right now, the system expects men to adapt to it, not the other way around.

Pundit patriarchyAnd so the suicide numbers climb. Young men continue to vanish. Fathers fade. Sons and brothers never return home. Journalists write “What’s Wrong with Men?” think pieces. And the cycle rolls on, as pathetic as it is predictable.
If this were happening to young women, the entire culture would pivot. Funding would pour in. Campaigns would explode. Universities would redesign programs overnight. Therapy models would be reimagined to match the needs of the group in crisis.
But because it’s men — the group everyone assumes will always be fine, always be strong, always survive — nothing moves.
Maybe the darkest irony is that the very qualities that make men decline therapy — the sense of being misunderstood, mismatched, and misplaced — are the same qualities pushing them to the edge in the first place.
And unless the mental health world learns to meet men where they are, with approaches shaped by men who understand men, the funerals will continue, and everyone will keep acting surprised.

A race agitator who has railed against the criminal justice system over the murder conviction of Karmelo Anthony has a criminal conviction that has resulted in a suspended law license.
Thelma Anderson has made multiple appearances on camera since Anthony was found guilty of murder on Tuesday in the stabbing of Austin Metcalf in April 2025. Anderson and others professed that Anthony, who is black, was the real victim, not Metcalf, who was white.
During this suspension, Anderson is prohibited from 'practicing law in Texas.'
She told Roland Martin that the courthouse was a "slaughterhouse," that Anthony and his family had been "legally lynched" by the system and the Metcalf family, and that "the energy right now is their white supremacy."
Anderson also took aim at the prosecutor, characterizing him as "overzealous" and accusing him of lying during the trial. She even claimed he has an "unethical background."
Anderson did not elaborate on what the prosecutor had supposedly done, but she also failed to mention some key details about her own background.

Though she implied to groups gathered outside the courthouse that she offered legal expertise "as a former prosecutor," Anderson cannot currently practice law in the state of Texas. According to the State Bar of Texas, her license has been under "interlocutory suspension" since March 3 for "disciplinary reasons."
Indeed, in May 2024, the DOJ charged Anderson with three counts related to a COVID-relief loan. She subsequently pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and was sentenced to four years of probation and ordered to pay nearly $21,000 in restitution to the U.S. Small Business Administration, according to the Board of Disciplinary Appeals appointed by the Texas Supreme Court.
Though Anderson has appealed her conviction, the federal charges alone led to her dismissal from her position as a part-time substitute municipal judge in Forth Worth. A month after they were filed, the Fort Worth City Council voted unanimously to remove her.
Earlier this year, a three-member panel of the Board of Disciplinary Appeals appointed by the Texas Supreme Court claimed that Anderson had attempted to game the system regarding her disciplinary hearing by "repeatedly" seeking to delay the board's decision "through last-minute filings and tactics."
According to the interlocutory order of suspension, Anderson filed at least seven motions between the afternoon of January 29 and just before midnight on February 26 requesting some type of delay or reconsideration.
Those motions may have slowed the progress of her case, but they ultimately did not prevent the board from suspending her license.
"Having been convicted of an intentional and serious crime and having appealed such conviction, respondent, Thelma M. Anderson, shall have her license to practice law in Texas suspended during the appeal of her criminal conviction," the board decided.
Additionally, during this suspension, Anderson is prohibited from "practicing law in Texas, holding herself out as an attorney at law, performing any legal service for others, accepting any fee directly or indirectly for legal services not completed before the date of this order, appearing as counsel in any proceeding in any Texas court or before any Texas administrative body, or holding herself out to others or using her name, in any manner, in conjunction with the words 'attorney at law,' 'attorney,' 'counselor at law,' 'Esquire,' 'Esq.' or 'lawyer,'" the board ruled.
In response to a request for comment about the wire fraud conviction, Anderson told Blaze News, "Continue to watch." Anderson hung up after Blaze News requested comment about the suspended law license.
Bill Wirskye, who prosecuted the Anthony case, did not respond to a request for comment.

Karmelo Anthony has filed a notice of appeal in the wake of his murder conviction earlier this week in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year, KDFW-TV reported.
Anthony, 19, was sentenced to 35 years in prison Tuesday — the same day he was found guilty of murder. He will be eligible for parole after he serves half that time behind bars. The Collin County jury that convicted him also sentenced him; the term of Anthony's sentence open to jurors ranged from five years to 99 years behind bars.
'It's really, really tough to convince the Court of Appeals to overturn a jury verdict once the jury has sat through and heard all the evidence.'
Anthony's attorneys formally filed the notice of appeal, KDFW said, adding that the filing is a routine procedure in serious felony cases, doesn't mean a new trial has been granted, and that the appeal process can take months or even years to resolve.
Dallas appellate attorney David Coale told KTVT-TV that Anthony's legal team could have several strong arguments on appeal — but that any appeal won't be about what the jury heard; rather it would focus on whether the trial was handled correctly.
The case will be assigned to the 5th District Court of Appeals, which is in downtown Dallas, KTVT said, adding that the 5th District Court of Appeals hears all cases from Dallas County, Collin County, and several other metropolitan counties.
KTVT added that Anthony's attorneys next will request that the Collin County District Clerk's Office send documents to the Court of Appeals and that the court reporter prepare a transcript addressing the facts of the case and any legal issues.
The defense likely will argue that there wasn't enough evidence to convict for murder, KTVT said.
But appellate attorney Chad Ruback told KTVT that may prove to be a difficult road.
"It's really, really tough to convince the Court of Appeals to overturn a jury verdict once the jury has sat through and heard all the evidence," Ruback noted to the station. "It's entirely possible that the attorneys for Mr. Anthony could argue that maybe the trial court judge didn't let in some evidence that would have swayed the jury, that would have persuaded the jury to render a not guilty verdict, or a manslaughter verdict, for example."
A new mug shot of Anthony was taken Tuesday — the day of his conviction and sentencing — after he was placed in the custody of the Collin County Sheriff's Office:

On Wednesday, Anthony was transported to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice where another new booking photo was taken, KDFW reported.
Anthony was then transported to his unit of assignment at the Pack Unit near Navasota, KDFW added. Navasota is about three and a half hours south of Frisco.
In addition, Anthony's GiveSendGo fundraiser — which took in around $630,000 for legal and living expenses — was shut down the day after his conviction and sentencing, the New York Post reported.
GiveSendGo differs from GoFundMe as it allows fundraisers for criminal cases, and the Post added that the platform confirmed the fundraiser closure in a statement to the paper.
“The fundraiser was supported to support pre-trial needs, and those funds were disbursed over the last year,” the statement read, according to the Post. “With that stated purpose complete, the fundraiser has been closed.”
However, Anthony's mother — Kala Hayes — just launched a new GiveSendGo fundraiser dedicated to her son's appeal.
The monetary goal is $425,000; as of noon Thursday $60 has been raised.
