I wish mine did…. They persist in believing she brought it on herself by being there. If so, no one is safe.

That’s MAGA for you: tremendously sensitive to slights, unable to tolerate even a whiff of criticism, with a chip on its shoulder when out of its element.

With everything that has happened this week, you know what didn’t happen?

The release of the Epstein files.

Meanwhile, Putin is gloating at the possible (looming?) disintegration of NATO—or perhaps even egging Trump on?

That heaviness you feel after events like yesterday is real. We've all accumulated a lot of mental and emotional weight in the first year of Trump's disastrous presidency. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-physic...
The physical weight of Trumpism
That heaviness you feel, that drag on your mental health, that drain on your emotional energy and lethargy in the face of world events, like yesterday, is real.

I kind of like this idea of a "new year's tree". (Also useful for agnostics.)

It’s Not a Christmas Tree, It’s a Balkan New Year Tree!
Many Balkan Muslims put up a decorated tree in winter to celebrate New Year – a tradition that’s widely misunderstood by both Christians and some other Muslims.

The only way to end Russia's war is with Ukraine's victory.

There's a straightforward way to achieve this quickly:
–impose a total embargo on Russia
–help Ukraine destroy every oil and gas facility in Russia west of the Urals
–arm Ukraine to liberate the occupied territories

“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

REPORTER: What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?

TRUMP: The big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land

Streets of Kherson covered with anti-drone nets to protect civilians from russian drones.

A city where russians regularly hunt civilians with drones in the infamous “human safari” for sport and for entertainment, still finds ways to carry on 💔

Pope Leo XIV voiced support for Ukraine, expressing concern over renewed strikes on cities. He called for prayers for a just and lasting peace, noting the toll on civilians, especially children, and the destruction of homes as winter sets in. “I stand close to those who suffer so cruelly,” he said.
