Black men/women have been murdered for decades for doing that.

Your flippancy about it while sitting in so much privilege is truly offensive.

White voters could end this anytime and yet here we are- in danger because of whites but you keep being brave.

Your white audience loves it

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Trump’s policies are devastating health care in rural communities.

And now, Republicans have shut down the government instead of fixing the health care crisis they’ve created.

A headline from ABC News reads: "'It can be a loss of life': First responders detail the deadly cost of rural hospital closures -
Rural hospitals are vanishing, and Medicaid cuts could accelerate the collapse."

The biggest story in Ukraine today is about former major of Odesa, Trukhanov, who Ukrainians absolutely hate. Instead of stepping down gracefully, Truk said he is going to fight.

I wonder how he ever got elected mayor since people hate him. But then we could ask the same about the potus.

As the Trump shutdown drags into its third week, it's clear Republicans are so committed to raising people's health care costs that they're willing to hold the country hostage to do it.

❗️Odesa deserves better protection and greater support. This can be achieved through a military administration. All necessary decisions will be made. I will appoint the head of the military administration in the near future, Zelenskyy said.

The recent NATO Summit in The Hague focused narrowly on defence spending targets but overlooked the deeper issue of societal resilience. 'Societal resilience must be seen as central, not separate, to national defence' writes Katharine A.M. Wright in the latest RUSI Commentary.

Realising Societal Resilience for a Whole of Society Approach to Defence

NATO's unity may have held in The Hague, but the focus on defence spending overshadowed a deeper issue: societal resilience.
