Reconciling Rage with Hope
I struggled with which word to put first. Hope is fleeting. It takes work to maintain. Rage lingers; it sticks with you, ceaselessly demanding attention. /1

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

Don’t look away. Watch Hanan’s speech from today on CSPAN. She is the wife of Jamal Khashoggi and deserves to be heard.

These are facts.
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

People who consider “Democrats” an external thing they take no responsibility for yet complain about incessantly should be treated briefly with contempt and promptly ignored.
Until they figure out the difference between THEY and WE you can identify this as mediocre ego stroking and move on.

And Democrats haven’t done a damn thing to create an effective opposition party to the unlawful and illegal regime the Republicans have created.
And the American people know it.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

I'm thinking of all the nasty stuff in Chomsky's record.
Denying the Cambodian genocide. Supporting Milosevic. Denying the Bosnian genocide. Undermining anti-Communist dissidents in Western academia. Cheering the death of Venezuelan democracy. Spreading Russian propaganda.
This is long overdue.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Curious, no encampments on college campuses for this.
Good morning readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
In the towns near Ukraine's frontline, Russian FPV drones hunt civilians, a new tactic called a "human safari".
Yana, who lives in Kherson, regularly sees these drones and the damage they cause.

Russia’s disturbing human ‘safaris’
Violating the laws of war, Russians have created a sick game of hunting civilians with FPV drones near the frontline. We take you behind the scenes, to the people most affected.
