More college educated *white* men voted for Trump than his opponent in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

Please go find exit polls that talk about gender, college education, among white voters.
Go ahead, I'll wait.

Being European is a great source of pride for me. Europe has a fantastic mix of cultures and a breathtaking geography. We have a history that beats anything else in the world. From Iceland in the north west to Mariupol in the south east we are all Europeans, and we shall defend our great continent.

Twitter is now censoring community notes that simply point out Russia’s extreme censorship. Saying that Putin banned Twitter is a thought crime.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’
Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’
Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

We have to talk about how this glorification of overwork is driving care downstream.
To compete, men are incentivized to dump care onto women in their families. And women in privileged positions are then incentivized to push care onto others more vulnerable than them.
