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

They aren’t even leftists.
Leftists have zero political instincts.
Leftists: "I've been throwing punch after punch at every establishment Democratic politician I can find. Why isn't Trump begging for mercy yet?" 😗

Chomsky was just helping Epstein manufacture consent
In 2023, Chomsky told WSJ about his relationship with Epstein: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
Epstein: you are of course welcome to use apt in new york with your new leisure time, or visit new Mexico again

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.

what are you trying to say? That a whole lot of Americans are just mad, want someone to blame, and have no special plan or insight? And that this might be the cause of their own misery? And when faced with the increasingly extreme consequences for their lack of judgment, they simply lash out more?
As we have seen, there is a loud voice to get rid Schumer or have Schumer resign. My questions, who would do better, why and what would make you think a replacement would solidly unify Democrats who’ve never been unified in the Senate for several decades?

Can we all just come to terms with the fact that many large accounts on here need the Dems to "fail" to keep their content/engagement/likes up?
They pedal in outrage since their very capitalistic livelihoods depend on it.
Take that into account when listening to them...

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.
