There is some argument to be made about how only the woman in this sordid scenario is paying a price but it is not a lynching in any way shape or form. I wish people demonstrated even a slight understanding of history.

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself

History suggests that things don't go well when white nationalists are warning against "civilizational erasure" in Europe
The new US National Security Strategy makes for scary reading. I wrote about how the US wants to support forces in Europe to tear itself apart back in November 2024, and last May. This NSS confirms that's exactly the US objective for Europe.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
