This week, the right basically gave up the territory on patriotism. From the mainstream right to the furthest extreme, it encouraged a foreign billionaire as he joked about invading the country and actively tried to undermine its democratic process.

Russia no longer has an army; they’re just a crime syndicate at this point
ISW has routinely assessed that Russian commanders are either complacent or enabling their subordinates to engage in POW executions in clear violation of international law.
3/ Russian forces recently executed more Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) on the battlefield.

Sikhism is a noble faith 🙏
Reminder that if you ever need a meal and can't afford it, find your local gurudwara, they will feed you a great hot meal for free, you won't even have to fetch a plate for yourself and they'll also give you a place to crash if you don't have one and there's room. gurudwara is open to all always

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!
