It is journalism 101 that the answer toany headline question is invariably No.
Oh please do fuck off.
Tell you what, now ask if pathetic far right incel ideology is doing the same, because let's be honest they are far more likely.

🛑New Investigation Alert
We received a trove of documents created by a Russian influence operation last October. The company from which they leaked was dissolved the very next month. This weekend we are launching a series delving into them.

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

Kyiv.
Morning after a massive russian attack.
The district where we live is mostly without heating or electricity.
According to the mayor, 1,170 residential high-rise buildings in Kyiv are without heat (we still have a minimal one, but no power).
-19 °C outside.
This is genocide.

The embarrassment, the subordination, the loss of security of Black women for entertainment and dominance isn’t a tactic, it’s not a sideline . It’s one of their over arching organizing tactics

Emergency situation in the energy sector.
Since last night, the curfew has been eased so people can reach the Points of Invincibility (public warming and charging shelters) anytime.
We hold on.
But let’s not forget: we’re made of flesh and blood, just like you.

Fragile masculinity
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The US government is now freely killing people at sea, in other lands, and on its own streets.
It is difficult to see what more is needed for Congress and the Supreme Court to exercise their constitutional duty to check and balance what is now a rogue state abroad and a gangster state at home.

Politicians are terrified of an electorate they think is far more authoritarian and angry and right wing than it actually is, because they are out of touch because the literal media - the thing that mediates between public and polity - is corrupted
