Russia's 'proud history of struggle shows it cannot be beaten. But Putin can. He’s losing, not winning. And sooner or later, like the tsars and totalitarians of old, that same eternal Russia whose name he glorifies will chew him up and spit him out.'

In its legal sense, #corruption refers to dishonest conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. It also has a 'deeper meaning, referring to the corrosion of standards, the decline of norms & the removal of moral restraints'. Both apply to #Trump&Co

To the people of my beloved Britain: Don't commit suicide by electing this phony, this piece of filth who pretends to care about you & your country. He has given his soul to #Trump & his most corrupt cronies. He already talked you into one massive act of self-harm, #Brexit. Don't do it again.

AI's future prosperity isn't certain. But it's certain that is sucks up water and energy and arable land. The jobs that they bring don't last for long. Maybe they'll pay high taxes. But maybe even that won't happen after considerable environmental damage is done.

All he does is lie. Doesn’t matter who’s interviewing him. But then again, what does news want? Advertising revenue? Audience numbers with shock reporting?

This truly is a fabulous building, and its owners are shooting themselves in the foot if they don't make needed repairs.

McLAUGHLIN: We're really looking at the data

BERMAN: All of them?

McLAUGHLIN: This is not about politics. This is about public safety. We saw the terrorist attack against us last week.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY is scary to MAGA because it has the word "Social", which is too close to "Socialism", as the Putin/Trump/FOX RW fascists have indoctrinated MAGA to FEEL. But, USA has always been a Social Democracy, or it wouldn't be "OF the People, BY the People, and FOR the People". USA FREEDOM!!

This story isn’t proof that Christians are silenced. It is proof that we’re failing at education. Students deserve better than being told that vibes = scholarship. Read the rubric. Engage the research. Let feedback change you. Critical thinking is not dead yet, but it is on life support.

As long as America sits back and does really nothing to demand that Russia cease its attack and withdraw, Putin will continue to kill women, the elderly, and children-just like Netanyahu.
