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

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.

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.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Remember: Attitudes are viral. Social media harnesses that power greatly. We mostly see the way sadness, anger, and indifference affect each other negatively. But it works in all directions. A message of hope, gratitude, and empathy also affects us. Positively.
