Someone asked me why I cover Ukraine’s success hitting Russian infrastructure but rarely mention Russian strikes on Ukraine. Russia targets residential areas, hospitals, orphanages, weddings. No strategic value. The aim is to cause terror. Terror is effective when it’s amplified. I’m not helping Rus

Have you noticed that far-right propagandists who claim Europe is “so dangerous” almost never show statistics comparing it to the countries they praise?
That’s because those countries are actually much more dangerous

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Putin is afraid of his society because he wants to be president until he dies. And that's why, of course, he needs society to support him.
That's why he counts on continuation of this war. And that is the big question, the big challenge for all of us.
