Displaced families do not know whether to protect themselves from the rain or from missiles and planes. They only have a tattered piece of cloth to protect the bodies?

It would appear there’s been a mass exodus from Twitter, that was, I can only assume, initiated by Musk’s obvious utilisation of the platform to seemingly help elect Trump.

There are many valid explanations for the success of the far right around the world. But much of it comes down to this:
The right has realised that anything is possible, while the left has persuaded itself that nothing is possible.
