“The soldiers at several points fired bullets next to their feet in an effort to terrorize them, perhaps to make them amenable to following orders.

“Every time they shot at us, I instantly poked my back to check if I was still alive,” said Ahmad, recalling the soldiers’ giggles at how scared he and his family were.”

From the President. Tonight.

President Biden: "We must, without equivocation, denounce anti-Semitism. We must also without equivocation, denounce Islamophobia. To all of you hurting, those of you hurting, I want you to know: I see you. You belong. And I want to say this to you: You're all America. You're all America."

"In moments like these — when fear and suspicion, anger and rage, run hard — we have to work harder than ever to hold onto the values that make us who we are. We're a nation of religious freedom, freedom of expression. We all have a right to debate and disagree.."

American leadership is what holds the world together.
Our alliances are what keep us safe.

And our values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with.

We put all of that at risk if we walk away from Ukraine or turn our back on Israel.

It’s finally clear as day. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has announced he will run as an independent for president. He’s backed by GOP funders, and his goal is to peel away Democratic voters from Biden. Don’t be fooled by shiny third party traps. To stop Trump, we need to unite behind Biden. A vote for anyone else is a vote for Trump.

They cancelled a marathon in October because it’s too hot!

Maybe when sporting events that don’t suck get canceled, people will start to care about climate change. 🙃

If you ever need a reminder of how the Democrats are the party of the rule of the law and the Republicans are the party cowed by a mob boss, during the “impeachment inquiry” hearing in the House, the panel was asked to raise their hands if they believe that both Hunter and Trump should be held accountable if they are found guilty. The Democrats all raised their hands. None of the Republicans did.

Just some of what Republicans want to cut:

“Cutting housing subsidies for the poor by 33 percent as soaring rents drive a national affordability crisis. Forcing more than 1 million women and children onto the waitlist of a nutritional assistance program for poor mothers with young children. Reducing federal spending on home heating assistance for low-income families by more than 70 percent with energy prices high heading into the winter months.”

Their average cruelty.

Ukrainian forces chipped away another part of the Russian trench network, south of Robotyne, and reaching the outskirts of Novoprokopivka.

Additionally, the Ukrainian army widened the control near Verbove, reaching at least the perimeter of the village. This also paraphrases that the primary Surovikin line in this sector has been clearly breached.

Twenty years ago, when people were in need of information, I remember saying, “Google is your friend.”

But not anymore. 😡

I think we’ve reached the limits of consoling with “I’m so sorry you got Covid, hope your case is mild and quick”

a lot of cases will not be mild or quick 🤷🏻‍♀️

The sympathy I want to hear is “I’m so sorry you got Covid, I’m going to wear a mask more often in public spaces and try to talk to my work/school about improving indoor air quality, the more people who advocate for system shift, the sooner we decrease how many folks are risking injury and death from this preventable disease”

Must be why US taxpayers pay $2 million per month for the criminal defendant's security.

Adds proof to confirms my theory that criminal defendant Donald was trading top secrets to Iran to get off the hit list for ordering Qassim Soleimani's assassination. My guess is fat Mike Pompeo is also on the list.

5 times indicted criminal defendant arrested 4 times for 91 felony crimes Donald Trump ordered the #killing of #Qasem #Soleimani, with Mike #Pompeo and then publicly admitted it. Iran has an arrest warrant out for #criminal #defendant Donald.

Hey #Iran, get in line. We just arrested this fucker 4 times!

A key thing to understand about the technology industry is that Hacker News is a very well-known community for some kinds of coders to hang out; it is an extremist content site run as paid promotion for the venture capital firm YCombinator. Here, an ordinary discussion of the obvious reality that tech workers deserve unions features responses citing explicitly white supremacist rhetoric as a counterargument. No one is even surprised that this is how YC markets itself. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37507458
