How to shield Ukraine from America’s culture wars

The democracy-vs.-autocracy frame isn't promoting consensus at home. Here's a better way to gain support from across the U.S. political spectrum for backing Kyiv.

BREAKING: The January 6 Committee has officially made four CRIMINAL referrals to the Dept of Justice against Donald J. Trump. They are:

1—Obstruction of an official proceeding
2—Conspiracy to defraud the United States of America
3—Conspiracy to make a false statement (fake electors)
4—Incite, assist, or aid an Insurrection

Justice delayed is justice denied. DOJ—You’re up! Don’t let America down!

I was just reading a post with “Christian” in their profile and their love of muskrat. Tell me if I’m wrong but aren’t Christians meant to follow Jesus? You know the man who was for the poor and freeing people from oppression. Yet these types seem to be for the rich oppressors?

Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s Twitter takeover and is now also backing Post.news, Twitter’s main competitor outside Mastodon. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take!
