NPR bears great responsibility for pushing the US toward autocracy.

NPR has been unable to accurately convey, without bothsidesism, the dangers we face.

@newz - pile it on folks. He’s already gonna get it from his family and the British press 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is not the Warren presidency, but it’s certainly a Warren-infused presidency.

@SocraticEthics - why the hell don’t they just say Russia wants help to f**k over Ukraine. You really need a study to figure that out?
