Absolutely horrifying. Note that at the end of the piece we learn that the UN staff member was reportedly beaten to death, not shot from a distance.

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

In the first month of 2024 Biden bombed Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and Syria...all while arming the genocide in Gaza unconditionally. The only people who call this man compassionate are white supremacists who don't consider people-of-color valuable lives

People in Gaza with cancer are dying horrible deaths because the hospitals were destroyed by weapons given to Israel by Biden with my tax dollars.

Must be nice to be able to go to a hospital and get treatment without fearing that it will be bombed to ground or that the doctors will be summarily executed

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?
