Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

Suffering does not necessarily make your art better, but as long as you're suffering, you may as well get some art out of it.

Best way of putting it I’ve ever seen!

Many people are asking;

For the past five months, I've been doing a research fellowship studying how democracies beat elected authoritarians like Trump. I found a deceptively simple answer: if you want to save democracy, you have to *actually talk about democracy*. www.vox.com/politics/479...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
