Defund NPR. Just saw an incredibly woke article they wrote today:

The same day an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Macklin Good, immigration officers used chemical irritants on a crowd that included students during dismissal time at a Minneapolis high school. Last week, a family trying to get around a volatile protest was tear gassed in their car. Their 6-month-old baby was hospitalized. In previous statements about both incidents, Department of Homeland Security officials defended the actions of immigration officers.
And on Wednesday in the northern suburb of Columbia Heights, federal officers detained a 5-year-old boy, who lawyers for the family say was used as "bait" to draw family members out of their home. Officials with the Columbia Heights Public School District say federal agents have detained three other students, all under 18, in recent weeks.

If truly EVERYTHING that NPR writes will have a far-left slant, there's no way it should be publicly funded.

you fashy folks are starting to feel a little guilty about what you are seeing done in your name, aren't you!

go deep, find your soul. It's there, just keep pushing the trump slime off it.

I think there's a much larger number of deeply cynical people in this country than many of us realized. What we see as repulsive and depraved they see as a social pass to be the deeply flawed and irredeemable people they are. They enjoy a post fact society. They drool over the idea that "nothing is my fault if I simply don't admit fault." They've never been intellectually curios enough for nuanced thought nor empathetic and humane enough for the complexity of feeling sorrow and solidarity for anyone who isn't themselves. We approach this time by showing to their faces their own cognitive dissonance, false correlations, and misery-motivators, but they've never cared that any of these things are true about themselves; they're just happy to be living in a world that seemingly no longer cares how pathetic they are.

The U.S. and its NATO allies, primarily the U.K., Canada and Norway, have been expanding military presence in the Arctic region for decades. (The addition of Sweden and Finland to NATO has been enormous in terms of NATO's Arctic military presence and security). The expansion really began in the late 1990s when the U.S. Pentagon (DOD/DOW) determined, before most others (and contrary to what many idiots still believe), that climate change was going to open up the Arctic to commercialization as well as corresponding military security concerns.

Contrary to MAGA belief, Trump was not the first person to look at a globe and notice the location of Greenland in the Arctic region, and he was not the first one to draw up a map of possible Russian missile trajectories. There were many others before him, including the defense departments of the US (Pentagon) and most NATO allies, which have drawn up plans and assessments regarding Arctic military security for many years now. NATO has agreed and re-agreed continuously and going back many years to continue Arctic military and security initiatives.

Recent political hype and sensationalism regarding Greenland has been (1) based on fake premises and target audience ignorance (2) very detrimental to America's relationships with key allies, (3) detrimental to American business and (4) foolish spectacle.

nah it's just team red vs team blue

former conservatives want to make Dems cry more than they want to be good people or preserve democracy and civil liberties.

but in real life, if you need help, these people would be there for you. They aren't devoid of empathy. They just let Trump manipulate them into hatred of city folks.

Same thing is in 1984. Unite a group via hatred for the other team. Oh yeah, the Nazis did that too.
