A distressing video circulating on social media suggests that Russian soldiers are being used as expendable troops in Ukraine, with one captured conscript claiming to have witnessed "hundreds of bodies lying everywhere".

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

It's so clear that this has become a fixation for Trump simply because it was a throwaway line that earned ridicule, and he's a clinical narcissist who cannot ever admit to error or fault. It's the crowd sizes thing all over again, or when he sharpied the hurricane map. He cannot abide humiliation.

From banned books to banned words, Trump's no-no's include: "biased," "climate science," "women," "socioeconomic," "underprivileged," and "inequality." “Men” is not on the taboo list, in deference to the political ascendency of the Manosphere, of course.

X post by Andy Kim (@AndyKimNJ
), featuring a verification badge. The text reads, "More people need to see this. It cannot be understated. Trump is trying to criminalize the service of Habitat for Humanity and go after nonprofits who help people when they need it most. It is political retribution. It is unjust and it is a direct threat to our democracy." Below this, there is a quoted post from The New Republic (@newrepublic
), also with a verification badge, posted 1 day ago. The quoted text states, "The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for 'conspiracy to defraud the United States.' This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices...." The posts express concern about political actions targeting nonprofits and government agencies, framing it as a threat to democracy.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
