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."

The level of pure racism that leads certain people to vote MAGA is the worst kept secret in America. Oh, they’ll tell you it’s the economy, or voter fraud, or maybe the deficit even. The truth, though, is that they’re just a bunch of bigots-and thrilled to have one of their own in the White House

Raw Story: Republican campaign literature is piling up at party headquarters in western Michigan because volunteers aren't showing up to deliver it to voters, the latest sign that weariness with Trump could cost the GOP in November. This is an interesting development! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor.
