A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Taken from last night’s ONEST The Daily brief
Zelenskyy also said Ukrainian intelligence had identified more than 8,000 North Korean troops currently on Russian territory, with another 10,000 being selected for training and possible deployment.
According to him, Russia has helped establish production of Shahed-type attack drones in North Korea.
Why it matters
The Russia-North Korea relationship is increasingly a two-way military exchange. If Kyiv's account is accurate, Pyongyang is receiving technology it can use beyond the war in Ukraine, while Moscow gains personnel and another source of drone production.
Today's attack also sharpens Ukraine's immediate air defense problem. Zelenskyy put the day's overall drone interception rate at 70%, but said the rate against jet-powered drones was just 57%. As winter approaches, European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas is calling on countries with Patriot interceptors in their stocks to provide them to Ukraine.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.
