They have a ritual called the Pledge of Allegiance.

They make children recite it.

Every morning. In school. Standing, hand over heart, facing the flag.

One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

They start doing this when children are five years old. Before children can read. Before children can form political opinions. Before children have any framework for evaluating what they are pledging or to whom or why.

They are trained in devotion before they are capable of skepticism.

And then, twenty years later, when someone presents them with evidence that the nation they pledged themselves to at five years old has committed systematic atrocities across the world, people are surprised that rational argument doesn't land cleanly.

You are not arguing with an adult's political opinions.

You are arguing with something that was installed before the adult existed.

This is not an accident.

A population capable of genuine critical thought about its own government's actions is a population that is harder to send to war.

Harder to tax for military budgets.

Harder to keep quiet when the next intervention begins.

So they start early.

Every morning. Hand over heart.

Before the questions can form.

It takes time for the public to realize when something has really, really changed. What is happening in Minnesota is legitimately a civil war, conducted by an evil regime, terrorizing and killing its own citizens as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign. It's real, and happening

@bundeskanzler Wir müssen uns von der Abhängigkeit Amerikas frei machen, um Europa und Deutschland zu schützen. Jegliches weiterw Abhängigkeit verschlechtert nur die lage in naher Zukunft, auch wenn es erstmal 2-5 Jahre "frieden" Bedeutet. Danke. 2/2

The Russian army has once again been forced to push back the deadlines it had drawn up for itself for capturing Pokrovsk and Dobropillia. And every Russian loss contributes to our ability to defend our state, our people, our independence.

It is symbolic that today we have the most positive European Commission report in three years. This gives Ukrainians even more motivation as Europe recognizes our joint efforts. Ukraine is doing everything to gain EU membership. Even in wartime, even amid the toughest battles, our state keeps moving forward in the membership talks, which is absolutely unprecedented across Europe. Every other EU member state has followed a much easier path.

It is crucial that our results are met with proper support in Europe – that the EU fulfills its commitments. Ukraine is ready to open the clusters, and we need a European decision on this. I thank everyone who is helping. I am proud of our people, proud of every single one of our warriors.

Zur aktuellen Lage

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Last night, the Russian army carried out another massive attack on our energy infrastructure. Various facilities were targeted in several regions – Odesa, Poltava, Chernihiv, and Ternopil. In total, the Russians used nearly 70 missiles, both cruise and ballistic, as well as almost 200 attack drones. All of this was directed against infrastructure that ensures normal life. Currently, repair and restoration work is ongoing wherever needed. Unfortunately, ordinary residential buildings have also been damaged. In Kharkiv, a Russian missile hit close to an apartment building. People were injured. They are receiving the necessary assistance.

Today, F-16 fighter jets and Mirage aircraft provided by France were used to protect Ukrainian skies. In particular, the Mirages successfully intercepted Russian cruise missiles. Thank you! I also want to recognize the performance of our anti-aircraft missile forces, army aviation, all our electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups.

The first steps toward real peace must include forcing the sole source of this war, Russia, to stop such attacks against life. And this is something that can be effectively monitored. Silence in the skies – banning the use of missiles, long-range drones, and aerial bombs. And silence at sea – a real guarantee of normal navigation. Ukraine is ready to pursue the path to peace, and it is Ukraine that strives for peace from the very first second of this war. The task is to force Russia to stop the war.

AOC: Why isn’t this moving? Republicans support it. Democrats support it. So what happened?

On December 15th at 415am, Elon Musk began firing off a barrage of social media posts opposing pharmacy benefit manager reform. All of a sudden, something that had almost unanimous support fell apart. We had nearly 435 members on board with it—he tweets, and it kills drug pricing reform that would save people money on their insulin, asthma inhalers, and everything they need.

And to top it off, five days after he kills pharmacy benefit manager reform, we get this tweet from Elon Musk: What is a pharmacy benefit manager?

The problem here isn’t a substance issue or a process issue—it’s an oligarchy issue, a power issue. And this room is where the power of the people resides. Everyone here was elected to be accountable to the people—not to be governed by tweets, but to be governed by their duly elected representatives.

So we can get this done; there are more of us than there are of him.

Germany votes tomorrow. 1 in every 5 voters will vote far right. How can this be in the country of ‘never again’? Could Nazis really rise to power here again?
The answer: Oh ja. German comedian Jan Böhmermann breaks down why (in English):

You are totally making things up. I’m not even worth $1 million. Nor even $500k. I don’t even own a house! I am one of the lowest net worth members of Congress, trade no stock, and take no outside income.

My filings are public. I loathe corruption, and your lying is disgusting.
