Would the American people fail to understand that the death penalty has been carried out if the execution of the criminal weren’t live-streamed? Of course not. The cruel spectacle is the point.

I really don’t think it’s humans that are broken. I think that it’s the environment that the rich want us to live in that’s a major exacerbating factor.

Usually when people hide the truth it's because the truth paints them in an unflattering light.
An obvious case of corprate lawyers at major media deciding that the truth is too dangerous and must be softened.
The issue is NOT that a single Democratic Senator stated that Hegseth is hiding the true cost of the war in Iran. The REAL story is simply that Hegseth is hiding the truth.

Steve Miller Band releases “The Joker” today in 1973 — written after a long day in the studio, he said, when “I went outside with my acoustic guitar to sit on the hood of my funky old GTO and think about my lyrics for the next day. .. I had no idea it would be our next single. I didn’t have a clue.”

The Fort Hood Shooting was horrific.
At least 4 dead.
At least 14 injured.
But I bet you've never heard the name of Army Specialist Ivan Lopez, who was responsible for the 2014 Fort Hood shooting. Because you understand he reps only himself, but somehow Nidal Malik Hasan speaks for 'all Muslims.'

Part (but far from all) of what's horrific here is: a woman weighing the consequences of speaking up about being sexually assaulted, because speaking up imposes burdens and costs (and so does not speaking up).
