Links and Stuff
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists, for the “buh Zeleski is a jew?!?!” people.
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Telegram Channels
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Last week's discussion post.
Starting October 20th the CDC will no longer be reporting daily covid cases/deaths
Pandemic is over folks!
They also recently made new guidelines for healthcare and based on what got filtered down to me, they're cutting some quarantine requirements so if someone isn't fully vaccinated they're not treated as if they're positive for their first 10 days in the facility. It also means that at least on a rehab unit like I work at, they can fill up all the beds completely because they don't need to worry about maintaining open beds in case someone isn't fully vaccinated.
The people I work with are burned out on COVID, we just cleared the COVID from my unit this last week. It got brought in by family, in the long-term parts of the building it's still going around hardcore. It's the new reality that we're faced with that we're also left picking up the pieces. Nothing is being done outside of healthcare to do anything and we're just expected to put up with it, to regularly expose ourselves to it, and just be worn down until we either are unable to continue physically, or we burn out entirely and just stop.
Death to America, killing off the most vulnerable for nothing of value just so some middle class hogs can stay "free" as demand more treats.
Genuinely I’ve noticed covid really radicalize a ton of people in healthcare. It couldn’t be more obvious that profit is all this is about
That's horrible. I'm honestly kind of surprised there are any people still working in healthcare at this point.
