I wrote an article diving into the statistics on far-right extremist violence compared to far-left extremist violence, and to say the least, it’s not a “both sides” problem. An estimated 75% of extremist killings in the US over the past decade are attributed to far-right extremists, compared to 4% attributed to far-left extremists — and that’s on the high end of the estimates for far-left extremist violence.

The New America Foundation, which breaks down the categories of extremist violence a bit more than ADL, found that only one extremist killing since 9/11 is attributable to left-wing extremism, compared to 122 deaths attributed to far-right extremism. Here’s what that looks like visualized:

I have never received something like this. We are experiencing a rise in hate, while many look the other way or seek to profit from it. I refuse to allow this to be the norm and a part of my child’s future. I will fight against hate and extremism and for decency and acceptance.

Russia attacking Kherson. So in Kremlinworld, Russia is attacking Russians. Yet the Russian media are not very outraged about this. 🤨

Overwhelming evidence of outdoor transmission of Omicron by a man jogging through a park without a mask. Using surveillance videos, Chinese CDC investigators identified 256 people who passed within a meter of Patient zero as he jogged through the park without a mask. 13 (5%) were infected. He infected another 20 out of 20,496 park visitors beyond 1 meter. Nothing beats a surveillance state for contact tracing. https://covid.dropcite.com/articles/0bda88cc-8aaf-4de6-94f2-4bd23ee5c036

IF further proof was needed that infection with SARS-CoV-2 has long-term sequelae for the human body, research led by Monash University has provided it, highlighting the need for GPs and other frontline physicians to be aware of their patients’ COVID-19 history.

The research, led by epidemiologist and PhD candidate Stacey Rowe, and coauthored by Victorian Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton and renowned infectious disease epidemiologist Professor Allen Cheng, among others, is published by the MJA.

Putin can stop selling oil to Turkey, India and China any day he likes. Except he won't because he can't afford it, and he hardly wants to anger those countries.

It's cowardice and half-measures that got us in this mess in the first place. The longer we drag this on the higher the cost and the higher the risk.

It's infuriating that countries continue to pussyfoot around Putin fearing minor inconveniences, when it's clear that the least-cost option for the world economy, for Europe and above all for Ukraine is to finish off him and his army as fast and decisively as possible.

This is the latest demonstration that Putin-appeasers are alive and going strong behind the scenes in spite of the complete and total bankruptcy of their approach.

However, many countries are pushing for a cap in the $60-70 range, close or above the current selling price, continuing to fear retaliation from Russia.

The G7 and EU countries aim to decide the level of a price cap on Russian oil on Wednesday. This will be a momentous decision. 🧵
