As things continue to heat up in Ukraine, the manufacturing of consent here in the US intensifies. A New York State County Executive is holding a gun drive to send poorly maintained long rifles purchased from Field and Stream at a discount to Ukraine. The US trucker convoy is making its way to DC just in time to protest Covid restrictions that are no longer in place, and we thank them for their service. Albany Police Chief says that officers who covered their badges last summer while crushing protests did no wrong, and their actions were the result of a miscommunication. Also, protestors are very mean. And finally, unionizing efforts at a Manhattan REI see huge success.
