Dear Friend, Somewhere in Wonderland the Queen told Alice: "Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." If you don't have any impossible things for today, here are some courtesy of the U.S. corporate media: 1. Ukraine is about to win the war, has been about to win the war for years now, and can go on being about to win the war for years to come. For a more coherent look at what's actual and possible, see: Raise Your Privileged Hand If You’re Willing To ‘Fight To The Last Ukrainian’
 2. President Biden is providing the weaponry, military assistance, vetoes to fend off the rest of the world's governments' peace efforts, and endless propaganda support for the war on Gaza precisely because he's merely an observer asking the warmakers very sincerely to cease fire. Here's a possible alternative: Dodging Biden’s Moral Collapse Is No Way to Defeat Trump
 3. The best way to reduce crime is to reject the policies of addressing social needs, rehabilitation, and reconciliation that tend to best reduce crime, and instead choose less effective policies that are accompanied by shouts of "Get tough on crime" or, alternatively, in the words of the Queen of Hearts: "Sentence first, verdict afterwards!" For insights into a different approach, see: On The Brink: The Rise And Fall Of San Francisco’s Progressive District Attorney  4. We need to stop democracy to protect Cop City to protect democracy. Or perhaps there's a problem here: Atlanta Changes Its Election Rules To Stymy Cop City Activists  5. War has always been with us and always will be with us as there are no alternatives to it, or in the words of George Orwell: "We have always been at war with Eastasia." Or does believing that require keeping some other things silent? Only the Good Die in Silence  6. The Israeli military is defending democracy and resisting terrorism by murdering patients and doctors in hospitals. Or is that as impossible as it sounds? Israel Is Assaulting Hospitals In Gaza With Full U.S. Support
