You’ve probably done this. You read something that made you angry, even though you didn’t need to. You felt your body tense. Your jaw set. Your pulse jump. You kept reading anyway. Not because it helped. Not because it mattered. But because stopping felt worse than continuing. That

The Silence That Came Before It… Donald Trump has never shown much inclination toward the rituals of mourning. Public deaths tend to pass him by without remark. Soldiers killed abroad.
