Politics & activism — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 24 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 8 May 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 31 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
40 reactions across 18 posts, in 9 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 30.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 12 | 30.0% | |
| 🔥 | 11 | 27.5% | |
| ⚡ | 5 | 12.5% | |
| ❤ | 5 | 12.5% | |
| 🤯 | 3 | 7.50% | |
| ❤🔥 | 1 | 2.50% | |
| 😱 | 1 | 2.50% | |
| 🙏 | 1 | 2.50% | |
| 🤬 | 1 | 2.50% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 18 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 40 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 8 May 2026 to 31 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
FAUCI REMINDS US THAT SECURITY CANNOT BE BOUGHT WITH LOST FREEDOM Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio As new and damming information about Anthony Fauci continues to be revealed, I remember what we did to ourselves and to one another in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci stoked a paranoid madness in us in order to both expand his own personal power and…

IDENTITY VS CHOICE Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio Not everyone can be born noble. Every one of us can choose to be noble. Who we are, our identity, is far less important than what we do, our choices. This simple idea is at the heart of every hope for human freedom. Not one of…

ENTITLEMENT OR GRATITUDE Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio We don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. Freedom is like that. It’s like air. When you have it, you don’t notice it. Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin Americans are blessed beyond measure! Whatever other virtues and challenges we are born into, we inherit…

RECLAIMING OUR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio The condemnation of benefactors, the censure of our own defenders thus began; there was a sermon preached against the very necessity of carrying the global burden of suppressing evil; demonstrations were given to show that this burden was imaginary, that there was no evil,…
LOST CAUSES & THIRD PARTIES Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio Through my mother, I am Irish enough to appreciate a glorious lost cause. My patron saint, St. Jude Thaddeus, is the patron saint of lost causes. Through my father, I am Spanish enough to uncritically love Miguel Cervantes’ flawed Don Quixote de la Mancha, because in…

FIFA Visitors and the American Dream Politics & Common Sense — Column by John Spencer This summer, as the world gathers in the United States for FIFA soccer matches, millions of international visitors are experiencing America firsthand.

DEFEATING THE BETRAYERS OF HOPE Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio I hope for a colorblind meritocracy. I genuinely believe in Martin Luther King’s “Dream”. The best hope of our American Republic is to foster and maintain a society where destiny is shaped more by our choices than by our genes. The only way that we get…

NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE! Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio Just remember that, no matter where you go, there you are! The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension What was once often said of Bill Clinton was never true: Clinton’s diehard supporters vehemently argued that his peccadilloes had nothing to do…

DEMOCRAT ADDICTION TO ELECTION FRAUD Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio Shameless election fraud on a scale not seen since the days of Huey Long (DLA) and Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley (D-IL) now characterize “elections” in the city of Los Angeles, California, and far beyond. The scope and degree of utter brazenness of their theft of…

PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL Keep Right — Column by Ralph K. Ginorio Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18, Revised Standard Version Pride has long been considered one of the Seven Deadly Sins. In this sense, it is hubris; the kind of overweening and delusionary self-satisfaction that invites…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @thekootenaijournal. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 2 October 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
