Russian forces have reportedly fallen into three simultaneous encirclements. Ukrainian troops cut off retreat routes while drones track reinforcements. Ukraine’s Dnipro command confirms advances, saying Russian logistics near Dobropillia are collapsing and retreating troops are trapped under fire.

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair.
He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize.
Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether?

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Don't be fooled.
