A warning?
Russia hit a US plant, producing sunflower oil.
It happened during the attack on Dnipro - the mayor posted about it⬇️
After similar attacks in Odesa, this seems to be a new concerted effort on any factories producing civilian foodstuffs & more US companies seem to be targeted

Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen is clear: if the US attacks a NATO ally, the post-WWII order is over. NATO only works if borders aren't changed by force. Break that rule-and the alliance breaks with it.

Why is a wealth tax important?
1 person with 10mln will spend maybe 250.000, generating maybe 20.000 in taxes.
Tax its wealth with 4% and you get 400.000 to put into the economy. If well-managed, 10mln makes more than 4%, so the person doesn't lose on their wealth, while the state gets 400k extra.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.
This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

Once again, I implore media outlets to stop saying these are CDC decisions.
These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists.
I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.

When those with power speak casually about taking what is not theirs,
when domination is framed as confidence and threat is called leadership,
it is natural for people to feel a deep rage.
If you feel unsettled, it is not because you are alarmist.
