This doesn't surprise me given the DNC isn't doing anything useful and doesn't even appear to have a platform.
The DNC has fallen far behind in the cash race.
Big donors have pulled back from giving to the party, and small donors are not growing enough to make up the gap.

I had a glimpse into this along with Monica and it’s terrifying. The misogyny and anti-Semitism is just completely unchecked.
Yes. X is hugely empowering this group through algorithmic amplification & near-total absence of hate speech moderation (even of rape/death threats).
X's woman hater/Jew hater/white supremacist world is now bigger than "our" world there.
It idolises Elon & has begun openly advocating fascism.

Jailing lawyers is something only authoritarians do.
Turkey is no longer a hybrid regime. It is a fully authoritarian state racing in the direction of Egypt, Tunisia & Russia.
Last week, Erdogan locked up his top presidential opponent. Today he jailed his lawyer, too.
When opponents' lawyers are jailed, political rights are gone. 🧵

“The likelihood of a merchant ship dragging its anchor across the seabed by accident is therefore close to zero. The likelihood of this happening three times in 14 months in the same area is even smaller.”
Was it sabotage or an accident when critical infrastructure was destroyed in the Baltic Sea by ships dragging their anchor across the seabed? I have collected some thoughts in this Q&A style blog post.
Sabotage or accidental anchor dragging in the Baltic Sea?
I have collected some answers to the basic questions raised by the recent discussion about whether the cable cutting in the Baltic Sea has been accidental or sabotage. This discussion was sparked by a...

Here we are again. Issuing “policy” via social media. Official press releases referring to his posts. Incompetent staff that can’t even spell the country in question correctly. It’s Colombia.

I really hate the AI generation tools. I know what I want to say and don't want suggestions. They just distract me from what I'm trying to do.
No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.
Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

Most of our fundraising and update posts for PAV are run by our new account here. This is run by a foreign soldier who served in Ukraine so also a great way to learn more about serving there.
Travel home for injured soldiers is funded by donating to the "Flight Fund" at protectavolunteer.com & donating airline miles and hotel points. Injured volunteers do need hotel accommodation when traveling & if you have points from your own business travel this is a great way to help someone else.

We serve and support the Ukrainian people and victims of the war in Ukraine.

This is a video made by an Aussie combat medic in 1st Squadron. The guy talking in this is Jon Wick, an American Marine vet who leads Vanguard team. He & the Aussie combat medic are both volunteers that we matched with sponsors. They reference Sam Newey, who was a British volunteer killed in 2023.
