Today they'd file a lawsuit. Oh no, wait, that's the US. The US would file a lawsuit. Well, no, the current POTUS would file a lawsuit.
Anyway, good read.

This is what America is either fighting or backing. A woman uttering these words, but of course, she backs the party that forces 12 year olds to have babies. The party that labels girls who have been abused as "young women," and the men who commit the crime are "boys being boys". WTAFF?

Remember when we were waiting for the shoe to drop with the release of the Mueller report, and no shoe dropped? That's why I'm not getting too amped up about the Epstein files.
He has easily eighteen impeachable offenses we could levy on him, and we're waiting politely for this shit. Pathetic.

Spoiler alert: The Kremlin opted to use the money - money that would have been spent on nuking the moon - to not nuke Mars or Venus either. Interesting read, by the way.
1961: Caught up in the good tidings aroused by Gagarin's successful space flight, Moscow decides detonating a nuclear warhead on the surface of the moon might not make for good publicity. This Top Secret document shows where the reclaimed funding will be redirected.
1961: Communist Party Drops Plans to Nuke Moon, Expands Defensive Space Opportunities
Until 13 May 1961, the Soviet Union had officially (albeit secretly) been working on a project to built a spacecraft armed with a nuclear weapon which would be sent to be detonated on the surface o…

This is some pretty fucking important reporting. Grab other sources as well, learn what's happening, learn its impact, and contact your elected officials to tell them to rip it out of the package. I don't use the products, but I recognize their value. And I give a shit about my fellow humans.

1/3 The Soviets had the same intention, but abandoned those plans in an official May 1961 Top Secret edict, ordering a halt to all efforts to create "Object Ye" with a special charge (nuclear weapon) and the means to record the blast on the lunar surface.
This is a wild one. Carl Sagan once revealed a shocking top-secret plan to nuke the moon as a show of force during the Cold War. The sheer hubris is stunning. A fascinating piece of space and geopolitical history. https://nautil.us/carl-sagan-shared-a-shocking-space-secret-1247145/

@kaine.senate.gov Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this?

Let's cast some stones at not only the Senate fucktuplets, but also the rest of the Senate on the left who were either unwilling or unable to talk these assholes out of that vote. Let them know their days are numbered. Re-election? Bullshit.

Fascinating collection. @coldwarhost.bsky.social @coldwarpod.bsky.social
An opportunity lost: Good will between the US and USSR following the assassination of JFK can be felt in this collection of Top Secret reports and correspondence. Hopes ran high for common ground, and then came LBJ and intensified operations in Vietnam. Cancel the Christmas cards.
