Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to visit—offered a 5-6 hour ceasefire so they could see the encircled troops safely.

Today, Zelenskyy walked in freely.

The way that this administration is targeting and harassing Somalians in Minneapolis is disgusting and vile. Keep filming this because one day we are going to hold these agents accountable. Last I heard peacefully protesting doesn’t warrant being sprayed with chemical irritants.

OTD in 1994 the First Chechen War began. After incompetent initial assault that failed, Russian army turned to barbarism & crimes against humanity. It stopped when we signed a peace deal we would later violate.

None of this should sound familiar to you

Ukraine has halted a Russian oil platform in the Caspian Sea. SBU used long-range drones to strike Lukoil’s Filanovsky platform, causing at least 4 hits. The attack shut down oil and gas extraction from over 20 wells. “Any facility aiding Russia’s war is a legitimate target,” one SBU source said.

The U.S. has proposed reintegrating Russia into the global economy, per WSJ. Plans include U.S. investment in Russian rare earths, restoring Russian energy flows to Europe, and using $200B in frozen assets for Ukraine’s recovery. This has sparked sharp tensions with European allies.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Enforcement of current laws and regulations is first.
Sweeping reform of some sort would be the only way to fix this. We have congress to legislate but they are generally driven by lawyers, and the judicial who are lawyers. That will be a very hard walk back.

Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

This is a ploy to get around the Flores settlement, which requires that children be removed from immigration detention after 20 days. Building a school in the detention center makes it look like it's a licensed facility for child care but it's not.
