Great protest song‼️
Well, I failed the academy, the cops weren't havin' me
The Army didn't sound that fun
So I found me a paramilitary operation
That was keen to hand me a gun
There's a sign-on bonus of 50 grand
They're in need of you, needin' to feel like a man

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

I just signed an MOU with the Brazilian Governor of Parà, @helderbarbalhoreal.bsky.social, to strengthen cooperation on wildfire prevention and response.
We're identifying areas of risk, enhancing forest monitoring, and sharing research and expertise for emergency response.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

moments ago: pandemonium.
a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random.
leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders.
multiple people detained. no clue how many.

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.
