Ukrainian President Zelenskyy just released the following statement: The "office" of our operation on the territory of the Russian Federation was located directly next to the FSB department of Russia in one of their regions." Adding insult to injury.

This doesn't get much attention but Liz Truss, former British PM, has endorsed Le Pen in France and AfD in Germany. I know she is bonkers but sadly she isn't the only one. There are dark forces operating underground in the UK. Actually quite something coming from a former British PM. 🇬🇧

L’Ukraine mène une vaste attaque de drones contre l’aviation russe jusqu’en Sibérie

In which Stock, as others have, suggests the only way to "genuinely support" the LGBTQIA+ community is by making sure trans and non-binary individuals don't get a voice. A reminder that there were trans and non-binary individuals at Stonewall. You don't protect one group by saying we don't exist.

This petition is asking women to stand in solidarity with trans people. Already it’s grown to 19,573 signatures. Please sign & share. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.

The anguish of gay Americans who were called “sexual psychopaths” in Congress and fired from their jobs fueled the first public demonstrations for gay rights in the nation. The fight for dignity continued through the AIDS epidemic and the battle for marriage equality.

At least 31 people were killed and more than 150 injured today when civilians traveling to an aid distribution center in Gaza were fired upon, according to media reports citing local health authorities and witnesses.

I celebrate the destruction of Russian long range bombers today just as I did when NATO took out the Serb Artillery around Sarajevo thirty years ago. Disarming those who attack civilians is always in the cause of peace

I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I'll be opening my Etsy at 8pm for 1/2 calendars (July-Dec) of my tiny posy & botanical photos.

Socialists spent the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s arguing against council house sales, privatisation, PFI, austerity and Brexit would damage Britain. Socialists were right on every point.

Solar energy in the Netherlands is so efficient the network can’t cope & electricity will be free from 12-5pm at weekends from tomorrow until 30 Sept. Reform Ltd are liars.

If you think it’s somehow antisemitic to be against starving and burning alive and blowing up children I don’t want to imagine what kind of twisted nightmare you must think Judaism is.

Pretty dramatic day in Russia: Ukrainian drones have reportedly attacked four Russia air bases, destroying a significant number of strategic bombers and radar planes. (Tu-95s, Tu-22, A-50) Russian milbloggers are furious. One calls it a "black day," another says they need to nuke Kyiv.

Day 1193 of my 3 day war. Several billion dollars worth of Russian aircraft were destroyed by several thousand dollars of Ukrainian drones. I remain a master strategist.

Okay, there's an election on, but there's never a wrong time for "Russian planes go boom"

Starting to look like a major Ukrainian offensive. Now explosions have been reported in Severomorsk, where the Russian Northern Fleet, including subs with nukes, is based. #explodey

En direct, guerre à Gaza : des tirs israéliens à proximité d’un centre d’aide alimentaire font au moins 31 morts à l’ouest de Rafah, selon la défense civile

The Ukrainian army and intelligence have already become an elite force in next-generation warfare.

1 June 1962 | After midnight Adolf Eichmann, whose task was to manage the logistics involved in the mass deportations of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in German-occupied Europe, was executed in Israel. See the Yad Vashem exhibition about his trial www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibi...

I had not seen this WSJ article from earlier this week. The 1st Amendment violation admitted in the last paragraph of this passage would be too obvious to use on a law school exam. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Insane. Footage shows Ukrainian drones at work deep inside Russian territory, obliterating Russian strategic aviation.

There have been reports that up to 40 Russian military aircraft may have been hit in the attack carried out in the special operation by Security Service of Ukraine. A-50, Tu-95,Tu-22 aircraft are reportedly among those hit, causing Russia over $2 billion damage Glory!!!

“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide & the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg shares moments from the Madleen.

Truss believes a government that banned pride marches and LGBT materials and in effect expelled a university is an epitome of freedom

Well, she'll find a ready audience for stuff about "globalists" at a conference sponsored by a party which put posters of George Soros on the floors of trams so people could walk on them.

Cómo funciona el mecanismo “no humanitario” de Israel para distribuir ayuda en Gaza Israel ha puesto en marcha un sistema supervisado por sus tropas y una empresa de seguridad estadounidense

Your regular reminder that the USA is no longer a democracy. Stop talking about a 'slide towards authoritarianism'. It's here. It's been here for months now.

peter theils palantir becoming the worlds most powerful military system and data harvester is going to usher in a new, worse age of humanity. i hate to say it but this is complete libertarian cultural victory

It's still early in the year, but I *do* have "Robert Kennedy Jr Wins a Darwin Award" on my BINGO card.

Anti-trans political rhetoric and policies is spreading, and that includes Labour. It doesn't protect anyone. It embeds bigoted and misogynistic ideas, and causes division and hostility. The only people anti-trans ideology benefits in the end is the far right. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
