The only choice the blob — obama blob trump blob biden blob trump again — ever gave Ukraine was lose slow or die fast Ukrainians have earned themselves a better choice And if the US would stop with the Kremlin smoke and mirrors for 5 min, they would see the opportunity of Ukrainian victory

I have to finish a presentation for tomorrow but every 5 minutes I burst into Ray Liotta-like uncontrollable laughter and feel the need to run up and down the stairs wooooooooooo-ing

A reminder that good neighbors are like the biggest plus up on quality of living. Thankfully, some of the good neighbor machinery is still at work in the US www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...

Here’s the reported text of what Ukraine will present to Russia in the Istanbul talks tomorrow (since everyone else has it in a paywall)

I mean the fear and paranoia that the Ukrainians are delivering to their aggressors right now is at least 50% of the operational art here Absolutely beautiful

Don’t understand why this story isn’t leading every American outlet and news broadcast. This is unspeakably bad for Russia.

A reminder that Ukraine has conducted many operations without informing the past or present US admin—because it leaks like a sieve about everything but esp about Russia. And the concern then & now is—maybe to Russia Don’t make a big deal. Ukraine needs to survive and it needs its people to survive

Like sure you can let some clowns clog up the Sunday shows lying about the debt and kicking people off Medicaid and whether cyborgs can have cancer — Or you could inform Americans about 👇

Our strategic adversary just lost like 1/8 of its nuclear triad in a single, well-planned secret operation using off-the-shelf drones — and our commander in chief is golfing. Maybe the DNI can make him an explainer vid I guess.

Yet another day to remind: Only fools think the Russians are winning But Ukrainians can, still can, always could — if we committed to a strategy of supporting Ukrainian victory to anchor the revitalization of strategic democratic forces against the rise of authoritarian powers.

June 1, 1996 — Ukraine returned its last nukes to Russia — making Ukraine pretty much the only signer of its piece of the Budapest memorandum to uphold its part of the deal 29 years later, well, today is an interesting day

Hurricane season starts today. Instead of the normal preparation story we share every year, please take a few minutes and read this essay from @michaelrlowry.bsky.social about the very different risks this year. And thanks to @kellyhereid.bsky.social for the gift link. Really. Please read it.

I mean holy sh*t, don’t ever bet against Ukrainians.

Drone operation 1.5 years in planning & execution, operators involved exfil-ed in advance. Billions in damage for Russia, 40+ strategic bombers, possibly hundreds of aircraft damaged, a whole leg of the nuclear triad at risk. With toy drones. This day brought to you by every de-escalation guy

“But what is the American interest in helping Ukraine fight Russia??” the spineless whingers complain Well, Ukraine has an answer for y’all, just in time for budget season 👇

I mean what would you call it now — nuclear stilts? Nuclear ladder?

Ukrainians shot down two A-50s last year, forcing the Russians to stop using them over Ukraine for a year. They also hit the facility that repairs the A-50s. If Ukraine just took out more of them with the strikes on Russian air bases — I mean they only had what like 6, 7 left? Dark day for RU 🎻

Yet another day to remind: Only fools think the Russians are winning But Ukrainians can, still can, always could — if we committed to a strategy of supporting Ukrainian victory to anchor the revitalization of strategic democratic forces against the rise of authoritarian powers.

You know what they say when Russian strategic bombers are on fire?

If even a fraction of this is true, it’s a remarkable achievement & a mark of how far Ukr deep strike has come. ‘An operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has hit ‘more than 40" Russian bombers at air bases “in the rear of the Russian Federation”…’ kyivindependent.com/enemy-bomber...

I always look at these children’s faces — the spirit, the sass, the mirth — and wonder what they could have been

Russia has stolen tens of thousands Ukrainian children, changed their identities, indoctrinated them, and now is training them to kill their own countrymen on the battlefield. There can be no peace, brokered deal, or end that does not mandate the return of every stolen child.

A beautiful & very personal essay in the fantastic @mississippifreepress.org about the exploitation of racial division as a tool of internal control & oppression — of all races — which will continue to weaken our democracy until we see it for what it is www.mississippifreepress.org/democracy-wh...

The one thing we can agree on is the weather is important — of course, weather is a prime target for the chopping block

Swedish government has decided to act against the so-called shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea by expanding the possibility of collecting insurance information moving towards Estonian modus operandi?
