Summary of day 1196 of the war (A crack in the bridge): 1/ #NAFO #Fellas #Fella

#Ukraine 🇺🇦: a Ukrainian drone managed to score a direct hit and destroy a Russian Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer, deployed somewhere along the front near the town of Pokrovsk (#Donetsk region).

Footage shows the results of UAV operators from the “Chervona Kalyna” brigade: Russian armored vehicles, motorcycles, and personnel destroyed in the Pokrovsk direction. Over the past day, National Guard units eliminated 6 vehicles, 1 armored unit, 2 ammo depots, and 3 electronic warfare systems.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

He served our country in the Navy. He served the city of San Francisco as a supervisor. He served the LGBTQ community by advancing the fight for rights and Pride. He paid with his life. They can remove Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy Ship. But they can never take away his heroism.

Bulgaria's government is pressing ahead with its plan to join the euro currency union, aiming to deepen European integration.

I see Google traffic has been turned off in Crimea. Wonder why...

Thread on psychological warfare 1/n I posit the Ukr destruction of strategic bombers is Russia's psychological moment turning point when ordinary Russians affected by privations & gov suspicions might understand they cannot win their war of aggression. Firstly here's what happened at Kerch bridge

And then some. Besides blowing up planes that could drop nuclear bombs on the US, today he destroyed the supports of a bridge between Crimea & Russia that’s used to transport weapons to Russian forces Trump should be helping Ukraine by signing the massive tariffs Congress has bipartisan support 4

The bombers are old, likely rotated out for that reason—many aren’t even operational. But Ukrainian intelligence likely pinpointed the active ones, given their constant use in strikes on Ukraine. This was a crippling blow to Russia’s invasion effort.

I see Russia has presented its terms for peace. Here's my suggestion for Ukraine's counter proposal. 1. Russia remove all forces from Ukraine including the Crimea. 2. Russia pay $100B per year for ten years as reparations. 3. Russia hand over Putin and other senior commanders to the Hague for trial.

I’ve encountered zero political analysts who believe Donald Trump will leave office peacefully, and 100% of these analysts understand that Trump will need Hegseth and the Pentagon to hold onto power. Every story out of the Pentagon seems to have, as its subtext, WE ARE PREPARING FOR WHAT IS COMING.

Bennie Thompson: Trump’s birthday parade is a $62M joke, $46M for the show, $16M in street damage. Meanwhile, he’s profiting off Bitcoin, sneakers, MAGA merch, and even asking Qatar for a $400M jet. This isn’t patriotism, it’s profiteering.

The channel, called Future of Russia, will be broadcast via a free-to-air satellite platform run by the press freedom advocacy group Reporters Without Borders.

this is, famously, how you get the internet to forget

The great irony is Euros are agreeing to these spending targets to appease Trump and keep America in. But by agreeing in principle to radically increase def spending (even though it’s all fake) it allows the US to walk away.

Another very useful example of Russia-MAGA alignment. All of the ludicrous claims here are very telling: the idea that Ukraine couldn't be responsible for anything like this, the desire to destroy NATO, and the claim to still believe that Trump has a peace plan.

Remember during the lame duck when Elon Musk got all mad at how much the continuing resolution spent and then they didn't really change it except for the part that would have hurt his investments in China, and then he thought it was fine?

Since Elon Musk shut down USAID, 55,000 adults have died of aides, 6000 children died. Thats 61,000 people- in the first 5 months and thats just PEPFAR. You add them all up, Musk & Trump are responsible for the deaths of 300,000 people. ( hT David Brooks, Boston U.). youtu.be/suua4hYfLTY

I was suspended from Bluesky yesterday for 24 hours. I said "I'd settle for a cof*in" on one of my posts and it was flagged for being in violation of Bluesky's community standards. I'm assuming someone reported my post. Apparently snowflakes abound even here on Bluesky, lol.
