More true now than when I first wrote these words…

Do you have any idea how this looks to the "outside world"? US detainees escape because they can push down an OUTSIDE WALL of a NEWLY RENOVATED prison run by a for-profit non-governmental third party? Third WORLD.

🚨🧵 Iran is reportedly suspending all weapons supplies to Russia. Although Iranian Shahed drone components are now largely manufactured domestically in Russia, powerplants were still being imported from Iran in significant numbers: Mado MD-550 piston engines & Tolue micro-jet.

Fully absurd that Trump would actually think that Iran would come to nuclear negotiations on Sunday. Or ever.. Plus, you think Putin's going to give Witkoff the time of day after this? The guy who provided the diplomatic cover which resulted in Putin being cut off from Iranian parts and weapons?

Tim Walz this morning at Center for American Progress: “We will get through this. We have to get through this. But we’re kidding ourselves, whistling past the graveyard, if we don’t think this is going to get worse before it gets better.”

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

There is NO DOUBT that Russia will interfere in Moldova's elections - and IT MUST BE STOPPED. Moldova is next in line after Ukraine. Much smaller, same game plan. Transnistria is a Trojan horse.

In the US judicial system, it takes judges three months just to put their robes on. Anyone counting on US courts to save democracy is going to be sadly disappointed because if there's one thing Trump knows how to do successfully, it's gaming the US judicial system.

Enabled by your government.

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

Gotta be salty and mention the fact that US and UK are ready to use their aviation to protect Israel from ~100 iranian drones, but Ukrainians have to shoot down HUNDREDS of them EVERY NIGHT with literal machine guns because dear allies won't even sell us sufficient air defence.🙃

Wasn't sure if this person is on this platform, but the news is worth delivering telex.hu/direkt36/202...

JD Vance grovels before Murdoch père et fils in bid for their blessing in his bid to be the new shadow president. Reported heavily in British, but not US, media www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Russia is a criminal nation and should not exist in its current state. This madman Putin needs to be neutralized.

Can some smart person please explain to me why Ukraine hasn't hit the bridges over Don and Volga?

You can help add the force of your day job to the defence of Ukraine. 2-5% of stacking shelves, or managing spreadsheets, weekly is building the big 'fuck you' to putin. Every week, another punch, from western civilians who put their shoulder to Ukraine's defence. u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel

Today, PLEASE be vigilant about false flag activities of the far right who have already been at anti-ICE demos in LA, as reported by @wsj.com. Be very, very careful about any agitators to violence. PHOTOGRAPH perpetrators of violent criminal activity. They're not you! www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

These are the same people being recruited as ICE agents... www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

If you think the US Supreme Court gives a fuck about ordinary AMERICAN CITIZENS, you haven't been paying attention. They only care about their next millionaire-paid boondoggle vacation. Where is it this year, Thomas??
