I've been watching this story unfold for a couple of days. What IS this? The Russian translation of Alnur Mussayev's Facebook post from February 20, 2025 is still up. I found the link (see thread) on a Reddit post this morning. #Krasnov "In 1987, I served in the 6th Directorate of the USSR KGB...."

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Trump is going to come after California. He hates us because we're not stupid enough to vote for him. He can't dismantle us because it would dismantle the GDP of the US.

Yeah it was good. Dinner last night. Sort of fusion. Mainly Mediterranean influence. The sweet spicy smoky salmon glaze had an Asian spin. Salmon had zaatar and things on it. Pomegranate, chopped pistachio, parsley, garlic, etc… gremolata on top. Served over couscous #food #foodie #cooking #yum

When I'm not picking out poisonous plants for the White House, I'm whipping up something tasty for dinner. Let's eat. #HomeCooking 🍽️🍜👩‍🍳 Tonight it's Wild Mountain Trout with Sautéed Spinach & Veggies served over Fregola Sarda.

Hymenocalis 'Zwanenburg' is a pretty little poisonous thing, don't you think? I'm going to collect a big bouquet of these and ditch them on the White House dinner table. #PoisonousPlants #WhiteHouseGarden

The last time I was in Northern California I spent two weeks trying every chile relleno I could get my hands on. The two best: located in Moss Landing and Davis. I still dream of them 🤩

bsky.app/profile/did:... Here are the latest Canadian Resisters! 🇨🇦

It was called Gulf of Mexico for a reason. Mexico En 1794. #HistoryMatters

In memorium to a job, culture, hopes, and dreams; Conservation, education, protection. 1000 NPS employees were fired yesterday without cause. #BlueSkyArtShow #monochrome

🚨JOB BOARDS & LINKS TO HELP THOSE TERMINATED AT THE DOE & OTHER AGENCIES THIS WEEK! 🚨 1,000+ people were terminated from the Department of Energy this week. Other energy, sustainability, environmental positions have been terminated en masse as well. Below is a non-exhaustive link list for jobs!

Perhaps I need to remind it. As a Ukrainian, I will stand till the end. You may support us, You may not. But we are on the right side of history, and people should fight for what is right. Night-night from Kyiv.

Stand up and do something! Join one of these protests!! #resist #fightback #protest

Musk says it illegal to post the names of the boys he’s got accessing sensitive Federal data. Hmmmmm

This is the LOGO for TRAITOR.

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

I didn’t want to be the bad guys: Macron holding emergency meeting on Monday in Paris to rally European leaders. Russia is staging 150,000 more troops in Belarus. Is Putin going to invade a NATO country? American “leaders” disgracing us in Europe. trump is trying to break Europe for Putin.

Man that sweet spot between properly caffeinated and literally vibrating with impending catastrophe seems like it gets a little smaller every day

You see what I have to put up with? He wants a concrete pad instead of grass in the rose garden so The People's House is more like Mar-a-lago. JFC

Republicans held a Senate hearing about the US annexation of Greenland The hearing invited Texas Mineral Resources who explained how Greenland has natural resources which can be used in Tesla/US car batteries. Any fools in #Canada still think #Trump just wants us to "fix the border?" #cdnpoli

Nice piece from @mimirocah1.bsky.social looking to buck up her former colleagues in SDNY. Bondi is bad news. She is firing off accusations of improper behavior without a single example, insulting and demoralizing the professionals she now is supposed to be leading. cafe.com/notes-from-c...

Today in Black History: On Feb. 12, 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed by a group of black leaders, including W. E. B. DuBois and Ida B. Wells. A brutal race massacre in Springfield, IL, in Aug. 1908, led to the formation of the group. #BlackHistoryMonth

Another candidate for the new White House Garden: Dendrocnide moroides (Stinging Tree) can lead to death in dogs & horses. One touch will induce months of intense burning pain. How sweet: it has heart-shaped leaves too. Food plant for the larval stages of the White Nymph Butterfly. #poisonousplants

I once heard, can’t remember the source, that the “National Dish” of any country is no more than 150 years old. In ‘National Dish’ Anya Von Bremzen explores this idea for France, Italy, Japan, Mexico and Turkey in a well written Foodie tour de force. A very enjoyable read, but then I am a Foodie.😆
