Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

#ICE needs to be forbidden from carrying any firearms, period. They obviously have significant emotional issues that make them a danger to themselves and to those around them. #AbolishICE

Mayor Borys Filatov said the situation in Dnipro is "emergency of national scale" after Russian strikes left approximately 1 million residents without electricity and heating President Zelenskyy called the attacks an attempt to "torment Ukrainians" euromaidanpress.com/2026/01/08/e...

It’s hell today in Dnipro . I don’t know how much information gets to your mainstream media, but it’s tough . Sirens don’t work , and Russia continues attacking the city. - so peopel rely on internet notifications - but since Russia bombed power station again and it’s blackout - people are asked

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

Donald Trump is probably too stupid to figure out that the reason Venezuela has such enormous oil reserves is because that oil is notoriously thick and dirty so oil refineries find it too expensive to process. It's often as viscous as tar and won't go thru pipelines. And it's full of smelly sulfur.

All the worst leaders flee to Moscow if in danger of being pushed out of power. I wonder if Orange Blowhard would be allowed in...

With regards to Venezuela. I am curious if anyone still remembers that the whole thing was set up to supposedly stop drug trafficking. How's that going?

⚡️ Zelenskyy reacted to reports that the United States detained Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. “If dictators can be dealt with like this, the U.S. knows what to do next,” he said.

I would be ecstatic about Maduro's removal from office...if the actual people of Venezuela had done it instead of a greedy despot from another country.

A man who *tried* to steal an election has #kidnapped a man who *did* steal an #election. I’m conflicted, as I want despots removed, but it’s best done by the people and not another #despot.

🇲🇩 Sandu: Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine defends itself and seeks peace, engaging in good faith in a US-brokered peace plan. Russia sabotages peace talks with false claims while bombing civilians, leaving them without power and heat. This is not the behavior of a country that seeks peace.

Back in September of this year the Russians launched a missile into Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers building and attempted to assassinate Ukraine's Prime Minister in her office. Why wasn't Trump "very angry" about this?
