russian drones are now dropping miniature Pryanyk mines on Ukraine. Nearly invisible in grass and containing 30 grams of plastic explosives — they’re enough to blow off a limb🧵 The best way to deal with it is to shoot down the drones carrying them: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

💥 Russia: Massive Ukrainian drone strikes blew up vast areas of the Port of Primorsk, Russia's largest oil export terminal that processes 1.0-1.5 million barrels/day - 100 million tons of oil & oil products per year. 1,000km from Ukraine.

👀❗️ Mobile Internet completely cut off in St. Petersburg It's time for pagers…

RIP Robert Mueller, he was preceded in death by the Rule of Law.

Truly funny

TRUMP IN ONE SINGLE EVENT - "They won't be there for us" - "We have some that are really enthusiastic. They're coming already" - "This isn't 'need'" - "If we need anything, they should be jumping to help us" - "We want them to come & help us w/the strait" - My attitude is we don't need anybody"

🧵 by @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social:

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

1/8 Russian intelligence always finds a way to completely screw up. They recently tried to build an untraceable new hit squad, but got caught because their top operatives literally typed their secret assassination plans into Google Translate

- Baltic Sea has a growing problem with ships not respecting intnl law and we will keep enforcing it, says ops officer Stenling, SE Coast Guard. Day after SE law enforcement boarded CAFFA with guns drawn. Crew, mainly Russian. Several crimes and deficiencies are suspected & ship risks detention.

Please support the petition against the planned #closure of #Archaeology at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Archaeology has been a part of Humboldt-Universität academic tradition for almost 200 years, so closing it would break a long-standing research tradition weact.campact.de/petitions/sc...

The Supreme Court ruling has helped the family of one man in particular: the architect of Trump’s tariffs himself. A firm headed by Lutnick’s sons was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event tariffs were struck down. trib.al/JcwQ9MT

Rubio is a strong anti-Communist. But a good way to understand his conversion from an immigration-friendly, pro free market, ultra-hawkish Neocon to MAGA culture warrior is how communist functionaries accommodated themselves to changes in doctrine. www.foreignaffairs.com/press/2015-0...

1/ Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov recently said (very wrongly) that "It's difficult, if not impossible, to imagine ... frontline communications being provided via Telegram or any other messenger." Warblogger Nikita Tretyakov has a list of other 'unimaginables'. ⬇️

Last year began with high hopes for U.S.-brokered peace negotiations in Ukraine. The reality was a nightmare: civilian casualties didn't drop — they surged, making 2025 the deadliest time in the war for noncombatants since the invasion's first year. meduza.io/en/feature/2...

SpaceX to focus on Moon settlements instead of Mars?!? Wow, it is hard to overstate what a change -- what a climb-down -- this is for Musk. It has always been Mars for him. Full stop. Supposedly the goal behind *everything* he does.

The State Department confirmed to Newsweek on Saturday that its X posts prior to Trump's inauguration last year will be deleted.

A Hong Kong court sentenced former media mogul Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison, giving the pro-democracy advocate the heaviest penalty ever meted out under a Beijing-imposed national security law.

Much like “don’t breastfeed bats,” it’s one of those things you think goes without saying until it gets said, and then you discover just how much people don’t understand the basics of risk mitigation.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US Navy shot down an Iranian drone that approached the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, - Reuters. Shahed-139 drone was flying toward the carrier and was shot down by a US F-35 fighter jet.

A federal judge on Monday dealt a fifth blow to the Trump administration’s attempts to kill the offshore wind farms under construction up and down the east coast. https://cnn.it/46mLwlF

🇩🇪 German federal prosecutors said on Monday they had detained five individuals accused of operating a network that exported goods to Russian defence companies, contravening European Union sanctions imposed following Moscow's invasion of #Ukraine www.reuters.com/business/aer... #Germany #Russia

It would be a good idea to establish elementary rule of law in the US: 1. Prohibit any law enforcement officers appear in masks, armed, without ID or name tags. 2. Demand that supreme court justices comply with elementary conflict of interest rules. /1

I think witnessing Brexit as both insider & outsider had a profound effect on Mark Carney. His resolve in the face of the next stage of the attempted destabilisation of the West might even be described as a ‘Brexit benefit’!

Many MAGA Republicans & European right-radicals believe that, if they dissolve NATO/EU, weaken the Atlantic bond & become friendly towards Russia/China, these will reciprocate. They won't. Moscow & Beijing will use Western disunity to subdue or destroy the United & European States.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

Trump lets another drug trafficker out of prison because his father happens to be a Republican member of Congress.

Thousands marched in Greenland against Trump's takeover threats as he announced tariffs on several European countries.

Looks like it is actually on YouTube, so just for academic purposes and the sake of completeness:

I would also keep her out of the loop, but I wouldn’t have appointed a pro-Russian traitor as DNI. Maybe that’s just me

Horrific scenes from Kharkiv after a Russian strike hit a residential building. Rescue teams are still searching for people trapped under the rubble. Another reminder of Russia’s war crimes against civilians.

REMEMBER Feliz Año Nuevo = Happy New Year Feliz Ano Nuevo = Happy New Butthole

Russia acts like a mentally unstable, insecure, desperate, suicidal, and aggressive toxic ex who would rather kill and die than let their ex continue without them

Footage from Kyiv shows the moment a drone strikes a residential high rise in the Pozniaky district. Another direct and deliberate attack on civilian housing.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

CSIS: “This ship will never sail. It will take years to design, cost $9 billion each to build, and contravene the Navy’s new concept of operations, which envisions distributed firepower. A future administration will cancel the program before the first ship hits the water.”

We continue to stand in solidarity with Denmark and Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Any changes to that status are for Greenlanders and Danes alone to decide. (1/2)

Russian military blogger "Kalashnikov" says that the Russian military "is worn out" and that due to "strategic miscalculations" they've "ended up in this situation" in which there is no chance to occupy any large Ukrainian city because it would turn "into a graveyard" for the Russian military.

7 a.m. in Ukraine. The Russian drone attack that lasted all night has now turned into a morning missile strike.
