The barely animated lard-filled orange foreskin must still be hurting from Jared convincing Trump to go to war on behalf of Netanyahu. It looks having to go on an embarrassing (Trump, so a high bar) tail-between-legs trip to Chy-Na, means Eric gets to cosplay as a government official this time.

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.

Good Afternoon Montgomery! We’re here in the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement to organize and mobilize on this day of action. Because, we may be knocked down, but we are not knocked out. And, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK! #BlackVotersMatter #ProtectVotingRights #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Marching in Alabama… same bridge, same fight, different century… (H/T @memphisforall )

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

TODAY: ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SOUTH. Republican lawmakers across the South are carving up maps to dilute Black voting power and protect their own power because fair maps would threaten their grip. They knew the voters didn’t support this, so they went around them. 1/2

Happening now: Members of Congress from across the country are gathered in Montgomery's Legacy Park to send a clear message to the nation that the rollback of voting rights will not happen quietly, unchallenged, or without organized resistance. #AllRoadsSouth

Southern states are proving exactly why the voting rights act was passed in the first place.

“What is happening now is that all the legislatures in the old Confederacy states are going backwards. They’re the ones jumping backwards, not to do justice but once again reimpose injustice in the voting of Americans and all Alabamans.” @dougjones.bsky.social #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

The five questions to test your democracy. 👇

Zelenskyy: Russia simplified access to citizenship for people originating from Transnistria region of Moldova. It is a very telling move. It means not only Russia is looking for new soldiers in this way – citizenship also entails military obligation – it is also a claim to Transnistria’s territory.

Ah, very clever! We've boycotted the Eurovision by proxy this year. 👏

Another Russian milblogger complains that a few weeks ago you could drive along the M-14 and everything was fine. But now when he drives along the M-14 (and took this video), he sees Ukrainian drones destroying trucks and vehicles along its length, cutting the supply lines.

Air alert currently active over occupied Crimea and Kerch Bridge which connects the peninsula to Russia. Ukrainian attack incoming.

“The thing is that when [the land corridor highway] was being built, the contractor didn’t steal anything at all”

Kerch Bridge, you say?

When the Kerch Bridge falls, Russians in Crimea are trapped.

Azov strikes near Mariupol put Russia's entire land corridor to Crimea within range of Ukraine's 100-200km drones. This makes the Kerch bridge strategically critical again for Russian logistics, "Taras Hryhorovych informs" reports.

The supply lines do not necessarily have to be completely choked off. Just to the point where replacements cannot keep up with destruction. And oil supplies cannot keep up with usage.

Once the Russian supply lines are degraded to the point where Russian replacements are not keeping pace with destruction, the siege clock begins ticking. Every day means fewer and weaker military forces on Crimea.

This leaves Crimea with only 2 supply arteries. The coastal rail and road lines that are now under Ukrainian fire control. And the Kerch Bridge, which Russian military had determined was not safe enough to send heavy military loads over, just lighter civilian traffic, due to last Ukrainian attack.

In the beginning of April was when Ukraine also destroyed the last remaining ferries servicing Crimea from the Russian mainland.

Back in the beginning of April, Ukraine destroyed 23 out of 29 oil storage tanks on Crimea. This removed the ability of the Russian military forces on Crimea to withstand a siege for very long. When Ukraine decides to completely cut off the supply lines, Russian forces have a limited supply of oil.

"That's the dynamic we're looking at today, where Ukraine is taking advantage of Crimea's geography to very effectively put the entire peninsula under siege by attacking the limited roads that go into the peninsula." The coastal rail and road supply lines.

"Crimea is quickly becoming once again one of the most interesting theaters of the entire war in Ukraine." www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6mx...

For the first time we see a patrol boat, Russian Project 21980 Grachonok, equipped with anti drone structures. Interestingly, less than two weeks ago, Ukrainian naval forces attacked one of the Grachonok-class boats with naval kamikaze drones in the Kerch strait, resulting in the death of the crew

At the end of April, Ukraine also struck and removed the Russian patrol boats guarding the Kerch Bridge.

💥 Russia: Ukraine struck Taman right next to the Kerch Bridge and also Yoroslavl, 240km northeast of Moscow. In Taman, oil tanks at the port were struck.

Meanwhile, the Kerch Bridge has been closed for over 10 hours, and the queue of cars in front of it is growing

👀 Meanwhile, Kerch Bridge has been closed for ~13 hours and the queue of cars in front of it is growing.

Has anyone in the press picked up what happened in 2019. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reported, Farage and Johnson colluding with US based Bannon to topple May. According to Ben Habib, Thailand based Harborne paying Johnson and Farage to stitch up 2019 elections bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

Nigel Farage: Christopher Harborne paid me £5 million for making Brexit happen. He and Reform UK have already said Brexit is making Britain poorer. So by his own admission: Farage is literally feeding off British poverty. FUCKING TRAITOR!

Farage on his £5 million “gift” from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne: 14 May 2026: “Frankly, it was given as a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years.” 9 May 2026: “There was nothing political in its nature at all.”

Despite claiming to give his paymasters “nothing in return” for their money, the truth is that Farage has been assiduous in serving their interests. Last year, as Christopher Harborne was handing millions of pounds to Reform UK, Farage was taking to the airwaves to openly promote his company

BREAKING: Nigel Farage is facing a formal investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog over a £5m gift from the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, which he did not declare.

Nigel Farage is claiming the £5m 'gift' from Christopher Harborne was a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years. He's on the ropes, the story is changing every day.

Who said Russia wasnt the source of the £5m, for job well done? Thats the thing about dodgy crypto routed payments to politicians - there’s no genuine proof where the money *actually* came from.

From a Russian point of view, it was cheaper using combat power.

Christopher Harborne's #Reform donations totalling £22,190,000. 👇 Plus Farage's extra £5,000,000 'GIFT. Plus Farage's #Brexit £1,000,000 bung. Plus Johnsons £1,000,000 Brexit BUNG. But Harborne doesn't want anything in return! 🤥 #Farage #Johnson #Harborne #UK #Corruption

Harborne gave the Brexit Party £6 million in 2019 and was mentioned in the Panama Papers but luckily the UK has the memory of a goldfish... so nobody talks about that

And what point should HMRC look at this ??

Oh, right, Posh George, the baby-faced felon. Even the stuff Farage admits to has a shady side. searchlightmagazine.com/2026/04/the-...

Yes, it's really vital article and a lot of detail is lost in the depth of it. Harborne has been in with Farage since 2019 2019 April: Harborne gave Brexit Party £200K May: got 32% of EU election vote, ending PM May July: Harborne gave £1m August: 2x £1m donations Then £6.5m before GE2019 + bungs?

A long read but worth the time. Check the date of his meeting with Harborne and Cottrell. This is about Farage and the complex tale of his political advance, courtesy of his crypto pals. Shocking, and should be headline news, everywhere. 🙏 read and share www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Farage might not have been an MP but he was a person with significant control of a political party - majority shareholder of Reform UK Party Ltd

So it seems as though Cottrell paid for Farage’s “security provision” on this trip AFTER Harborne gave him £5mn to cover his security for life. “This money was given to me so that I would be safe and secure for the rest of my life" -- Farage
