The reasons they stopped caring about how unpopular their actions are, is they dont intend to hold free and fair elections and are never voluntarilly leaving power again. We have seen this playbook before...

Please check every outlet here that you give money to, see if they're still active on X, if you can, and if they are then demand that they leave and cancel your subscription if they don't. Three years ago was the time to leave, if the @theguardian.com and many others can leave, so can they.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the lonely drum that the fact that we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations, poses a massive threat to national security & world order, & should immediately end this presidency.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

On topic, from now on this is gonna be my go-to response to all the "war fatigued" isolationists.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Filmed outside a police station in Teheran. Arrested protestors are lined up against a wall. You don't see, but you hear: "Death to Khamenei!" ...gunshot "Down with the regime!" ...gunshot "Death to Khamenei!" ...gunshot "Death to the Dictator!" ...gunshot their last words...

REMINDER: The Trump administration was required by law to release all the Epstein files by Dec 19 and still has not released 99% of the files

Uh, chat, this is pretty bad tbqh

The Morning After in Venezuela: Perspectives on what comes next from Venezuelans PWS sat down for extended conversations with three close contacts from very different parts of Venezuelan society to ask them their thoughts LATEST for PWS www.piratewireservices.com/p/the-mornin...

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout is now past the 60 hour mark as national connectivity levels continue to flatline around 1% of ordinary levels. The censorship measure presents a direct threat to the safety and wellbeing of Iranians at a key moment for the country's future

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person to be murdered by ICE under Trump. Keith Porter was a Black man killed by ICE on New Years Eve. Silverio Gonzalez was an undocumented immigrant killed in Franklin Park. Marimar Martinez was shot 5 times in Chicago & survived. No one is safe.

The U.S. is in the process of seizing the Olina tanker in the Caribbean near Trinidad in the fifth such interdiction of ships in recent weeks as part of Washington's efforts to control Venezuelan oil exports, - Reuters

Russia is a terrorist state.

End ICE for Good.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

Unconfirmed, but looks like the U.S. got the Russian tanker

US attacks Venezuelan capital, captures Maduro An unknown number of civilian casualties as explosions rock Caracas LATEST by me for PWS

Can every journalist covering this please write this on a post-it and stick it on their desk? Pretty please with sugar on top?

Trump: "We are going to run the country until such time that we can have a safe proper and judicious transition" He seems to think that the VP Delcy Rodriguez is not taking control as would be expected. I heard that Padrino was killed in an airstrike on his living quarters but have not seen proof

lil marco rubio and handsy hangover hegseth stand on either side of a very low energy dull trump as he attempts to string together a string of words that resemble a sentence.

🇻🇪👀 Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima.

A successful CIA hack of Venezuela's military payroll system, insider fights for spy agency resources, and messy opposition politics: A WIRED investigation revealed a secret Trump-era attempt to oust autocratic ruler Nicolás Maduro. www.wired.com/story/trump-...

This is entirely unspurprising as the Maduro regime is notorious for stealing funds intended for training or maintenance. The reason their military has never removed him is there was lots of stolen money being spread around.

Something seriously wrong with people trying to deny fact Maduro was a ruthless dictator, as though acknowledging that helps Trump. You can't fight the MAGA cult by becoming a cult yourselves. Facts, truth matter, and so does international law. That's the crisis here. Trump is lawless, like Putin.

the failure of the VDV to do this in the early days of the UKR-RUS war

Maduro has been removed from power in Venezuela.

This is less a "SOF" or "SOCOM" thing as it is a very particular organization at Fort Bragg has decreed itself the ultimate expert on all forms of warfare based on their experience blowing up goat herders with Hellfires, and the dipshits running the Pentagon now believe them

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Considering how quiet things have gotten this last little bit, I want to take the time to make a few points. - 1st round seems to be over, at least for the Caracas area. - Given how many airbases and military targets there are, this is frankly somewhat of a light 1st round. 1/

Dual rotors of the ch47 are distinct.

This is potentially significant. POV10.42651, -66.88582 ID'd by Twitter acct @john_marquee has smoke in the direction of a base that include a number of military academies as well as the General Command of the Army, Strategic Operational Command, and the Ministry of the People's Power for Defense.

Explosions heard in Caracas Venezuela tonight.

This was what I thought would happen, now we will see Putin back away from the deal as Troops from an EU country would make it too risky to reattack Ukrain which is obviously what he wants to do.

(NUMEC) Nuclear Materials and Equipment Company of Apollo, Pennsylvania had surprisingly high loses of highly enriched uranium (the most ever by a company ) rumor has it they diverted HEU to covert nuclear weapons program run secretly by another nation state.

In Tom Clancy's The Sum of All Fears, Isreal aquires HEU from the CIA who stole it from a US company... I swear he wrote book about the rumors that were whispered in hushed voices througout the 70's & 80's.

Astronomers made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the JWST: A runaway super-massive black hole, rocketing through space at a staggering 1,000 km/s, leaving a 200,000 light-year-long tail in its wake in which gas is accumulating and triggering star formation. 🧪 www.space.com/astronomy/bl...

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

WAKE UP MR. PAPARO WE USED 20% OF OUR ANNUAL TLAM PRODUCTION ON A FARMHOUSE AGAIN

We should fear tyranny not migrants Fears about migration are being fabricated and weaponized to impose authoritarianism around the world (Now w paywall removed) by me for PWS

Russia is a terrorist state.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

Amazing movie, 6/5 stars highly recommend!

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

👀 Unconfirmed info from RU and UA channels: In the Mediterranean Sea, Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked a tanker belonging to Russia's shadow fleet. The ship was carrying officials from GRU, responsible for drone espionage in Europe, sabotage... Seven were injured and two were killed.
