Our democracy hangs in the balance and some dumbass D.C. consultants parachuted in some guy they didn't background check and made things even more tenuous

In America, we have the regular police. Then we have the secret police, who wear masks, drive unmarked cars, stalking their unawares targets, all people of color, through their neighborhoods. The targets are periodically seized at random, and disappeared to some faraway facility, where many die.

@francescahongwi.bsky.social Francesca Hong a candidate for Wisconsin governor went on the stream of Twitter troll MikefromPA a guy who said Jews are a demonic ethnicity. I'll post the video of MikefromPA's statements on jews below

What, and I mean this with all seriousness, the fuck.

I find the Hormuz situation so confusing. A huge share of the world’s oil supply vanished (maybe? it’s unclear how much is getting out?) and there hasn’t been much domestic effect other than high gas prices? Maybe the strait is partially open, except ships are getting bombed? No one seems to care?

basically my take on Biden era efforts in rural America:

I bet Milli Vanilli sounds incredible when an Italian person says it

Oopsie, if that goes further like this, then Mordor has an issue with the budget. I think the yearly budget deficit is not only 75bn (as up to date) but it will be rather 150bn - maybe even more as the economy might go into a free fall when the gasoline and diesel shortage goes on for longer.

The capybara forgot his glasses at home, is too lazy to go back and potentially will take the wrong bus.

Greetings and good morning it’s the Sunday farm rush hour & goat escape with Kate. Happy birthday Sandra

oh come on, the Oct 8 rallies weren't in mourning for Gaza, they were in celebration of Oct 7.

The refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Krasnodar region, in Russia is burning and has been turned into another oil volcano.

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

CyberBoroshno analysis finds Putin’s residence in Valdai has been demolished. Analysts said the logic remains unclear, but suggested fear of a drone strike on the site as a possible motive. A section of the M-11 highway near the residence was also closed today. #Russia

Updated map of the regions of Russia where there are shortages of gasoline or diesel. As always it's worse in the occupied territories. Added 7 regions. Oryol, Buryatia, Bryansk, Novgorod, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and Yamal.

Discount on Russian crude oil in Chinese oil imports back to 12%, i.e. where it was before Trump attacked Iran. Let's see what happens now that the overall oil prices are back to pre-war level.

#Russia inflation picking up, as gasoline prices shoot up. Consumer prices have risen 4.6% since the end of 2025. Vodka +12.6% Sugar +11.0% Gasoline +9.9% Beef +9.1% Color TV -1.7%

💥 INVESTIGATION: After 4 years of Russia's full-scale war, firms effectively controlled by Russian or Belarusian interests still operate across Europe. Russian millionaire Vasily Smetanin, tied to Sberbank, does business via Polish firms. VSquare.org

Russian Ural oil discounts on the Indian market compared to Dated Brent have risen to the highest since March where as Russian Ural oil price before transportation at the Baltic ports and Novorossiysk have fallen to 55,71 and 56,46 USD per barrel.

IMHO, CA's left being so trash compared to NYC is due to SF leftists defending turf when YIMBYism started gaining traction up there coupled with a guy in LA stealing money meant for people with AIDS and funneling it to anyone willing to say that single family zoning was revolutionary praxis.

Fig 1. Oil exports are rising Fig 2. Currency revenue has collapsed Fig 3. Russian oil is starting to get stuck at sea again (the US did not extend the exemption so problems with sales have begun) Fig 4. Port shipment table. Novorossiysk, bitch, is working. We need to bomb it. -Yevgeny Istrebin

I want to repeat something about Russian road logistics companies. They operate at a 3% margin doubling the price of diesel is an extinction level event for them. Have that in mind as the crisis starts to unfold and high diesel prices are here to stay.

‼️ The Moscow Stock Exchange continues to crash out! The Moscow Index fell 4.1% today alone.

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

One of the biggest bigots in the Utah GOP, Trevor Lee, is getting shellacked in his primary.

Tea Break🫖

Just dropped off my ballot here in Utah at a drive through ballot box at the library. Also two trucks pulled up behind me and one guy was wearing an American flag baseball cap. Im feeling very American this morning

This is the only thing anyone should ever say about Elon Musk. He deserves to be talked about in the same category as Mao and Stalin as one of history's worst mass murderers.

Green Reflecting Pool

scully: trump claims a vandal used a knife to cut a 250-foot tear in the reflecting pool lining, but security footage doesn't show anyone doing this mulder: *throws her a file* ever heard of the antifa knife alien

hadn't realized this - trump's waiver is the first time since the revolution that it's been legal to import iranian oil into the USA x.com/JavierBlas/s...

Very telling to me that these people always see the (very real!) conflict between feminism and heterosexuality as one that can only be fixed by abandoning feminism, and not by changing heterosexuality.

Have to post this classic anytime there's news out of the UK

I must have watched this video a hundred times in the summer/fall of 2008. Is it cringe? Not only does the question not matter, I don’t even understand it. It helped get people hopeful and inspired in a way little else has even aspired to in the last two decades.

Fun how we’re seemingly on this path where every developed country: blames immigrants for every problem, elect far right insane person, stops immigration, tanks economy, blames immigrants, repeat

For my latest video, I found this absolute masterpiece of a Clinton smear ad from 1995. Is this YOUR vision for a better America???

Russia's oil output is at lowest level in a year amid Ukrainian drone strikes • Data highlight how Moscow is struggling to make the most of Iran war-fuelled rise in oil prices • Oil revenues were 30% lower in April 2025 than they were in same period one year earlier www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Wow! No fuel in Crimea anymore - this is pretty significant, because it can cause hoarding in other regions, worsening the shortages. A ban on gasoline sales on this scale has never happened before in Russia (NB: Crimea is Ukraine).

Here's a bright idea from a member of the Russian Duma's LDPR faction. Ban VPNs because that's how the news about the shortage is spreading and not because there's an actual physical shortage of gasoline.

In 2018, Joe Manchin, a centrist who hates the national debt and welfare, was the last Democrat to win statewide election In 2020, Democrats did what Boots Riley wanted and nominated a socialist for the senate seat. She lost by 43 points.

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

I'm very ignorant of middle eastern geopolitics. I've heard that Iran has a ton of influence and control over Iraq. Now that Iran will be supercharged after this war is there a greater chance that Iran can get complete control of Iraq and also erase the influence the U.S. fought for in the Iraq war?

The most surprising thing politically in the last 4 years is that abortion advocates were 100% right about the impact of repealing Roe (a human rights disaster for women, no change in number of abortions), and yet Susan Collins et al are still electorally competitive

PLEASE STOP SAYING “THE WAR ACHIEVED LITTLE” OR “RESET TO THE STATUS QUO.” This is neither. It’s the largest gift Trump has the power give to the Iranians: 1. All sanctions dropped 2. Acknowledged control of Hormuz, with a right to toll 3. $300 billion in aid 4. No new nuclear requirements
