Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

I've apparently been quoting things the wrong way?

“That day, we realized the Russians had come to kill us” is how one theater survivor put it to me. “They didn’t come to fight with Ukrainian soldiers. They just wanted to kill us.” from James Verini, an excerpt from his book "The Theater" www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

A 9-month-old baby girl had her leg blown off after a Russian drone slammed into a residential building in Zelensky’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih. The infant was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Rescue operations are ongoing.

If I just reply 'ugh' from here forward everyone will understand right?

I have my suspicions...

So what's new?

"Team, huddle! No one tries to offer anyone else's territory to Putin for nothing. Understood? Now go out there and HOLD THE GOD DAMN LINE!"

It is their profession after all, one more impactful than all others, make sure they're fit for it

This is Anna, a student in Tbilisi who was heading to a lecture I gave there on Wed--but didn't make it there because she was arrested in front of the university for taking part in protests against the regime's authoritarian, Russia-aligned policies and political repressions.

it's not different than any other cult: the cult leader looks obviously corrupt and unimpressive - even clownish - from outside the cult, but intense social control means that for people trapped inside the cult's alternate reality and propaganda the leader appears like a god

If someone breaks into my home and starts 👉 raping & killing people 👉 steals the washer, the toilet, and THE KIDS 👉 and REFUSES TO LEAVE I too would find it difficult to come to agreement l LAVROV! www.gazeta.ru/politics/new...

Finally someone explaining this so I get it. And what the benefit of Eurosky would be. @eurosky.social , assume I'm your collective grandmas when you explain what you do and you'll have more users 😅 Most people don't know and don't care about the underlying tech. Focus on the benefit.

Wow. Only Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and Israel rank lower. Not something to be proud of, America!

4/ Another officer fired pepper spray through a car window, hitting a 1-year-old girl in the back seat. A bystander filmed her in tears. DHS called the incident a “hoax.” But, as a local pastor at the scene testified later, “there’s literally video evidence.”

Not entirely sure, but I think I can see (among other things) the effect of solar power 🙂 A whole bunch of households putting out 3-10 kW of excess power during the day.

Jfc...are they _trying_ to prove their irrevelancy as a source of news?

About having better defences against them?🤔

😂😂

‼️ Russia: “Peskov stated that Russia does not need anyone's permission to hold the Victory Parade.” Someone is trying to perform damage control 😂 www.interfax.ru/russia/1088587

I'd say that's an accurate take 😕

Why do we as European countries accept that Ukrainians should live like this? We should have stopped this in 2014. We failed. Then in 2022. We failed. We are not suffering. Ukrainians are. We need to DO MORE! Support Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini.

Frankly the view of this US administration as to the future of international rules is worthless since they don't abide by even their existing bilateral agreements.

The spite! It's inspiring 😅

But for a tad longer than 30 minutes

John Roberts increasingly the Susan Collins of SCOTUS. Always very concerned, swears he and his colleagues aren’t doing what they’re obviously doing, provides a veneer of moderation when all the others are flying insurrection flags over their houses.

Remember when y'all made this thread on Paulina Borsook go viral? Well, that resulted in her getting a deal to re-publish her book in the USA, the UK & Commonwealth, Belgium, France, and Switzerland! Coming Sept. 15—with a foreword by some guy named Gil Duran. Pre-order! www.cyberselfish.com

While groveling to ensure a ceasefire for their death parade, russia is trying to kill families in Ukraine. This mother in Ternopil holds her child tightly in a shelter, as if it’s the last time. russia doesn’t care about that. All they care about is their war cargo cult.

On May 2, 2024, Russian terrorists killed Anna Shalya (12 years old), her mother and grandmother. Never forget. Never forgive.

Time to sit outside in the evening air and cool the feck down. The joy of taking care of ill children when you're ill yourself... Though it IS nice when they slow down and get more snuggly😊 At least we're not throwing up😅

”Klockan 09.00 svensk tid sändes Försvarsmaktens första militära spanings- och övervakningssatellit upp i rymden. Satelliten innebär att det svenska försvaret nu är operativa i rymddomänen och får en egen nationell förmåga att upptäcka och analysera hot globalt.” www.mynewsdesk.com/se/forsvarsm...

I'll be live on LBC at 0750 BST tomorrow to talk about the latest round of American dumbassery (Iran and Germany, if you're keeping score)

I...really don't think he cares. He, and those close to him, are way too invested in this. They need to end up on trial and I hardly believe they'll go willingly

A European ally talking about territorial concessions feels like a rug being pulled from underneath us. How this war is settled is obviously extremely important to Ukraine, but also to us here in the eastern flank - How are we going to defend our sovereignty and our territorial integrity...

Lol, we're above $8 where I live. If no tax is adjusted, I'm guessing upwards $14 then given the price difference to the US right now. Assuming there'll be any at all. As with most things you do, if you're trying to make people love the US, you're failing miserably Trump🤡

"No one could stop the US raiding modern shipping, but it doesn't because it knows it benefits far more from unmolested maritime trade than any potential piracy spoils", used to be my go-to example illustrating how international law works. Will need to update with a "fucking idiot" caveat.

Jim Crow 2.0 ... or are we up to Jim Crow 3.0 now? Anyway, none of that woke stuff where black people have the same rights as proper Americans. They have ways to make sure that never happens.

"...under the patronage of the British...", talking about, among other things, Sweden, Norway and Denmark producing weapons. Why does this slightly offend me? Granted, I don't keep track of all cooperation, but we're quite capable of acting and making things go boom on our own thankyouverymuch.

More cards are incoming.

Again, laws are only laws if they're enforced and are otherwise just recommendations. Actions need to have consequences.

Uno is a game where having all the cards means you lost the game

*nom*

Maybe, just maybe the masses of people who thought the trade deal was bullshit and that having a spine is useful, wasn't so out of their depth after all? Give in to a bully, expect more bullying

This reminds me of a study many years ago that measured low income neighborhoods using employment statistics. Mercer Island got on the list - the fact that many folks living there had independent wealth never occurred to the compilers. 😂

Can someone explain the purpose of these bots to me? But I do find it a bit fascinating that you can now instinctively identify them in a split second 😅
