🔥🛢️Russian oil refinery in Orsk, Orenburg region, is currently under drone attack. Orsk oil refinery has a capacity of 6,6mln tons of oil per year. And is located around 1500km from the frontline.

Russia now has to import gasoline from China. This is the ultimate humiliation for the Russians to be so at the mercy of China for both their imports AND exports.

.@OwenJones84’s new “documentary” erases terror, ignores LGBT persecution, and vilifies Israel, the only country in the region where gay rights are protected. Propaganda is not journalism. honestreporting.com/owen-jones-i...

What matters is not where blood is shed, but why it is shed. For life. For freedom. For Ukraine. Slava Ukraini

Bluesy is full of antisemitism. The people here just try and deny they do that. And try and get it removed? Not gonna happen… you just get put on a “loves killing babies” list. But it’s a little less nazi like than the alternative, so I remain.

Yep. This is the supposed nice and kind far-left. Praising an attack on a synagogue is sick. That is absolutely antisemitism.

I find the "I'm just pointing out the positives of communist regimes" type of Marxist historian far more disgusting and insidious than the open Holodomor denying types. "Yes, millions were bulldozed into mass graves, but have you considered the space program?"

Sometimes we get a win

Timely reminder of how dumb the Trump/Hegseth Doctrine is: trying to instill the ethos of russia's armed forces, just as they suffer a pounding for the ages by Ukraine.

Snow is already falling in Ukraine, this was filmed at the Bukovel resort.

Bluesky people have manners it's really quite cool

Mrau motherfuckers.. this cat eats fascists

Socks are in your midst. They're cool, funny and smart. Watch out ..the socks might just be about here #soon

Cattitude intensifies.

25 years ago, a miscaptioned photo of Tuvia Grossman nearly lynched in Jerusalem exposed how the media flipped victim and aggressor. That moment sparked HonestReporting, now 25 years of holding the press accountable. Read the story of our beginnings: honestreporting.com/25-years-pla...

At Gela Khasaia’s court hearing, the prosecutor outright lied, claiming he “appeared at the police station on his own.” This came after Khasaia pointed out that the arrest report listed the wrong time. He says he was actually arrested on his way home, in his own neighborhood.

Art of the deal

Trump presented his peace plan as a done deal. But it's not even close. Qatar and Turkey need to get Hamas to agree to things it has refused. Trump must ensure that Netanyahu adheres to the agreement, even if it threatens his coalition. I wrote about what's missing from Trump's plan (gift link):

Bloomberg: "Russia may nationalize and swiftly sell off foreign-owned assets under a new privatization mechanism in retaliation for any European moves to seize Russian holdings abroad..." This would be ideal. Remaining Western companies in Russia should be punished for... /1

Last night, russia attacked Odesa with drones, causing a fire at an Ukrzaliznytsia depot, wounding a train driver and another person in a residential building. Another vile attack on civilian infrastructure by the terrorrist state. Help prevent the next ones: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Defending our democratic civilization against cognitive attacks, while many don’t even realize it is worth defending, is a deeply philosophical question. I’m no philosopher, but where are those willing to confront it, when so many of our “philosophical thinkers” stand with the anti-Western front?

This is what communist governments do. It’s central planning at its best. This is far-left wing economic policy. Republicans are now communists. At least the kind of “communism” that China is.

¡Viva Nuestros Deliveristas! Maybe picking on hard working immigrants who spend all their time cycling around with your food is not such a cool stunt.

not all heroes wear capes - some of them push their bikes faster than Stephen Miller's MAGA Gestapo can run

It’s hard to find much evidence of a true youth movement rallying behind Kirk beside the dedicated conservatives who were already fans. Instead, we see a top-down effort from powerful people to use a controversial man’s death to create a cult of personality where one didn't exist. trib.al/AXEPYZR

1/ Russia is reportedly using criminal networks, neo-Nazis, and Telegram bots to recruit disaffected elements in the US and Europe to carry out espionage and sabotage. They have targeted English football hooligans and right-wing Americans with a bot called 'Eye of Sauron'. ⬇️

"Nice chip industry you got there, shame if something happened to it" Project 2025/MAGA USA is a gangster state.

Labeled hundreds of accounts just now found in this search bsky.app/search?q=aip... I did a manual review of all results but might have missed a couple all the same. Please let me know if so.

Incidentally, it's surprising that this violent individual has not been banned by bsky, just because he keeps the tone civil here. Extreme Marxist-Leninists are just as bad as anything the far right has on X.
