Looks like the batshit crazy are starting to seperate themselves from the batshit crazy who get paid by Putin. Probably just jealous.

Certainly would be a shame if anything were to happen to these hundreds of highly flammable trucks that've been waiting for days to ferry across the Kerch Strait to Crimea. Things might be hotter than the war between Putin's mom's STD's after a weekend with the local Petersburg alcoholics.

‼️ Russia: “Russia will attempt to sell Yuzhuralzoloto at auction for the third time.” 🇷🇺: Can I get a bid? JUST 1 VALID BID?! ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/06/02/r...

According to DeepState data, in May of this year, the AFU reclaimed more territory than the Russians managed to occupy.

Remember: Bluesky isn’t like Twitter, if you want people to see something you have to share it!

‼️ Russia: “The Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance warned Putin that the economy would not withstand a continuation of the war.” According to reporting from Bloomberg It sounds like there’s some drama! ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/06/01/t...

Has Hegseth finished that “investigation” of what happened on the bombing of the elementary school where all those kids are killed? Americans talked about My Lai for years. Decades. Now nothing seems to matter anymore and we just move on. When do we get the findings from that?

Trump lost his war and is now bargaining from a position of weakness. Any deal to open the strait is going to cost tens of billions of dollars - a strait that was open before Trump and Bibi went in guns blazing.

Wake Up!!! It is BLATANT market manipulation 🤬 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

“[A]dministration officials have sought to pull every bureaucratic lever possible to cut off immigrants — both documented and undocumented — from jobs, medical care, financial services, tax credits and even from enrolling their children in day care. The goal has been to compel immigrants to leave…”

China’s smaller competitor 🇺🇸- is busy building a ballroom, a statue, and a forever wars doctrine to keep its links to child rape, fraud and work with Jeffrey Epstein out of the headlines. Go figure. 3/3

It is very easy to manipulate modern recommendation algorithms to boost certain kinds of content (see: Musk and X). It’s probably Not Good that the thoughts, worldviews, and behaviors of hundreds of millions of people are downstream of those biases, which can be set by a handful of people

💔 Ukrainian soldiers unexpectedly arrived from the front for their daughters' graduation ceremonies.

I prefer calling it the "internyet".

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Tusk: If we quarrel about the past, someone else will win the future. The Ukrainian president should finally understand this. The Polish president should too. Before it's too late!

🇷🇴 Russian drone hits high-rise building in Romania. How did the world react? ▪️ NATO: "We condemn Russia's recklessness. We will continue to strengthen defenses against all threats, including drones." ▪️ Von der Leyen: Russia "crossed another red line." 21st package of sanctions is being prepared.

🇪🇺 EU will demand that Russia limit its armed forces, — Kallas She also noted that the European Union will demand the withdrawal of Russian troops from Moldova, South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia.

The Kremlin keeps recycling the same ‘Zelenskyy is a drug addict’ narrative because disinformation campaigns benefit from repetition.  In our attention economy, emotional accusations travel faster than corrections, and propagandists know it.   But a rumour repeated 1,000 times is still a rumour

😄 The pro-Kremlin newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets published an article arguing that defeat is actually a victory, and that losing a war is even advantageous.

1/ Russian soldiers who are blind, deaf, have lost limbs, or are in wheelchairs, are having their medical discharges cancelled and are being sent back to Ukraine to fight. It appears to be Russia's latest measure to make up for its huge losses. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/shau...

The stunning growth in the issuance of Russian government bonds continues to get worse, as the Kremlin forces banks to pay for the war. Before the war, 30% of russian bonds were purchased by foreign entities, now 0%. Snake eats tail.

This is 14% of Lebanon's territory. Functionally indistinguishable from what Russia has done in Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea.

Congratulations to the Ukrainian Parliament and President Zelenskyy's team for the swift work to ratify the main documents related to the €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan. This hard work paves the way for the first disbursements in June.

MIT (endowment: $27B) shuttering three of its four main libraries is one of those news items that just knocks you off balance, auguring, as it does, profound and permanent changes to the entire institutional apparatus of higher education in this country.

🚀 European ambassadors were shown the "stuffing" of "Oreshnik", which Russia hit on May 24: the boards for the missile are produced at the Minsk plant "Integral" "Russia is not capable of waging such a war on its own. It needs foreign electronics and Belarusian industry," said Palisa.

The further Putinisation of America. For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law.

Who knew it was still even possible to stand out for vulgarity in America?

this side effect of the war is not even part of the US conversation

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

"In September 2025, nine mosques and cultural centers in and around Paris were targeted...Bloody severed pig heads, each marked with the word “Macron” in blue ink, were left outside their front doors." This was a Russian stunt. From @occrp.org Read more: www.occrp.org/en/investiga...

If even Russian sources admit there’s a shortage of drones and operators, then Ukraine’s strategy of relying on mass FPVs, mid-range strikes, and wearing down logistics is clearly paying off. The strikes on Kyiv looked more symbolic than effective.

1/ Russian soldiers in Ukraine face a "catastrophic" shortage of drones and personnel at the front, according to two Russian warbloggers. The Russian offensive is coming to a standstill with Ukrainian forces said to be outnumbering the Russians two or three to one in places. ⬇️

◼️Altitude - up to 5000 meters, range - up to 450 km ◼️ Engines - Chinese turbojet Telefly with a thrust of 160-200 kg ◼️Warhead - from 50 to 90 kg, including thermobaric.

Looks like we've passed peak academia. www.ft.com/content/8097... via @data.ft.com

If you're still trying to figure it out after a decade that might be a clue....

Politico reports Ukraine is increasingly using its Lima electronic warfare system to make Russian drones and missiles miss. The system jams and spoofs satellite navigation, pushing weapons off target and adding a cheaper air defense layer as missiles run short. #Ukraine

They lie. They cheat. They profit. I'm fighting to ban members of Congress AND the president from trading stocks, because no one should be profiting off the backs of the people they were elected to serve.

Oko Gora analysts mapped around 50 geolocated drone strikes on logistics along highways M14 and H20 over the past two months.

I keep coming back to this masterpiece. A century of russian imperial mythology dismantled in a few words. 🙇🏻‍♂️ @darthputinkgb.bsky.social 👏

How are you bringing in the weekend? The president of the United States is posting about building a messianic golden defensive force field around the White House and annexing Greenland

"On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world." From Robert Kagan, @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

russian sources about Lyman "The surrender of Yampol and Dibrova near Lyman has begun. Under the stories of the drunken commander Gerasimov that 80 percent of Lyman is controlled by the Ukrainians, they are conducting successful counterattacks!!! 1/2

1/ Russian warblogger Lev Vershinin wonders how Russia has managed to revert to 18th century standards of brutal military discipline, as seen in this video. How did it "become so savage in just one generation?", he asks. ⬇️

Russian missiles armed with depleted uranium warheads were discovered after an attack on Ukraine's Chernihiv Oblast last month, Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) said on May 20.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.
