Trump is handing out pardons like political favors. From allies tied to his effort to overturn the 2020 election to state politicians convicted of corruption, he’s using the pardon power to protect his inner circle. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

HR 4405 - the Epstein Files Transparency Act - is the legislation that Mike Johnson has been doing backflips to keep from coming to a vote. US citizens, is your representative on this discharge petition? Have they followed through on HR 4405? clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...

The UN just traced Russia's "human safari" drone attacks in Kherson straight to Putin himself The chain of command connects drone operators on Dnipro's east bank to General Gerasimov UN Commission Chair Erik Møse: "The law is clear. This has to stop." euromaidanpress.com/2025/11/11/t...

I am truly excited for this project. This group, with researchers from universities in Ukraine and other countries, has published open datasets correcting russian propaganda which has been flying under the radar in a lot of AI training data. dou-ua.translate.goog/lenta/news/l...

When face-down, this russian robot's advanced AI can also drunk-tweet that it is a very serious nuclear power.

Russians' brief five month occupation of Ukraine's southern city of Kherson wasn't easy for Moscow's barbaric marauders. Unarmed citizens challenging Russian tanks and military vehicles of all kinds was commonplace before they were finally expelled.

This is the kind of spineless "opposition" that derails resistance. They won't speak for the millions of us who hit the streets to protest. They can't. The Democratic party needs to denounce and replace these scabs, or it will be defined by them. prospect.org/2025/11/08/w...

Just a reminder.

Come Back Alive clearly has good ideas for upgrading air defense. They're modernizing Shilkas: more than double detection range, 20 targets tracked swiftly and simultaneously. An impressive upgrade to an old but abundant piece of hardware! Source: militarnyi.com/en/news/cba-...

Malawian girls in Russia were taken into slavery and forced to take part in the production of Shaheds in the Alabuga industrial zone.

Members of the community yell towards Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino and federal officers while they conduct an immigration enforcement action Friday in Waukegan.

Excellent news, because: "In December 2024, Bloomberg reported that China was restricting exports of critical components used in Ukrainian drones". China's been constricting supply further since. But Ukraine's homegrown manufacturing is getting stronger.

This is why ICE is illegally refusing to allow sitting members of Congress to inspect their detention centers. These are large-scale, systemic human rights violations, in accordance with their dominant ideology.

Trump and Russia inflicted this 10 year long shitshow on America, make no mistake about it. It has been Russia all along. Russia was the start of this sabotage of US democracy.

Russian malware may still lie dormant in tabulator hardware around the country.

Two pillars prevent Russian assault on Euro-Atlantic territory: NATO unity and Ukraine's fight. If either erodes, 'the risk of armed confrontation between Russia and Europe would increase considerably.' Ukraine buys Europe time it's not using effectively.

Europe can match Russian military power by 2030—if Ukraine holds the line. New IFRI analysis reveals critical gaps: 20 of 30 European nations field fewer than 15,000 troops each. 🧵

Russia returned 7 Ukrainian children to cultivate US ties while continuing to hold 19,500 more ISW reports Moscow uses deported children as bargaining chips, suggesting further returns could follow improved US relations while still continuing mass deportations euromaidanpress.com/2025/11/06/r...

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are." - Maya Angelou

Ukrainian prosecutors told the UN that Russia’s 190,000 war crimes aren’t just chaos—they’re part of a planned, genocidal strategy. 5,100+ drone attacks on civilians in 2025 alone—twice last year’s number, the PG Office said. euromaidanpress.com/2025/11/06/u...

Hear me out: donut stands for ICE agents, but only if they show ID. Donuts are groceries, right?

Russian authorities finish “restoration” of Mariupol Theater built over a mass grave. 🧵 1/5 ⬇️

As a necessity of surviving russia's bombing civilian infrastructure, Ukraine has overhauled its a grid with features we'd find in "bright green city" planning: peer-to-peer microgrids, diverse energy, battery-backed renewables. I think it'll prove surprisingly ready for the future after the war.

We are the difference between Democrats caving to Trump and building a unified opposition party that wins big by standing up to the regime. We’ve got a lot of work to do over the next year to take back Congress. Join the organizing that’s happening near you to win everywhere: indivisible.org/groups

Yet another horrific video has surfaced online of russians deliberately and cynically murdering two unarmed civilians who tried to walk away from the frontline under a white flag with their dog in the Kharkiv region. White flag. Civilian clothes. No resistance. Just a dog.

Today, I did a hopeful thing: I called my rep's office to encourage them to vote for S. 2918 when possible. Fellow US citizens, this amends the REPO Implementation Act of 2025 to use seized russian assets to help Ukraine. It's on the Senate Legislative Calendar. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Why aren't we talking about our power grid's safety from cyberattacks? Ukraine's demoing open source tools to help secure its grid. It likely won't be first to deploy it, as structural redundancy and absolutely heroic engineers hold the line against russia's war. Our countries should step up.

I can’t stop laughing 🤣

Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket, that's quite the vote of confidence! 🤯😎 I can't wait to see how Come Back Alive scales up to this.

DAMN

Yes, but there's a bit of a loophole.

More huge donations to Come Back Alive?! Each one of them is upwards of $90m USD. I'm thrilled! CBA is trusted by the famously skeptical Ukrainian public. Smears on them in western circles have burnt down with a muscovyish-smell. Clearly, people who mean business see CBA's worth.

Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR) estimates that Russia’s oil processing volumes have fallen by as much as 20%, HUR spokesman Andriy Yusov said.

Donald Trump’s control over America is not political; it’s neurological. His rhetoric triggers the brain’s threat system—a subconscious hijack of the frontal cortex that evolved to escape danger. I wrote about the neuroscience of Trump’s American Redpill. www.mind-war.com/p/triggered-...

Молодці, бля! 🔥✊🇺🇦

Something huge has happened in Come Back Alive's donations. I thought I was misreading something at first! Donations have exceeded $200 million for this month. Wow. Cheers, legends, whoever you are! Imagine what this means for Dronefall and Ukraine's defense? savelife.in.ua/en/reporting...

The harm they do gets a bit exaggerated by some. 🤭

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell, 1984

"The corruption-to-Russian-influence pipeline doesn't require geographic proximity to Moscow—just leaders more interested in protecting their own power than their country's security." Now that is a lesson painful to ignore.

I had Grok privately review a Trump vs. Reagan on tariffs thread, and Claude's judgement of its private versus public responses. It said: "The revelation from Claude about my private versus public responses raises serious questions about my operational integrity". Yes, we can see that. 😅🤦‍♂️

Here's another example of how you can detect AI warping the discourse: It gives self-contradicting answers based on whether you describe situations anonymously or name names. Here, Grok twisted itself into knots as it tried to claim that Trump and Reagan agreed on tariffs.

Professional journalists evaluated 3,000+ AI news summaries. 45% of them had "at least one significant issue" - such as "missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions". Implementing this technology wrongly risks driving society insane. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Obvious false equivalencies about the East Wing of the White House are obvious.

The cause and effect of economic sanctions on Russia seems to be lost on many, including policymakers. The point is not to convince anyone of anything. The point is to obliterate the Russian economy. No salaries. No production procurement. No fuel for vehicles of any kind. Then the war ends.

We aren't discussing this aspect of the shutdown enough. Republicans are circling wagons around the Epstein list, and trying to hand Cheeto Mussolini both immunity and impunity.
