Hacker group Black Mirror releases first batch of Rostec files detailing Russia’s international military deals and sanctions evasion schemes The files detail logistics, military-technical cooperation with foreign clients, and pricing for military items.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

History has many painful lessons.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Hello on this Friday morning, 3rd October 2025. Day 1318 of Russia's three-day attempt to take Kyiv. Had Ukraine received this sort of help in the first months of the war, it would already be won. We know see the cost of inaction and cowardice. Here's the daily thread:

It seems Bluesky doesn’t let me post again. Maybe someday you’ll read this. I wrote a letter about a fantastic Ukrainian woman, who worked with Salvador Dalí, invented the Powder Puff Tutu… Here (when you see this): www.patreon.com/posts/from-k...

That adage about a broken, hypocritical clock . . .

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Sure, the federal government is shut down, but…at least we are planning to bail out Argentina. “America First,” my ass.

Priorities.

Republicans, who control Congress, are lying by calling this a #DemocratShutdown. Democrats are responding honestly with #RepublicanShutdown. But I suspect the most accurate description is #EpsteinShutdown.

Day 1316 of Russia's war of choice is well underway. Having been locked in a studio, I'm only just managing to get today's daily thread started, so a lot to catch up on. Thanks or the wait - hope it's worth it!

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context. So we've posted the interview's unedited AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT: www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

The Ukrainian military—the toughest, most experienced, most adaptable, most successful on the modern battlefield—is beardy old men, women, artists, gamers who can’t deadlift sh*t but can fly a drone into a Russian helicopter rotor Focusing on capabilities, not “looks,” is how you achieve victory

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Please take time to read. This right here scares the shit out of me and should for you too. If these generals aren’t willing to sacrifice their pensions for our democracy then what are we willing to sacrifice to save it?

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

There's a quote for every occasion.

A white hard right winger murdered a white hard right winger and the hard right says “the transgender black communists must answer for this”

Good for Watson. Words that should have come from Trump since he was there the first day. But this is the kind of behavior he encourages.

Just did a Substack live with Adam Kinzinger. We talked US politics, whether he is afraid of Trumpite retribution, air power, the war in Ukraine and the future of warfare. Enjoy. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

As a result of a nighttime Russian attack, the house of Pastor of the Melitopol Christian Church and volunteer chaplain, Mark Serhieiev, was destroyed. After the missile strike, a fire broke out in the house, followed by an explosion. The chaplain rescued his children from under the rubble

A big congratulations to the American fans at the Ryder Cup! Just as more and more foreign tourists were voicing their concerns about travelling to the US because it was becoming more unwelcoming, more unfriendly, and even downright nasty to foreigners, you have gone and proved them right.

Day 1313 of Ukraine's bid to remain free and democratic in the face of Russia's deadly full invasion. And Sunday started with another deadly attack on Kyiv and around the country as Putin and his horde of war criminals become ever more desperate. Here's today's🧵

The United States for many years.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

Why are leaders in media, law and finance not standing up to what many call abuses of presidential power? In an era of “shareholder capitalism, the overseers of ABC and CBS must keep their eyes on the stock price. And by that measure they have been in no position to push back,” Noam Scheiber writes.

79. American citizen.

🇺🇦🕯️Hey world, listen! Today, Russia murdered a 12-year-old girl. And yet Lavrov dares to say, “we never attack civilians.” Do not let their lies poison the truth. Do not give their words a stage. Ukraine is bleeding, our children are dying. Help Ukraine.

George Galloway being detained is an opportunity to post his all time taken on Ukraine

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

The free weekend update is out. Starts with an update on the Ukrainian campaign against Russian oil production. More signs of its strategic impact--Russia will not be restarting refined oil exports in Oct. They need what they can for their own needs. This is good. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

Such a worthless good for nothing piece of shit. And so are any elected officials not speaking out against this. Smh.

other98 Donald Trump was investigated because he's a criminal. James Comey is being investigated because Donald Trump is a criminal.

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

Medals for soldiers who shot unarmed women and children on their own land? No wonder you like Russia so much

Russia has already lost the war. Increased support for Ukraine, economically, militarily and morally is how we win the peace. This is a decisive point in history. Countries, organizations and individuals must pick the right side. If you side with fascist Russia you will be forever condemned.

Hello again on Saturday 27 September, Day 1312 of Russia's full invasion. If you're lucky enough to be able to enjoy weekends, spare a thought for the tens of thousands physically fighting Russia today, defending democracy and, indeed, Europe. Here's the daily thread:

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."
