Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for assisting in & participating in the rape of countless children & without explanation, the Trump admin moved her to a Club Fed where she is now being waited on hand & foot & they even gave her a fucking puppy. Anyone wanna explain that?

In a time when the Democratic Party urgently needs Winston Churchills, it has far too many Neville Chamberlains.

This right here.

Tim Kaine is on MSNBC accusing Katy Tur of "overdramatizing" the way he and some other Democrats caved. "This is by far a minor-league issue within the Democratic Party," Kaine said. He's completely out of touch, or just lying.

I know this is an obvious and old point, but it still shocks me how quickly the culture of the GOP has come to defined by the absurd personality type of the "toad-licking, ass kissing alpha." Amazing that they've built an audience that finds such deportment appealing, rather than disqualifying.

Arms supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the PURL program continue without interruption, according to a NATO representative in a comment to Suspilne. According to him, NATO expects that more allies will announce new aid packages in the near future.

“The only way the war ends, really ends, meaning it's over and it doesn't start again next year, is if the russians decide that it's not worth fighting anymore. That's the conclusion they came to in Afghanistan.” This is WHY democratic nations need to arm and fund Ukraine to MAKE russia give up.

"But amid all the gloom, Nastya Ishchenko from the Skovoroda museum believes Ukrainians have also started to value more what is under threat from the Russian invasion." www.bbc.com/news/article...

🇨🇿🇺🇦 Czech President Petr Pavel has said he does not support the initiative to remove Ukrainian flags from state institutions in the country He recalled that these flags appeared as a symbol of solidarity with the state that Russia attacked.

🇨🇿🇺🇦 Czech media Deník N releases cover with QR codes for fundraisers to help Ukraine. The publication responded to the decision of the new speaker of the Czech Parliament who last week ordered the removal of the Ukrainian flag from the building of the Chamber of Deputies.

By 'Political and Diplomatic means' is Russian terrorist state code for: 'we'd prefer Ukraine to capitulate so we don't lose 1,000 Russian scum troops per day trying to take Ukraine by force'. Europe must put an end to the dangerous nonsense that the war can be solved by appeasement, it cannot.

No words My senator is speaking like she just suffered a major head injury and thinks it's 1993

Hoax (noun): Something real that actually happened that one dislikes and would've preferred hadn't happened For example, "Democrat Shutdown Hoax" or "Russia hoax"

What is especially infuriating, is the knowledge that if popular resistance manages to avert a fascist take-over, these senators will sit back and feel vindicated in their passivity.

Looks like there's an effort underway to issue a recall petition for Danielle Smith as well. Website: recalldaniellesmith.ca FB group: www.facebook.com/groups/41699... #Alberta #ableg #abpoli

This painting by Ludwig Meidner, Germany, called Apocalyptic Landscape, stood out to me at LACMA. Painted in 1913, it was an uncanny premonition of the chaos and cataclysm the war would bring. Because canvas was scarce, there is another painting on the back of this canvas. #finearts #history

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa. Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality. In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

Schumer must resign! Contact your Senators and tell them to call for Schumer's resignation! He orchestrated this vote so he could save face. Don't let him get away with it through silence. Tell those in power you won't accept this and neither should they. #US

we are cursed to live in a time of cowards

Behold the forces of the "2nd strongest" military in the world.

A Russian milblogger reported that at least some Russian units are being ordered to conserve ammunition, including a ban on suppressive fire.

How Trump Finally Lost Mr. and Mrs. Alito dailyvoice.com/new-jersey/h...

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free. gofund.me/e44538b52

Call me cynical, but I think Schumer did lead his caucus in the direction he wanted. He asked who would fall on the sword and got 6 Senators not up in 2026, one who is retiring, and one a Dem in name only. Easy peasy, saved his own face.

Some indication that civil society in Russia is not entirely dead. Unlike anti-war protests the government grudgingly tolerates some environmental activism.

Russia claims NATO is preparing “major sabotage” at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, but the scenario described is technically impossible The Insider unpacks the SVR's latest attempt to preemptively blame Ukraine for any potential incident at the facility.

1/ A wounded Russian soldier was buried up to his neck in a so-called "tight pit" to 'remotivate' him to go on an assault. In a video, the man names his commanders, whom he says are running an extortion racket, and appeals for help from the military authorities. ⬇️

New: We've translated in full a 1988 KGB training manual on how to infiltrate U.S. government facilities in the Middle East and North Africa. Something of a Russian growth industry these days, you might say. open.substack.com/pub/macspaun...

My food fussiness is almost all texture based and I CAN tell the difference between De Cecco and the US made brands so this is bad for my pasta loving family

The fact that the NYT even entertains such an outlandish, agenda-driven accusation isn’t just bad journalism. It’s how establishment outlets police the boundaries of “acceptable” debate and manufacture controversy over positions & people they want to keep on the margins.

A Russian blogger shared that many Russians do not realize how many Russian soldiers are dying in the war against Ukraine. "For these two small cities [Pokrovsk and Bakhmut], Russia has already killed 80-100 thousand of its own soldiers. It wasn't Ukraine that killed them, it was Russia," he says.

The commander of one of the units of the 218th Tank Regiment (military unit 82588 of the Russian Armed Forces) openly explained why there are so many missing soldiers in the Russian army.

Yes, the Dem cave was outrageous and horrible for morale. We’ll deal with that over time. But it’s also true that the overall pressure is now on the GOP, and the open enrollment premium increase notices only exacerbate that. It’s time to make ‘em sweat and try to save some lives in the process.

Reaching into the depths of my southernness to say, Senate Dems, Y'all ain't got no fight in you. Learned nothing. People went hungry; ATC were attacked and unpaid, and for what? Capitulation and a dedicated vote to a proposition you know you are going to lose. These are not serious people.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “Putin has tools that can destroy the European Union as an organization, but also Europe as a cultural phenomenon. “These tools are Russia’s fifth columns, present in every country of Europe.”

The evidence keeps accumulating that Brexit was an astonishing self-inflicted economic policy disaster. The fact that it is a slow-moving one bodes ill for those who think that populist economic mismanagement will translate into voters punishing populists. www.nber.org/system/files...

1/ Eleven Dutch parties across the political spectrum from socialist to conservative have issued a joint appeal to a provincial government to build a memorial to Black American soldiers who died in World War II, to replace one removed from the Netherlands American Cemetery. ⬇️

"Russians are disgusting; they treat people cruelly and beat them up. They’re very bad,treat foreigners badly,like slaves” Ukrainian soldiers of the 125th Heavy Mechanized Brigade captured an Iraqi citizen in the Kupiansk area,a 30-yr-old Alaa Mohammed Thajil (Al-Jubair village,Dhi Qar Governorate)

⚡️‘Destroying our memory’ YouTube wipes Ukrainian memorial channel, erasing stories of the fallen

Trump is threatening to sue the BBC for $1 billion over the documentary about him. Trying to control a media outlet by bullying. Worked in the US where all the craven media capitulated. Will it work in the UK?

(1) Economy was actually doing well under Biden, and his statistics were not lies. Trump is pointing to lies (2) Biden did things that helped the economy, while Trump raised taxes on working families with tariffs, and fought to end basic subsidies. NYT both-siding is DELIBERATE DISINFORMATION.

The gratuitous violence being inflicted on Chicago would have been anathema during the U.S. military's counterinsurgency operations in Iraq. And the "threats" Bovino claims CBP and ICE agents face there pales in comparison to Iraq. They're weekend warriors with a sadistic streak.

I am proud that my legal team and I are leading the fight in this case against the Republican Party’s effort to throw out lawful ballots. Everyone needs to recognize this as the next step in the GOP plan to ban mail-in voting entirely and to eventually target early voting as well.

After years building a trusting audience, a fake Russian Telegram channel imitating Ukraine's 79th Brigade is now promoting the disinfirmation it was intended to.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

This is not the first time we've seen federal agents direct chemical agents indiscriminately at members of the public in Chicago. Not at people attacking them or even protestors, just people going on with their day. bsky.app/profile/roya...

It is almost impossible to emphasize how unprofessional this is. Immigration enforcement agents pepper sprayed a car driving in the opposite direction, which was in no way a threat to them, hitting a toddler. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/09/c...
