Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

These 1000 fallen Ukrainian soldiers are directly because of the man that Trump just rolled out the red carpet for. Trump will never deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. He doesn't even deserve to be pissed on if he was on fire.

Russia has returned the bodies of 1,000 fallen Ukrainian soldiers. Among them were five POWs listed as severely wounded and meant to be exchanged — a clear violation of prior agreements.

Is it still a military coup when it's the current President that is going to use the military "parade" and the insurrection act to take over a democratic government and cancel elections ... next week?

News Eye@newseye.bsky.social

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)
