Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.

There's a front group white paper trying to undermine data center opposition by claiming it's all part of a Chinese plot. Here's the single page of the 42-page report that suggests CodePink is at the center of it (based on an email campaign). But data centers aren't among CP's top campaigns.

Carlson and Greenwald are malignant clowns The truth: Putin is, so far, the greatest mass-murderer of this century

Trump's DHS has spent $2.2B buying immigrant detention centers from private prison giants CoreCivic and GEO. Remember: both were among Trump's biggest donors in 2024 and have secured millions in lucrative federal contracts since his return to power. Never forget who profits from Trump's cruelty.

Sunday 19th January 2031 - hell that's so far into the future right? It's 1,626 in the future actually. That's the exact length that Ukraine has been fighting the full invasion. Imagine fearing for your life every day until January 2031 Welcome to the daily🇺🇦 🧵for Day 1626

I'm just now realizing this latest McConnell photo+statement is an excuse note, like in grade school It's not proof of life for the general public like the last photo. It's his staff making an excuse for his inability to make his first scheduled physical appearance b/c of death or vegetative state

They're really making it hard to sell that "worst of the worst" lie.

Second time in just about a week when a man not targeted by ICE was killed by them

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

“The motorist killed by ICE officers in a Maine shooting Monday was not the target of the warrant the officers were executing, Sen. Angus King said Homeland Security Secretary Mullin told him.”

Anyone else notice the #ETTD turnaround time is getting faster? The Freedom 250 was fast. The Reflecting pool was also quick. But the USA v. Belgium touch of death might be the fastest.

Aleksandr Lunin taped an Instagram appeal to Putin demanding an audience so he could describe the dire situation faced by Russian troops in Ukraine. It had millions of views within hours, and within two days, secret police broke down the door of his house and arrested him. He hasn't been seen since.

MERZ: Ukraine is in a new position of strength. It is beginning to dawn on Moscow. Russia will not win this war. And, ladies and gentlemen, Europe's support for Kyiv is unwavering. We are determined to increase pressure on Russia's already strained economy.
