Russia's leverage over Lukashenko is mainly through its almost total monopoly on Belarus export logistics, transit routes and maritime port access. Thus, Russia can dictate its conditions to Lukashenko.

with the Russian oil and gas sector in order to disincentivize any future sanctions... again, a vintage Putin tactic. And further powerful evidence of Trump's strategic alignment with Russia to secure private business opportunities for himself and his entourage.

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

Trying to end the practice of dumping industrial toxic chemicals, animal & human waste, tires, batteries, cars, old machinery into rivers, lakes, oceans. Smog. Dirt roads. It was good clean fun for teens to hunt & beat up gays on a saturday nights.

Women started to get credit in their own names. Child car seats began to save lives. Civil rights greatly improved opportunities for POC. The EPA was started and substantial environmental progress has been made. Acceptance of LGBTQ+ people by many in the U.S. and around the world. So much done.

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

The San Juan River at Pagosa Springs appears to have crested at just over 15' early this morning. It's in major flood stage and about two feet higher than last year's flood. The good news is the river should gradually recede today and this weekend. #COwx

Alamosa saw its 2nd-wettest day on record yesterday, with 1.67" of rain. Alamosa only averages 7.41" of rain per year, meaning they saw almost a quarter of their typical *annual* rainfall yesterday alone. Records in Alamosa date back to 1906 (120 years). #COwx

He’s so damn good at this. Jon Ossoff came out swinging against Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate debate. “It’s not just that you’ve hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office … It’s that you’re robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.” 🔥

This is both Colorado’s and Denver’s hottest start to a year on record (Jan-Sept), and it’s not even close. Statewide temps so far in 2026 are 1.6° warmer than 2012, a blowout for warmest year-to-date on record. The influence of a warming climate is clear on the chart below.

Also, to be clear, in the bolt and screw example above, the professor did not respond to the student's concerns, and instead picked up the screw and bold with the male female remark and moved them in a clear sexual gesture. This was consistent with behavior I had seen from him elsewhere.

Correct. My first wife was molested by her brother in law, my father was sexually inappropriate with my sister. Another sister was raped by an acquaintance. A former girlfriend who had come to the US from abroad had a faculty advisor who was inappropriate.

Even though man had threatened to use physical violence to "remove her" from "his equipment." She did file a report with the police—but they said there was nothing they could do because he didn't "put his hands on her." Incident occurred at Onelife Fitness in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
