Joyful Main Bastard

My latest → In the past days, Ukraine's military demonstrated through successful Storm Shadow strikes against Russia's arms industry that a delivery of Taurus KEPD-350 cruise missiles would still be necessary. 🔗 deaidua.org/news/2026/10...

❗️The initial test package costs $582 and includes: 🔗 PayPal: marshaln111@gmail.com 1 × 3×3 m net launcher with 5 nets 1 × 6×6 m net launcher with 5 nets If we can raise $582 now, they can begin learning and testing the s ystems while we prepare the larger fundraiser.

Happy Toonie Eve, Tooniacs! 💙💛 Have you caught the latest “This Week’s Toonie” with @freizeitgestaltung.bsky.social and @drobotunv.bsky.social? Here’s something pretty incredible - the Toonie Ambulance has helped save over 500 lives. That’s what this community helped...🧵⤵️ youtu.be/VdXn7RuT8Tg?...

It’s amazing that MAGA labels every election result is doesn’t like as “stolen” or an example of “fraud “, but when Putin “wins” almost 90% of the vote in his crooked elections, they don’t make a peep.

The Ethicist | As part of a feud with my neighbor, I reported her Guatamalan gardener to ICE. I've since learned they shipped him to Central African Republic—not what I'd intended. Given my anguish, can I now claim my Pomeranian as an emotional support dog that can sit with me in First Class?

This thread comes to a close... ... as we now have a final result. Let the records show that, with 92% of the vote countywide, Lula is up 3.3%. (Can he end up doubling his 2022 margin?)

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

The 696th consecutive day of protests in Georgia.

1. I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported Ukraine throughout these years and ask for your help in the end of this text, please read the whole post and repost it greatly helps. donation link: givebutter.com/liberty-engi...

You know how you can tell people who are still wilfully denying reality? They're telling you Trump has recently changed course, become more pro-Russian, or pivoted against Ukraine. This is nonsense. Trump has been with Putin throughout. Its just the press failed to see it.

@caolanrob.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on Marco Rubio claiming the U.S. has nothing to do with Ukraine's Starlink issues: “Everyone has been passing this off because they know that what they are doing is morally reprehensible.”

With a few dozen modern fighters like the F16, including weapons and logistics, Ukraine would completely neutralize Russian drone strikes and would push their Flankers out of range, stopping their glide bomb attacks. Something we could do tomorrow. It's time to act.

russian attacks try to plunge Ukraine into darkness, night after night. Every morning, Ukrainians wake up to the light again. But to see more sunrises and hear fewer air raid sirens, civilians need your support. u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

I say again: strong defence is almost useless without a strong society. Defence is never stronger than its weakest link, and a society divided into have-lots and have-nots is ripe for one of the oldest tricks in the book: divide et impera. TAX. THE. RICH. bsky.app/profile/jmko...

If the test of a theory is its predictive power, then Trump-Russia is the most robust theory in all contemporary political science.

What Ukrainian troops faced while pulling back from their positions.

❗️Zelensky says Starlink restrictions remain active in Ukraine, cutting connections above 161 km/h and preventing interceptor drones from working. He says tests in the EU showed the same terminals working above 180 km/h, leading Kyiv to conclude the restriction is deliberate. #Ukraine

Will he vote to impeach Trump?

Stop the Lindsey Graham rewriting-history fest. If he had been alive, and Trump had waived sanctions on Russia, he would have done what he had always done for the last 10 years--back Trump to the hilt, without reservations. Ukraine meant nothing to him compared to Trump.

Latest piece (mostly free). The great Graham-Blumenthal con comes to an end. This bill was never going to hurt Russia or help Ukraine. Trump just made that explicit. Shame on those who pretended otherwise. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/trump-prot...

Just as with Musk buying Twitter, I wouldn’t assume any of Ellison’s media blitzkrieg was meant to turn a profit. The goal is controlling access to information, made possible by 50 years of failing to enforce monopoly laws.

Tonight is my final debate with Susan Collins. I’ve invited her to many town halls during this campaign. She hasn’t shown up to a single one. After 25 years without hosting one herself, “Our Senator” is long overdue to answer to the Mainers living with the consequences of her votes.

I’m from Ukraine. I hug my cat. I write in the dark. I laugh, I cry, I survive. Because giving up is not an option. #ukraine #ukrainians #cat #ukrainerussiawar #ukrainiangirl

🐝 JUST $940 LEFT TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN! Only the final station remains, and we have until October 18 to fund it before Wild Hornets move on to their next fundraiser. ⬇️⬇️⬇️We’re incredibly close now. Help us finish this together! ❤️

3/ Pre-strike satellite photos show numerous Su-34s lined up in the open without any protection. Post-strike photos appear to show a clean-up in progress, with piles of wreckage from between two and four destroyed Su-34s and spots where two presumably damaged aircraft were removed.

British outlet Forces News highlights Wild Hornets' STING S in its coverage of russia's new jet-powered drones, including geran-4 and geran-5. Read more 👇 www.forcesnews.com/ukraine/russ...

🔻 Satellite images of 🇷🇺 Borisoglebsk Air Base as of October 15, 08:25 UTC On the night of October 15, several Su-34 were destroyed at Borisoglebsk Air Base.

Given that Germany is funding a “significant portion” of the Starlink network in Ukraine, I inquired with both the German MoD and the Federal Foreign Office about the current situation with Starlink/Starshield.

Susan Collins wants voters to believe she is a moderate Republican who stands up to Trump. But the truth is Collins only takes sides against the regime when she knows her vote won’t stop Trump.

russia’s war is not over. Every day, it takes Ukrainian lives. In just a few days this week, russian strikes killed 78 people and injured 215 more. Children killed in their sleep. Join Sky Defense—help Ukraine stand strong: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

LOL Ukraine hit a Russian data center and Russian bot activity immediately dropped to practically zero. Elon is mad hahahahahaha

😂 FirePoint rocks! 🇺🇦

An amazing update on our fundraiser to help Ukraine with non lethal engineering equipment. Over 24 hours we secured 30,000$ and now can start procuring the machines. And even better, our Japanese partners already have machines ready to be shipped Donate here: givebutter.com/liberty-engi...

23,000$ fundraised over the the past 14 hours 50000$ left to go. Your donations, likes and reposts are extremely helpful.

Unfortunately fundraising virtually stopped and almost no donations have been coming in for the past two weeks we only raised 3,000$ which isn't enough to purchase new equipment for Ukraine. givebutter.com/liberty-engi...

15 thousand dollars raised over the past 4 hours, I would like to thank everyone who donated, shared, commented. I also want to thank everyone who still supports Ukraine, understanding that the war will continue until Russia has the capacity to wage one. givebutter.com/liberty-engi...

Despite Daily bombings of innocent civilians by russia and the USA betrayal Ukraine is still standing and fighting for its survival You can help Ukraine by donating towards engineering equipment using link below Equipment is used to build shelter and bunkers givebutter.com/liberty-engi...

Just $3,870 left. Two Hornet Vision CTRL stations are funded. One remains, and we have until October 18 to close it for the 12th Special Operations Center. ⬇️⬇️Help to finish the campaign⬇️⬇️

⚠️ We’re in the final stretch: less than $4,000 separates us from completing the entire campaign. The first two stations are secured. The third is the only one left, and we have until October 18 before Wild Hornets have to move on to their next fundraiser. ⬇️⬇️⬇️Help to finish the campaign⬇️⬇️⬇️

For years, we've rightly focused on the military and political threat posed by Putin's Russia. But there's another cost that receives far less attention. A hidden cost paid by British taxpayers, businesses and public services. It's called the Putin Tax. 🧵

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Russia has attacked two cargo ships in Bulgaria’s EEZ. One ship had departed Romania and was sailing to Türkiye. The other departed Egypt and was also sailing to Romania. The Turkish-owned ALFA WATAN sank after it was hit. This is a major escalation, as neither vessel was sailing to or from Ukraine.

The distance between the Ukrainian border checkpoint and the Moldovan border checkpoint at Palanca-Maiaki-Udobnoe is 1,100 meters. This is far outside the CEP of Gerbera and Geran drones. This wasn't a Russian "accident."

As russia continues to relentlessly bomb Ukrainian cities with jet-powered drones, Sky Sentinel units that you helped purchase, are now helping shot them down. This became possible because of your support — thank you💙💛 Let’s get more of these units: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...
