Russia's own navy is blowing up tonight - locals filming in panic, no idea what's happening. 15th Naval Arsenal, Lebyazhe, Leningrad Oblast. Secondary detonations ongoing. Evacuation underway. Three nights ago: Kronstadt. Now the depot that feeds the same fleet. Support link is in our Bio.

I know we shouldn't respond to the trolling, but Vance implying that Sikhs are part of a "mass invasion of migrants", when they fought in tens of thousands for the British in two world wars and even THE INDIAN MUTINY is 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

The future of Bluesky.

It's built for our snipers, not enemy's snipers. And bc of the height we get a very clear view of everything all over DC."
