No longer on "X" and probably shouldn't be on here. I joined social media in 2016 with the idea that together, we will ensure good things continue to happen, in spite of Trump.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?
You can kill as many people as you want, but you target a beautiful precious data center? The one that hosted all 40,000 Sexy Ladies For Ken Paxton accounts?

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.
Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

"We want ICE the fuck out of our neighborhood." Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson delivered an impassioned, unfiltered address in Marble Hill following an ICE agent-involved shooting that left a man hospitalized.
As usual, he says it so clearly: "The Afrikaner policy... proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you're poor, you're a moocher, and if you're gainfully employed, you're taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian."

Here it is. The final stage of what I think maybe a Trump hoax. The US President's regime openly threatens Ukraine. The deal for a few drops of diesel was a smokescreen. But he needed to present it publicly so he could then threaten Ukraine to lay off US (i.e. Putin's) interests.

He’s mad our country is run by crooks and murderers and so am I. I’m no longer interested in negotiating with these people and neither is he.
Bill McKibben@billmckibben.bsky.social · 3d agoFiguring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register
🚨Sen. Gustavo Rivera caught two plain-clothed ICE agents who claimed to be investigating a shooting carried out by their colleagues in the Bronx. However, they appeared to conduct the investigation in highly illicit manners.

"You hired half the Third Reich to staff your office ... If John Lewis were marching today, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club" -- here's a supercut of Jon Ossoff SMASHING Mike Collins during tonight's debate
Sen. Ossoff: Mike Collins voted 7 times for the war in Iran, voted for the tariffs, and voted to cut your healthcare. His office has been in cahoots with some of the most notorious white supremacists in America. He's already brought disgrace to our state.
