That horrible video of a Ukrainian vegetable-seller being stalked by a Russian drone is just one example among many, many thousands of recent incidents where combatants used small drones to kill and terrorize obvious civilians. We have to do more to protect these people - and here’s some ways how:

What Can We Do About Drone Attacks on Civilians? Some Thoughts

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time analyzing, reporting on, and researching the horrifying global uptick in the use of small, cheap, short-range drones to intentionally target and kill civilians...

FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

Literally no one is doing this and you guys are just so weird

If the academy gets pulled into coming out swinging against the biggest adaptation of Homer in probably a couple generations off the back of one prominent scholar deciding to be Reviewer 2 to Nolan's work, it will say, IMO, pretty damning things about academia's ability to foster public engagement.

🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

NOTE: Schumer recruited Stevens specifically because McMorrow publicly declared she would not support him for Senate caucus leader. Stevens was the fourth person he asked.

This is a fun feed. My husband and I had two small children in 1986 and tight budget. So much is better than those “good old days.”

Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 21h ago

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

This is the guy that supposedly is dealing with some serious issue. Maybe dementia? ‘Cause the prices he quotes are from the distant past. I understand short-term memory is the first to go.

Tom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."

The garbage, utterly f*cked up White House we have because of our garbage, utterly f*cked up president And you're paying for every cent of this nonsensical vanity-project slop White House reporters say Trump spends 70% of his mental energy focusing on this sh*t rather than you

What, you say serial harassers Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are taking steps to encourage *more* harassment? How utterly not shocking.

4 of the 5 largest wildfires in the USA are burning in Oregon right now. Not sure if Trump will give us any assistance since we didn't vote for him. One 30,000 acre fire is near Mt. Hood & Timberline Lodge is at level 1 evacuation warning. We had ash on our car this morning in Portland.

What would you do with an extra $3,600? That’s how much more Oregon families are paying for goods and services under Trump.

Always special treatment for the wealthy and powerful.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

We are living in the stupid times. Amazon just pocketed $600 million in tariff refunds, Apple $2.2 billion, after SCOTUS stripped Trump's tariffs. Corporations have collected over $100 billion. That dividend check you were promised, you're not getting it.

Behind the scenes, Gulf countries are frustrated with what they see as a lack of a clear strategy from the U.S. as the war drags on, subjecting their territories to frequent Iranian attacks, people familiar with the matter said.
