The question is not "why has Donald betrayed Ukraine?" The question is "how big a cut of unfrozen Russian assets will Donald get for betraying Ukraine?"

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

"Masks are great. But they aren’t magic" Source: x.com/PrognosticCh...
A screenshot of a social media post by Prognostic Chats (@PrognosticChats), dated 12:52 AM · Oct 9, 2026, with 13.4K Views.
The main text outlines that masks are effective but not infallible. It explains that a high viral load in a poorly ventilated room over time can overwhelm a mask, meaning solo masking requires some luck. The author notes that with other public health measures gone, solo masking acts as a last line of defense, but emphasizes it is far more effective when combined with universal masking, good ventilation, and routine testing.
This post directly quotes a message from activity (derogatory) (@poetryalpastor) from Oct 8 asking: "Does anybody else who regularly wears a mask feel like a super fuckup/failure/loser when they get sick?"

Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

The fact that hundreds of people are voluntarily giving their personal or business camera feeds directly to police is, unfortunately, not surprising and I'm sure the number will go up exponentially. This was always an announced feature of the RTCC and one reason it's especially problematic.
