Context: 300k tonnes of diesel = 93 million gallons. US uses 160 to 170 million gallons per day - so 300k tonnes would last 13-14 hours. Total order of 1.8 million tonnes = ~82 hours of US use = ~3 days 10 hours. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Something I only rarely see mentioned is the degree to which access to healthcare (and a lack of union protection) could be influencing willingness and ability to participate in protracted protesting in the U.S. In the EU, an individual can protest for days on end without fear of losing healthcare.

Russian asset. He thinks they're "friends". He probably doesn't have a clue about the degree to which he's being used (as are the rest of us) by someone who routinely out-maneuvers him. I think the word traitor applies here.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

All that groveling to fascism by Stanford and they're still on the hit list. Universities don't bring in foreigners to undercut US wages; they do it for the same reason NBA teams do - to beat their competition. Should the Spurs send Victor Wembanyama home too, to make a spot for an American?
