Ukraine needs to increase the attacks on Russian oil, tenfold, and that means the allies need to supply more equipment and intelligence. Tyrants will only learn when they are forced to learn. With Ukraine until victory, for democracy and liberty for all.

The UCP is a far right government, banning books and flags in schools. As well as the teaching of oppression of racial groups. The feds respond not by defending us, but appointing the guy (Malcolm Lavoie) who drafted these Orwellian laws to be a judge. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/73871ad...

Trump just handed Putin a lifeline weeks before the midterms. Energy analysts say his Russian diesel deal won’t meaningfully lower prices. And a tanker that left Russia weeks before the announcement raises an even bigger question: How long was this in the works?

Trump Reopens U.S. Market to Putin’s Diesel — Consumers Get Little Relief
Days after the White House invoked an emergency to ease diesel costs, Trump promised Russia new fuel sales as analysts warned the arrangement is unlikely to move prices.

I'd be curious to see what happens immediately before that video; I wish the NYPD had made that public as well. But I have to say... on initial view, that looks indistinguishable from a carjacking, and if I'd been the driver I would also probably have floored it.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Nothing surprising after what Trump just did. Talks between the US, Ukraine, European countries, and NATO in Miami ended earlier than planned. There won’t even be a second day. Apparently, ending russia’s war against Ukraine is becoming less important than doing business with the aggressor.

Indeed, Trump himself has 34 felony convictions and was facing a further 92 felony charges... but nothing is going to happen to him, because SCOTUS threw a blanket of immunity over him. I think this is what he means.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”
