People think I'm joking when I say that disinformation threatens democracy and sovereignty, and that this means that kinetic options should be on the table, even if ideally not used.

So let me get this right: Trump is lifting sanctions on Russia — so the U.S. can buy oil to lower gas prices "immediately," even though that takes time — even though Russia supplies weapons/info to Iran, who Trump started a war with earlier this year, which is what caused oil prices to skyrocket...

Barn Owls! in Manhattan! 🦉🌃 This week, a family of Barn Owls was discovered on a water tower in NYC. Two adults and five young ones have been observed/confirmed so far! 10.9.2026, NYC Photos taken at night, using long exposure and ambient light - it is actually VERY dark up there! #birds
Close up of the top of a wooden water tower at night, with part of a brick and stone building and out of focus light green foliage in the foreground at the right of frame. On the very top of the water tower, a Barn Owl is perched. Another Barn owl is just below/ to the right, and a third one at the bottom of the slope of the tower’s roof, to the far right. A closer look reveals two more Barn Owls peering through a hole in the roof, facing the cameraClose up of the same water tower; three Barn Owls are visible on and near the very top of the towerCloser crop of the top of the water tower in the previous photos - one Barn owl is in profile on the top of the tower, another is just below and to the right, also in side profile. Part of the face of a third owl can be seen in the hole in the roofCloser crop of the top of the water tower - one Barn Owl is perched on the front/left slope, blending in very well with the rust-brown of the roof. Two other owls are peering out of the hole; one owl still has downy baby feathers at the top of their head

It is in the best interest of those in power in russia to destabilize other countries that are in opposition to them. An increase in fascism is one way to easily increase division and infighting within a country, as it increases divisions between people along lines of race, gender, culture, etc.
