You are simply lucky to have been born in a country where russia is not your neighbor. Because if there weren’t thousands of kilometers between you and russia, but a shared border instead, perhaps you would see things very differently. 1/4

US social media companies are interfering in the Brazilian elections in favour of the Far Right’s Flávio Bolsonaro. Meta is the latest. It’s just blocked the campaign account of President Lula in the final stretch of the election.

For every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice. Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

🥲 Seven air raid alerts in Kyiv in a single day. Jet-powered Shaheds are flying around 24/7. They only give the all-clear when those drones are still too far from the city. Otherwise, the tactic of wearing people down is working 100%.
