Russia again threatens NATO with nuclear strikes, this time if NATO "attempts to cut off Kaliningrad," which translates into normal English as "if they dare to defend the Baltic states from Russian aggression." They are an unhinged mad beast, and wht do we do with a mad beast?

Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov compares Russia's invasion of Ukraine to Israel's war on Gaza. Why does the Left (that is to say, the Pro-Authoritarian Tankie/Campist Left in Europe and America) condemn Israel's genocide in Gaza but not Russia's genocide in Ukraine?

This is CNN's first story about Fergie Chambers' arrest and incls. statements from his wife and attorney other outlets also reported today, but wanted to note CNN's because of the Atlanta ties. His attorney claims Fergie was in Atlanta during one of the underlying events. www.cnn.com/2026/09/22/e...
Garzón said the Tunisia transfer, made while Chambers was living there, paid off a struggling football club’s debt and covered salaries, plus personal expenses, which he argued isn’t money laundering under Spanish law since the funds weren’t illegally sourced.

Four people who took part in the New Hampshire protest were sentenced to 60 days each in prison, while Chambers faces up to five years if convicted of riot and conspiracy to riot over the same episode. Garzón contends that his client wasn’t even in Massachusetts when the protest took place, but was in Atlanta, Georgia.
