A belated hello on Day 1518 of Russia's illegal full invasion.
Apologies for the very late start, I will catch up, it's just been a difficult day technically and with other commitments.
I have been keeping an eye on Ukraine of course.
Thankfully, it's been a quieter day.
Turn your outrage into action. Moms in Texas are organizing to get 10,000 of us across the country to keep this issue in lawmakers faces, turn up the heat till they #CloseTheCamps and #FreeTheFamilies

In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

This should be sent to every MAGA Evangelical preacher/cultist that wants Americans to spill their blood in defense of Israel to do whatever this is???
I wish we could get a little of that sweet sweet universal healthcare that they've got in Israel over here in the US. We are paying for it, after all.
Welcome to Monday's daily Ukraine thread for Day 1517 of the full Russian invasion.
I want to start by asking why, in over 4 years, has @IntlCrimCourt only ever brought war crime charges against 6 Russians, none since this 22 months ago?
Putin's only accused of child-abduction😡
What level of damage?
Last one was some small drone into the upper deck, not achievng too much.
Russian drones consist of 90% Chinese components
Hackers gained access to a closed-door meeting of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, where the issue of dependency on China was discussed. It is alleged that over 90% of the key components for Russian drones are supplied from the North Korea
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.
There's something missing on Bluesky lately.
RELEASE THE FILES!!!
This is my daily thread on developments in Ukraine and its defence against the Russian invasion.
Day 1516 of Putin's attempt to eradicate Ukrainian culture & anyone not willing to bow to its demands.
I've written about Ukraine for 25 years, but only sonsecutively for 1,516 days!
Indian merchant captains disagree
Wow... no mention of autopens.
Day 1515 - I am back again for another Ukraine thread..
I fact check and publish all the important news about the country and Russia's horde of war criminals, using my own contacts and experience and local media.
I've done it every single day. Yep, I've still never missed one.
Jewish-American actress Hannah Einbinder shakes everyone :
"As a Jewish person, as an American, I feel horrified by the Israeli government's massacre of well over 65,000 people in Gaza ... I am ashamed and infuriated because this massacre is funded by our tax dollars."

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.
7/7. It's worth dwelling on this point. It’s hard for Americans to process that their hard right politics is in large measure a Russian and Hungarian import — intellectually and also financially. We should take advantage of the defeat of Orbán to let this basic fact sink in.

Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) quoting White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming, "with a straight face," that gas prices have decreased over the past year since Trump took office. The embedded video shows Leavitt speaking at the White House briefing room podium, flanked by two officials, with a chyron reading "Text 'Truth' to 45470 for Updates from the White House."

"Millions of Americans are wondering if this president is delusional and thinks he's Jesus Christ" -- Brilliant line of questioning here from Rep. Takano to RFK Jr about Trump's nutso social media posts and what it says about his mental health
Day 1514 of Ukraine's heroic defence of its freedom and independence.
I've fact checked, documented and analysed the news every single one of those days, despite travel, sickness, birthdays and other things life throws at us.
Let's start Friday's thread:
Rental Car place: Are you willing to drive an EV?
Me: Yes, as long as it isn’t a Tesla. I refuse to drive a Tesla.
It’s actually incredibly difficult to vote these sociopaths out of office.. both parties. Our campaign finance laws make it almost impossible. People think voters choose these candidates but actually that’s not true. Corporations & foreign lobbies do. We get to select from the plutocrats draft picks

The Children's Village, a facility in New York that housed migrant children, is facing allegations of physical abuse, including placing some children in isolation in a so-called "red room," according to multiple sources who spoke with CNN about what's unfolded at the shelter. https://cnn.it/4esxF29
It should be mandatory for every Republican in Congress & the admin to write out one week of groceries for a family of 4 - everything they need - then drive to a grocery store and put each item in a cart, then pay for those items with their own money, then get a full tank of gas.
Ukraine thread Day 1513
BSky continues to be really, really annoying this morning.
Slightly better now, but I don't have time to upload everything I've posted already as I have to go do some tennis commentary.
So I've used a thread app to show my Xitter posts:
