Air raid sirens howling in a completely dark city is some kind of cinematic horror. It’s mornings like this when it’s remarkably hard to believe in any possible better future, I just feel like we’re alone and this is it

i know grand juries have a relatively low bar for bringing indictments but i find myself wondering WTF is up with some of these grand jurors

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

I have seen too much evil. Good people died.
Blood. Screams. Eyes of survivors of torture and rape.

Evil burned everything inside me left only emptiness. This emptiness fills only when I see evil dying.

This is no longer anger. It's something else.

Blackout in Kyiv and Kyiv region.
Russia's goal is to push Ukrainians into darkness, with no electricity, water and heating.

This is genocide and terrorism.
